Description "you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears"

My echidna demoness Armiyana.
She's dressed a little more...frilly than I usually draw her. I do kinda like how it looks tho.

I drew this one after watching an episode of Tabboo that covered witchcraft. Armiyana seemed to be a likely canidate. She was originally a chronicler of sorts...so she probably knew some decent summoning rites and what have you. Or maybe it's just some form of protection spell. We'll never know.

I was originally going to have some candles lit too at the corners of the pentagram, but I gave up on that idea and went with that power glow. I wasn't sure really what I was going to do with this one. But I like how it came out.
Dark...but not overly so.

And for the love of everything (un)holy please full view. The thumbnail is terrible.

*EDIT* added some random highlight effects as suggested by a Kyou. *thumbs-up* So thank her and Sasha for the edit X3

very awesome.. I especially love the narrative feeling to this.. her expression suggests we walked in on her in the middle of her cerimony. the glowy pentigram effect looks especially awesome.

now this is awsome I really like the neon effect to the pentagram and your chara, her eings PWn me XD
I also like the scratchy almost starry effect you have going with the black background. My question is, how did you manage that effect on the pentagram? (that speed line kinda look?) *stares* it just looks great.
Oh and on a side gripe note. Seeing that the pentagram is pretty bright, I'm wondering why the color isnt reflecting off Armiyana's skin or clothes..?
just a thought

The pentagram was a circle that I cut up a bit with the line tool. I used the glow filter on it then used the wind effect on it. I kinda liked how it looked so I stuffed it in at the last minute. For some reason I couldn't get the same effect when I tried it a second time. I was trying to fix how the glow just ends when it hits her dress

There's still some descrepancies...like that glowing issue...I might work on it later. I wanna fuss with this one a bit more. Just not sure what else to do yet X.x
I was working on it for about 5 hours...so I was like...bleh..I'm done! X3

Very wonderful! I love that look she has. It looks like she's looking at the one she is trying to be protected from. I love the glowing sign under her and the bloodied paw has so much detail! Great picture.

The title is from a Sarah McLachlan song, is it not? I can't think of the name, but I was listening to that cd the other night. Heh. I like how this came out, and I'm kinda trying to envision the candles in my head...I think it would've looked cool...not that it doesn't now. lol
