I know every time I leave a comment I fanspaz about how you draw clothes, but I have to do it again here, because that is one amazing robe. The flow of the robe, and the sense of weight you gave it...*fanspaz*
The moths make a really nice focal point, contrasting as they are against all those blacks and blues. They're small, but they're noticable and important, which I like.

Thank you, I love painting billowy fabric, I have to keep from going overboard with it. Actually, this one was inspired by watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I loved how the dementors move.

Oh, I know. It's so much fun to do that. I used to draw characters with ridiculous costumes just so I could draw all that fabric. XD
I thought the dementors were very well-done in the movie. They looked a little different than I expected them to, but I liked what was done with them. I was particularly fond of their robes, and how they seemed more like smoke than fabric. Very creepy touch.

I LOVE moths! They are some of my favorite creatures. You should check out Stephanie Law's "Moth Queen" paintings, they are gorgeous! I'm planning on doing more moth-themed art in the future myself. No, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the Runes of Elfland, I'll have to look that up. Thanks for the comment!

The billowing cloth and lighting effects are amazing! She does look a bit scary, like a reaper, but the beautiful moon and bright sky seem to give a sense of hope. Everything from the concept to the color choices is very well done. Congratulations! this is one heck of a nice piece!

Thank you so much for the kind comments! I wanted her to look a bit scary and mysterious, but also silvery and beautiful. I'm glad that came through.
