Commission for Newenglander ^^

This one features a new character, Aurora the golden girl~

"In late-medieval times, Aurora is the daughter of a peasant family who live on the border of an affluent city. She has always been a hard worker and is capable of doing rigorous farm-work, cooking, weaving, and all the other vital tasks of keeping a country home going. She has dreams of marrying above her position and enjoying all the luxury of the city, but although she's very intelligent and sweet-natured, she's quite plain - not ugly, but not conventionally attractive - and this ruins her chances of marrying even someone in her own social level, let alone the wealthier classes. Feeling spurned, she wishes one day to be worth her weight in gold - and wakes up the next morning to find that her wish has been granted too literally: she's become a living, moving statue of the purest gold." (Description by the commissioner, the story carries on but I'll hold off the details for now)

The scene here represents Aurora at a riverbank, soon after her transformation. I had fun with the colors ^^ Went for a complementary palette and also I thought it could be interesting to depict the character with the sun rising up since Aurora means 'dawn' and now she has noticed her physical change.
