Description Song: Rush - We Hold On
Lots of my titles have been referencing this particular part of We Hold On lately - straining against a fate, coffee breaks - But it's an applicable song!


Meet Esther Maston, one of Altari's three sisters and the one that was banished from Kestane by their mother for going against the Guild's principles. Her family's betrayal came as a shock, but as she fled the country she learned to fight against her fate and find her happiness elsewhere. Suffice to say, she did manage to find it!

Despite her acceptance of the situation, she still wants to reconcile with her brother and sisters someday. She's been writing them a letter every year since she went eastward, but never got anything in return. She may be more lenient on her siblings, but she does not want to see her parents again. Especially since she knows that her siblings were merely loyal to them, but her parents acted on their own volition and had no one forcing their hand to commit this terrible banishment.

Thought it was time for a larger picture again, because how am I ever gonna learn how to draw them if I never practice? 


She was originally designed by SilverBirdWings , go check her out! I'd been itching to finally draw this babe, so a few nights ago I finally ended up drawing her and going all in ;v;

This piece is so good!  The background looks great, the character looks great, the colours look great!  I really dig Esther's design too (also damn, finally getting to see Altari's family ;v; ).

Thank you, I'm happy you like this! She'd been in my 'MUST use' design folder for so long and I finally decided to give her the love she deserves ^^

Thank you very much! Once you learn how shading water works and apply some pretty colours that would never be present in our dirty modern society, water can pop out so much in artwork :D

Thank you! I'm gonna try to keep her happy, but like any story that will be real hard
