Description Okay, this is the first time I've actually drawn a character to whom I've written a decent description. I'm going to be drawing her two companions at some time in the future.

I'm so happy and proud of this drawing, it looks just amazing to me. Well, I'm biased so I shouldn't trust it. Ayway, feel free to critique if you see something is off. Her face is the thing in which I'm not entirely satisfied with. It seems like I'm always unhappy with the faces so maybe I should practise them more. Also the shoes or boots or whatever could be better.

Tools: 0.5 HB mecha pencil, 3H, H, 2B, 5B pencils
Time taken: 5-7 hours


Description:
Ardoneia

Ardoneia is an immortal, a direct descendant of the Higher Gods. She is a half-breed between the so-called angelic and demonic immortals, and thus very unlike typical immortals. She is a stubborn person, and slow to make up her mind. She’s also scared of authorities and responsibilities. She likes seeing new places, fighting, winning and disguising herself. She hates ranged combat and archers, swimming, being told obvious things, exploding magical items and curses.
Ardoneia is one of the very rare adventuring immortals, and she roams the planes with two companions from races differing from hers (and of whom will be told later). She is young for an immortal, a mere 1219 years old, and she left her native plane at an extraordinarily early age, being only 96 and having not even finished the first stage of her education. Ardoneia is still emotionally and psychologically immature, even though immortals usually mature before they reach the age of 1000 years.
Ardoneia has few friends, only a couple on all the planes besides her companions, and she doesn’t have very good relations to most of her family. One of her many sisters is the most important exception to this, being good friends with Ardoneia and understanding her choices. Ardoneias mother is fairly old and thus Ardoneia has quite a number of siblings, a total of 867 (Immortals are very fertile and not aging, they continue breeding nearly eternally).
Ardoneia is rather short, only 189 cm tall, and weighs 78 kg (Immortals are very light compared to their great height and their height and weight are not directly related). She has the characteristic black angel wings of half-breed immortals, but she deviates from the norm in that she is more comfortable hiding her wings (that's why I didn't draw them and they wouldn't have fit in the pic anyway), whereas almost all immortals start feeling uncomfortable and even nauseous if they hide their wings for too long.
Ardoneia wields a very potent, enchanted two-handed sword, a gift from one of her ancestors, who is still living of course. Despite her feminine looks, her physical strength is even more awesome than that of a normal immortal, and it would allow her to easily swing the sword with one hand should she want to. Usually she holds it with two hands to gain better balance, She wears an epic armor manufactured by immortals, but she found it in one of the hells during her adventuring instead of just gaining it from the Immortals’ Plane. Besides these, she has many other magical trinkets and charms with her. She can use inner magic, spirit magic and rune magic as a supplement for her amazing melee skills.

I like how she actually looks strong, she has quite the presence to her. i love how you shaded this, and like i said though she looks strong, she still seems somewhat soft and effeminate. It may be the breasts and hair XD

The sword is the best part about this piece i think, I particularly love the intricate design on the blade, and the way you detailed the sheen is just lovely.

Ihmettelen kyllä jos jaksat lukee sen kokonaan, oon mestari kirjottamaan kuivaa tekstiä. Kiva vaan jos jaksaisit lukea kun kukaan muukaan sitä kuitenkaa lue. No, ainaki tuli harjoteltuu kirjottajantaitoja vähän.
Ei negatiivista sanottavaa?? Ehkä se sit on hyvä tai sit et vaan jaksa kattoo kunnolla
