Description Made for this contest here:  Short Challenge #28 - Last Week to enter

The art is based off a story I wrote and published of where the woman, Elaine, in an effort to stop the dark dragon Zar'ul from taking over the realm, goes on a quest to seek the power behind the legendary Crown of Ravens in the hopes of wielding it against the dark forces coming. 

Honestly, I think the hardest part about this was making the crown. You don't think about the complexity of the design when you're writing the story, but it's another thing altogether when you actually have to make it yourself. After calling myself a moron for writing a crown this weird, I finally said a very desperate prayer for some divine help.   And thank God, He did, and the crown actually turned out better than I expected.       

You can view the original concept for the art that I made last year here: fav.me/d8gfvhi
I personally think my new version is a huge improvement.

Awesome work! I can imagine the crown was difficult to do.

Thank you! XD, it was a bit of a trial. Hardest part was getting ravens on the crown in the pose I wanted and to look metallic. And of course everything is black, so double trouble. Thank God for Youtube tutorials!

ikr??? I can imagine it was quite the feat. Have no idea where I'd even begin to tackle that one.

Well if you ever did, I could definitely give you some pointers on what NOT to do to save you a few hours of headache and frustration.

Very beautiful! My favorite thing about this is either the motion and flowetry she's got going on with her hair and pose... or the color scheme. I love both!

Lol and I kinda know what you are saying...although, for me it's quite the opposite! haha As an illustrator first and writer second, I tend to draw and think up character designs pretty easily and efficiently, but when it comes to writing about them I have trouble describing what I drew and conveying design correctly through word. In any case, your crown turned out amazing!

RReddVar In reply to SpicePrincess [2016-08-25 01:54:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!    XD, I actually have that problem myself at times. I get an image in my head and sometimes it's like the words went playing hide and seek. But it usually works out. Thank you again for the kind words. After the aching eyeballs and hair pulling, it's a relief to know one's work came out good.
