Description Prints available here

Gracing the spring cover of the small Vaults publication known as The New Solo Arcanist, Saldramina ro'Talib hails from the realm of Cassel and is a promising new spellbinder attached to the Lapis Path organization. Her recent efforts in unsealing the Keep during the Builders' Tome fiasco have earned her an enduring place in arcanist history.

For #artnouveau 's contest. Originally my aim was to semi-spoof, mostly mimic Mucha's style and work, see if I could fool anyone into thinking it was one of his pieces since that tends to be an amusing reaction. But I decided I liked these colors too much XD Anyway this was done referencing his West End Review coverpiece. I wanted to use a piece not seen as often, and I think I know why this isn't: palm fronds are the bloody devil.

This is a great piece of work, it does'nt look digital which is a great achievement as it can be hard to get a stisfactory finish with digital as the colours can be really deep and flat, but these are perfect! And I sympathise on the palm frond thing, I did one with olive trees in it and I nearly lost my mind doing all the leaves!

This is gorgeous! Very convincing! If I weren't so familiar with his works, this could easily be mistaken as one of them. I really love the color scheme.

Fronds: *wave at you mockingly*

I already mentioned that the linework is lovely, and that I like the cool color palette MUCH better.

But it's also awesome how the purples and blues create a mystic mood worthy of a high priestess. Also, the ethereal spirits are a vast improvement over the cuddly cherubs. I like your version lots better.

And of course, the bit tying it into the Vaults is just icing on the cake. XD

<3 You know you're always a doll, right? I'm going to try and get back to some of the Vaults stories, so I'll let you know how that goes :3

I'd make a poor archivist...I've only got passing and vague familiarity with the many realms you've got going in there.

Still. NEATO.

Asraniel In reply to rueyeet [2010-09-04 02:11:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh no, you'd be a particularly good archivist in the Luminumbra. Most archivists only have a very general knowledge of the other realms. Like "Yeah, I heard about those riots in Belgrade - Belgrade's in Serbia, right?"

SPIFFY.
