Description Perhaps I'm influenced a little too much by the MCU, but I have a soft spot for characters who know each other so well, they can just speak casually like this in any situation, no matter how dangerous.

Azalea and Vandis go way back. The latter is the cousin of my really old OC Ganas, after all. Hard to deny those Treedancer genes are responsible for her canopy of green hair and enormous... heart.

It feels so good to do an actual finished piece again rather than sketch for speed. Here's hoping for more.

That's it for this batch of new arts. Everyone stay safe, stay indoors as much as possible, wear a mask if you have to go out. I know it doesn't seem like there's an end in sight yet, but we will beat this.

It's great to see the polished lineart again, and always a treat to see Vandis if only for selfish reasons.  Here's hoping that you've been well.

Thank you! Hope you're doing okay as well.

Yeah, with a few exceptions where I'm going strictly for speed or doing a more complex pose that I could use more practice with, I've even started doing smoother lineart in my /sketches/. (The recent uploads of Echo and Kassie are good examples of this.) So I decided to take my time on this piece and do a proper "ink" layer for the first time in ages just to see how it looked. I didn't think I was improving all that much these past few years, but I'm so happy to be wrong.

Not gonna lie, I totally forgot I originally created Vandis for your D&D campaign. The modern version of her bears so little resemblance to that character outside of "being an elf who can communicate with birds." But the memories are flooding back now, especially since "online" is the only way anyone can meet up for tabletop RPGs these days. I remember spending the early parts of our first session with a nail file in my hand, grinding away the clip mark on the d20 from the GameScience set you bought me.

I dunno, the MCU isn't exactly a bad influence on art and personalities.  The way those movies are written feel more organic to me than especially DC movies.
