Description Medium: Watercolor
Size 6x10?

Kyrn is a character I began writing and drawing in high school. I was asked to redraw her by someone who had a seen a much older picture. Originally she had dark hair and the white came about once when I decided I really liked a drawing in an unfinished state. Long, long ago, Gargoyles was my first fandom so Kyrn herself had gargoyle wings in one form.

My ideas have changed a lot since then with every painting, and now I associate her with magic, life, growth, change, and ivy. The title this time was surprisingly easy because there wasn't anything else it could be.

If you've read my comic she's in there a little bit so far [link]

Oh wow. This is fantastic!

I absolutely love the way you've coloured it, and the pose and overall scene are utterly perfect. She has a very gentle "mother earth" serenity going on.

Definitely faving this. Yup.

it's strange how characters come and stay. They grow and change as we grow and change, but they almost become as real as ourselves.
