Description
Commission for Deydranos of Elidwihn
seems like she's technically a Guardian-in-training according to her bio buuuut the sword and shield and armor inspired me to do a battlefield type of scene even if she hasn't been in one quite yetReally kinda struggled with the colors on this, I kept making them too bright and saturated for what I was going for, trying to branch out and do some more muted scenes too. I think I do like how it turned out for the most part though.
Hope you like it!

This looks awesome! The pose and background and colour all mesh perfectly! Bravo!
I love the shield, it doesn’t get enough love in fantasy art IMO, but where’s her helmet? It’s a battle!

Your art is stunning as always. It's interesting to see you going for something more muted, too!

OH MY GOSH IT'S AMAZING!!
It's absolutely perfect! I love, love, loooovvveee how you drew her face and her braid, it's soooo pretty and precisely how I imagined her! 
And speaking of, the battlefield scene is definitely fitting, she's going to fight in some but I didn't want to spoiler that in her bio
Thank you so much for painting this gorgeous commission! And just like Deisira, this is my phone's wallpaper now!

Magnificent scene, she looks proud and determined,
waiting for the assault of her enemies !
Her armor design is splendid and functional,
at last a woman armor which protects the entire body !

In one hand, I've nothing against sexy warriors, they look great.
But in another hand, I think that in a real life battle, Conan and Red Sonja
for example, would have been killed quickly with their outfits, because
a beast skin underwear and a chainmail bikini are not very efficient armors !

yeah they definitely both have their place and I also have nothing against sexy fighters but I just think the internet is too over-saturated with them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the internet is the place of over-saturation.
I think we need more balance between sexy warriors
with almost no armor, sexy warriors in heavy armors,
ugly warriors with a good equipment and very pathetic warriors
with a bad equipment, no luck, scars and poisoned weapons,
in order to content all the people.
We also need to see more cute orcs and more ugly elves
in the future and the world will be fairer !
