Description InformationWhen Amalysis approached me about a design commission, I knew it was going to be a wonderful experience, as she gave me full creative freedom with only some vague concepts to build off of, like mage or necromancer. I really like to run with these kinds of orders hahaha. So this lovely was born from about 4 days of work, half of which was probably just brainstorming and the other half was cursing at all the tiny detail. xD She is, by far, my favorite design I've ever done, across the entire board. She also has the most hand-painting I've ever done without reference! Her outfit and her wings were done from scratch without any other aid, so that's a pretty huge breakthrough and I'm extremely excited to continue taking steps toward art independent of stock. I could not be more happy to upload her, so I hope she is enjoyed! Β 

P.S. trust me, zoom in

*falls over in a legit heartattack*

Holymotherofchocolatechipwaffles. This is beyond words. The feathers and the gold detailing especially, is so well done. When I zoomed in all the way I think I really did a literal jaw drop! So impressive! Please keep doing more and more of these <3Β 

Oh and the anatomy of everything, how it all looks exactly like it should and is so pleasing to the eye is making me jealous! Ahh.

This comment is so dang precious, I just want to hug you and squeeze you and thank you forever Thank you so so much. Such a wonderful boost, and I'm so grateful because I get real nervous uploading humans cuz I know most people watch me for horses and I'm always scared to annoy my watchers. Having someone love and promote my continued human designs makes me feel so warm!

I don't have loads of skill with digital painting myself, but I've pretty much always drawn from memory/imagination, so let me know if there's anything I can do to help
Delving into new art skills is scary business though, I'm still trying to get my head around blender and digital 3D art. I'd love to make some low poly stuff eventually. I think I'm slowly getting there! Definitely needs a lot of patience though

I am still so insanely jealous!

See! SEE! I told you there is nothing you can't do! Everything about this is perfection - those wings are absolutely gorgeous and that dress is incredible! The design of the woman itself is gorgeous and your horns are to -die- for! You are such an incredible artist and you have such an amazing talent! This is by far one of the most gorgeous designs I have ever seen!

I am sorryyyyy

My favorite lil cheerleader, you! Thank you so much, Harls. You always support me through the difficult pieces and you're a great source of encouragement. You should be a pro hand-holder. xDΒ

I cannot be a pro hand-holder! That would mean I'd have to start charging you and I don't desire to ever do that! Β 
And you are always so very welcome! I know how much you love those difficult pieces, though, and I will always be there to remind you of that, and to cheer you on when you are uncertain about how to do something. Why? Because you always figure it out. Β

AAHHH SHES BEAUTIFUL EXQUISITEΒ Β 

I really love the transition you did on her wings, from the feathers to the membrane and that lovely detail on the inside of them. The spikes (?, not sure of the right word here) are s nice touch that added some danger to the beauty. The clothing style is beatiful. I can see a lot of work in just the hem of the dress, too. Okay, the face. THE. FACE. That's just amazing, 'nough said. Then the horns, love the type you used here. The detaik you put on the base and tip of the horns is lovely. Love, love, love the little orb you positioned between them and the little jewelry you have underneath the orb isΒ Β . Β I'm so awed right now and impressed that so few words to you can make something so breathtaking. Thank you sooo much .

Oh wow, what an awesome response! I love that you pointed out the things you like instead of just generalizing a compliment, it really means a lot to me that you took the time to give in-depth feedback and I'm on cloud 9 that you like her so much! There's nothing better than making a design and knowing it will go to a good home and be loved. It's not open yet, but once my site Alcryst is done (more info at Alcryst-RPG ), you and her are more than welcome to pop in! But 0 pressure, either way I'd just love to see what you do with her, like what kind of person she becomes and if she gets more art then I'd be super nosy to see it! xD You were a fantastic client to work for and I can't thank you enough for the casual vibe and the total creative freedom you gave me, I was at ease and able to unleash some real brainstorming with her and making a new crowning jewel for my design portfolio.

Of course! Would have wrote more as I was freaking out when I saw this in my notifications when I woke up xD Forgot to mention the feet, and the markings you put on the sternum going down the ribs, too. ^^ And Ill definetly check out Alcryst, for sure. And no problem, I love letting the artist have their freedom as I'm never too sure what I want, and I love having that surprise feeling when I see something like this, something amazing to just stare at for hours.Β

Ahhhh and the amazing feelings continue, thank you so much! I am seriously just floating today on pure happiness from how amazing your feedback has made me feel. I cannot tell you how grateful I am and how unbelievably thrilled I am that you love her this much. I know she won't go sit in a dusty closet never again noticed or written about, and that is a relieving and wonderful feeling as a designer.

You order art the way I do, then! I always try to leave it up to the artists, though it doesn't always make them very happy cuz they want specifics xD But I have found that letting an artist follow their own muse makes the best result, because they know their style--they know what will look best in their style. Plus, if they are following their muse, that usually makes the best, fastest, and most beautiful pieces rather than trying to do something so specific that is the opposite of what they might've chosen! I mainly just try to educate them on what my character is like and then set them free to do any pose or concept they want. It can be a little difficult when they barely speak English, though, or aren't willing to read all the info to learn the character. Oops hahah

You deserve all the feels.Β And yup, already trying to think of how I want her fleshed out x3. That's cool. I'm so indecisive, I never know what to pick xD That has happened to me a couple of times, too, with them asking for clarification on what I want, and I just want them to pick the majority of it ^^ But yeah, just to put it out there again, you did a really wonderful job. Β Β Time for name hunting!

Ahhh I can't wait to see her go from design to actual character, I am going to be avidly watching your account for details as you slowly decide things about her.Β Β
