Description
Here we have a lovely amazonian elf who's lost her way. Or perhaps found it.For followers of Magic: the Gathering, this is a Naya vixen who found life in the barbaric wild of the jungle just a touch too safe and mundane. So she decided to venture to a place where you can become barbecue at any second, just because the land beneath you felt like burping.
I wanted to give her a sense of being an immersed immigrant. She's adopted much of the dress, customs, and ways of her new home, yet retains and incorporates her own history. Not entirely acculturated in this strange land.
For scheme, I thought it'd be fun to experiment with a mostly neutral subject on a highly saturated and active background. Kinda the opposite of what I usually do. It's amazing just how much color we perceive from context alone.

This is one of my favorites of yours. Not entirely sure why, though it could be a passing resemblance to Yeva, who is one of my favorite planeswalkers. I guess I'm a sucker for white-blond hair and green eyes.

This is really beautiful. I love how striking her appearance is made by the tattoo around her
bright green eyes, in contrast with her white hair. Really, very beautiful!

Am I weird if after my first glance of this my thoughts are: that thing on her shoulder must have had a nose like an elephant.

Gorgeous work Steve, up to a similar standard as your other works. I love the mismatched design, how she seems so out of place, while trying to fit into her surroundings, while the tattoo, work on her skin and garb are just great. Well done, keep it up.

Pre-ordered the new 'Chaos Rains' Plane-chase set entirely for the cascade... this just puts the icing on the cake

Still love this piece of worth of you the most, it's the use of colours that fit the card and the card itself in all it's foilyness.
Just fantastic!

The contrast of forest to mountain is incredible. She doesn't seem lost like some may think, but rather, ready for the challenge. I love it, being a red/green planeswalker myself, it's awesome!
