Description This is a character portrait I've recently done for StravenLite, an illustration of one of the main characters of her stories. It was a bit of a challenge fitting all those colors in one imagine without loosing the focus on the character but I think I pulled it with honors (in no false modesty). Enjoy!

It's fun to finally see Taps in a more realistic style. I love how you've done her clothes and Tapper.

The bench and the statue are "top notch" as Taps would say. And of course the Tava tree, you pulled it off very well.

Bright colors are big in this magical world and they make everything all the more cheerful to me. So, thanks for doing that.

Taps is enjoying her day and she's definitely earned a break from her Realm Keeper duties.

Good job!Β Β

I'm glad you enjoy it. Might be that you can find more information on Taps on StravenLite's page - if you're interested.

Oh I'm interested alright! I've been having a lot of commissions done lately.
Star Trek through not rpg.

I've done Star Wars commissions before but I have to say I never done Star Trek. I'm a fan of the series although I can't say I'm a trekker since I never got that deep into the fandom.

Well mine is an AU from the JJ Abrams movies.

Looks like a very involved idea. I'm more a fan of the series than the movies although I would have enjoyed the movies just as much with less lens flares. Its very nice that you took that AU idea and turned it around on itself to create your own world. Β

Β Oh my goodness... Β TAPPY!!! Err I mean Taps! Β 

Β I am so happy that you did one of my favorite characters ever! Taps is such a big favorite of mine! ^^ I really really had high expectations on you pulling off this amazing wonderful character and you did her justice! You truly made Taps, not a woman trying to look like Taps but its really Taps. She is as beautiful and as perfect as I knew she'd be, her outfit, her Tapper, her gorgeous hair and oh she is so pretty! Her smile and eyes are just perfect and so as I imagined her. You did an amazing job on the Tava tree, the Fountain and statue and General Zizzor looks so adorable yet pretty ^^. And you did an excellent job on the Smitten rose, just beautiful all in all.

I can't tell you how happy I am to see this deviation and Taps in such an beautiful style and perspective. You did an fanastic job!

Bravo! and

I have to confess that the tava tree is always the hardest thing to put in the scene because its so colorful it steals the attention entirely.

No worries Β  I personally love how you did the tava tree, but seeing Taps in your art is such a treat! ^^

Believe it or not, the tava tree is the hardest thing to do in this images. It has so many colors its always a challenge on picking the right shades as not to clash too hard with everything else in the image.

I can imagine it is for obvious reasons, but despite it I think you did a marvelous job
