Description
am sick, literally,my hands are trembling so much i could just only manage to finish colouring her skirt and her expanding 'S' shaped jacket...and even then, she's still on the rough sidesorry man, i will do the background once am well! am rather relieved this piece finished on time for your contest! thanks for giving me a chance to improve my artwork and submitting it! ^^
Vaengir means wings in old Norse. i did her lineart some weeks after i did Vaengir , but never gotten round to colouring her. will upload lineart on a later date after am well;;;. she's my original character. meant for her to appear in my comic one day, but she will look a bit different then!
time taken to do her:4 days, on and off, in between work and sleep, roughly 55 hours.
original lineart, just uploaded it
deviant id number 2:
steps for producing it:
**updates**
hurray, results are out! though i am sorry i didn't make it to the grand prize, i am still glad i managed to be a finalist!^^ i really learn a lot when doing this piece, i hope i can now paint like this without inhibition and faster in future~finally my colouring style is catching up to my lineart skills^^ hurray!,hehe, imagine all the havoc i can wreck with every hapiness for those 3 months~hahaXDDD
***updates 2****
recently submitted it for :icon 's fantasy themed contest at [link] saw this contest at 's artwork
+++updates 3+++ forgot to flesh her out;;;XP
lady vaengir, she is the tribal leader for the winged tribes far up north, where it's cold. the tribe there usually have fair skin, but she has tanned skin, as she's a mix, her mother from the south where it's warm. nevertheless, she retains her tribe's ability to withstand the cold and frost.
the surrounding environment:
a mix of old age with new age technology, hence her fusion designs. the people there have a genetic blend with other creatures. the vaengir tribes blended with the birds, and lady vaengir's happened to be an owl.
she will be used in a comic i had in mind, but her role will be completely different from what i typed above. yeah, i know, u are probably going 'what the!?' now right?hahahaha8D

Not that they were bad though, the piece gives out multiple impressions which is great!

lol, thanks
wow, would really like to know what impressions they give you~^^, i may know what impressions it gives me, but sometimes, i wondered if they are the same impressions after it's being viewed by other people...

First of all, she looks 'beautiful' with all those white feathers but at the same time her tanned skin and the red feathers (or is it her costume?)give out 'elegance' aura. The smooth curves on her costume (the big wings and tail parts) give out 'casual' sense of cruising or floating in the air but her sharp glance tells me that she is a person/creature with 'purpose' and 'determination'. And the fingers (with blood on them) are 'creepy'
That pretty much sums up the multiple impressions I had for her.
Cheers!

wow, thank you so much for that detailed reply^^,! i greatly appreciate it! haha, you are mostly rite, though actually,her nails are red, because...they are red? XDDD cool, next time someone ask, am gonna tell them it's blood from now on ~
red feathers are part of her i purposely made it look like it's attached to her body via something else, so to be less conventional and unexpected ^^, 'tails' are her costume, but as i had intended to make it look like she's a bird, i quite understand it some of you thought it was her tail, it makes me really happy as it meant i had actually succeeded in conveying her as a bird~thank you:

You're very welcome and thank 'you' for making this gorgeous piece!
Red nails are even better (more stylized) than bloody nails, the blood thing was just my interpretation.
And yes, you succeeded in conveying her as a bird, although I knew it's part of her costume... but I can't help calling it her 'tail' because it looked perfectly fitted!
Cheers!

if regarding the figure, yes, it's finished some strokes i leave brushy to give feeling of movement.though am thinking of making it more refined when i do something like that next time.
the background...am still gathering information on how to do it, so for now, plz just considered this piece...a finished piece that can potentially be 'finished' again (grin)
