Description
Chandra, in a rare, quiet moment of not burninating everything in sight.I've always had a soft spot for firehairs. Both visually, and their mythical propensity for passion. I've always figured that the hair that grows inside my brain is red.
For Magic: the Gathering. Art direction by Karin Powell.
Goggles by Retain-a-Retina Eyewear and Internet Filtering.

I have a soft spot for redheads (with freckles) too. So, this particolar piece of your collection is doubly appreciated.

I like her more looking like this, all that fire head thing going on looks really unflattering on her. And her freckles look more prominent here, seriously I never knew she had some (or maybe I wasn't focusing enough on that Ablaze art you posted weeks back

Can you just do all of the planeswalkers? Please?
You already do Liliana so beautifully, and you make Chandra so much more badass.
It must be done!

Holy crap, she's beautiful. Looks better this way I think. Though she is also bad ass when a light.

it's supposed to be a neck guard?
huh, I had always thought that it was an ornimental (or supplemental) fuel line or something, given that she has the flame gauntlet thing on her left.

I was figuring the hose was a fuel line or something. What we've been talking about it is the other side, her left. (At least that's what I've been talking about...)

Solid SOLID piece! Great lighting and what a beauty! Interesting comments all through the stream here. I like the bit about the neck protector being on the wrong side.
Anyway. Fantastic piece.

Does she loose her freckles when she's on fire? o_o`

They pop off her face, as red hot embers, and do her bidding. Like Calcifer in Howl's Moving Castle.
