Description
Here in the humid marsh that I call my home, I have spent my time discovering myself. Who I am and who I was meant to be. There have been times of trouble and pain, many nights filled with nightmares, and memories that ne'er leave me. But upon the face I study in the crystal mirror, I see no longer a scared little monster-child. Rather, a strong, calloused woman. I am home, and this is me. Who I was meant to be. I am Iris.
EDIT: Added refraction of the water, fixed some line color, and added a bit more movement to the water. These are details I'm surprised I missed XD I was so into the shading, that I missed a ton.
I was practicing my backgrounds again, and ended up with this piece 
Anywho, goodnight~!
Iris belongs to me.

I didn't think of this at first, because the shading of the water is spot-on, but the one thing this piece is missing is some refraction.
Now I see what you meant about Iris' similarities to you. She has more than a head of hair, she has a bed of hair. Or should I say ample foliage? And that Jace face still kills me.

I got to looking, and you're right! I went and added refraction yesterday XD normally I wouldn't forget that. Too excited to finish it I guess!
Yes, you make a point XD got enough hair to never need a sleeping mat, haha! That is something we have in common it seems, haha!
Yes, oh my lands... The icon made everything perfect x'D

Careful, Iris. Go any deeper in the water and you'll start bouncing on the surface.
On a more serious note, not only is the background pretty dang good, but even the detail of the wood swirls on her skin is amazing! Excellent work as always.

I can just see it happening xD
Legend says on moonless nights... Some can hear calling from the water's center... Some say it is the ghostly cries of someone who died here long ago.
Iris: I'M NOT DEAD! NOW HELP ME GET TO SHORE!
There it is now!
Thank you kindly~!

This is a beautiful piece of work you've done here Faye, one that really shows off how beautiful Iris really can be and that little thing you did in the description just makes it eve better. Great job! ^^

Thank you Ty! : D
I was a little nervous to post this one, but I ended up being very happy with it! I tried a lot of new techniques to show off the beauty of the area and water. And Iris herself really added to it~!
And somewhere, Jace is dead. xD seriously, I was DYING after I posted this. I scrolled down and saw my icon of Jace doing the eyebrow wiggle under the art, and I was gone!

You're welcome Faye! And hey, don't be nervous in showing such beautiful art! Heck, I wish I was as good an artist as you, but take pride in the art you put so much effort into. ^^
Oh gosh, I just now noticed that! I guess some habits never go away completely. XD

That looks great! Wow, it's almost like I'm really there! Wait, wait wait, no, no, NO please dear sweet Farore no! I'm too young to die for misunderstood accidents! I'm not here to do that, I swea-
My irrational fears about Porta-potties aside (and man is that a story I don't want to repeat) you said you were practicing backgrounds? It definitely shows, nice work. The plants look lush; the water looks pristine; That rock looks, rocky. Speaking of Rocky, looks like Iris' training montage paid off, she says so herself.
And that's it. This is a very nice picture of an empty spring. Don't know why that excerpt about Iris is there but whatever. Before you tell me, no, I'm not turning around and looking at her, this is a beautiful, EMPTY, spring. Full, of, nothing. Ignore that black eye I suddenly have, I just, fell down some door-knobs, yeah.

*hands you an icepack for your black eye*
man, darn those empty springs punching people in the face! I swear, sources of water have no care! This is an outrage- I mean, there's nothing there, just peaceful, quiet water. I don't see anyone bathing here. Y'know, you could press charges on springs for assault!
Anywho, thank you! I'm glad my work paid off : D
Now, to lecture this spring about punching people in the face...
