Description The Queen.

I've drawn a lot of elements before working on photoshop, the head and the sword are based on this [link] from the game Tactics Ogre, I wasn't able to obtain what I wanted without inspiration for the face.

Everything made with Pentool.

Inspired by the works of the band The moon lay hidden beneath a cloud, medieval music. Ordeal from the ost of Arc the Lad IV a song full of power and foolishness. And a lot of works from Hitoshi Sakimoto & Masaharu Iwata.

Edit: Adding some lines in the background, better like this.

It explains clearly the differencies between them

This is my favorite of your collection! Such a great feel and flow to it...great colors choices as well. I love the shading and line techniques you used; it has a certain fluid grace. Also in some ways (in my opinion) it hints at a very nice, subtle stained glass vibe. And the hair! Well, I'm jealous of the hair...

Great work!

Thanks for taking time to develop your feelings about my work, I think it's the main point of sharing art in DA. And more, you're the first person who talk about stained glass I hadn't thought about it

You are more than welcome!

I do try to put some time into comments when I can, especially when the piece is one I especially appreciate. I agree with you, one of the main reasons I submit to dA is the hope to get some depth of feedback.

If you happen to have some spare time feel free to have a look at my gallery, I have recently started trying to improve my digital art and I always appreciate constructive comments!

I recognized the Tactics Ogre influence almost immediately. This is a nice tribute to Catiua.

Thanks! I was afraid because I choose to remove her dress and add elements to give an interpretation of the work, but Tactics Ogre remain a main inspiration. Great game, when Matsuno is mentioned in the staff, it's always a seal of quality, like with Vagrant Story or Final Fantasy Tactics

Glad if you've felt some sort of "unit" in the way I work, I hardly find a "global touch" in what I do.

Thank you, especially for the watch since January
