This is a commission I completed for ShadowedLullaby , as a gift for their friend, Mari-Odettia- of their mascot OC, "Odettia"

Odettia is Half Xenette, a race created by Mari-Odettia

Here is a little bit of her character bio from her Character Info journal (If you'd like to read more about her, go here! mari-odettia.deviantart.com/jo… )
Name: Odettia Lovette
Powers: Can cry tears that turn into crystals/gems.
Alternate Powers: Can bring stories to life but doesn't know this.
Ethnicity: Half Middle Eastern & Half Irish
Languages: English, some Chinese
Race: Half-Xenette & Half-Demon
Personality: She has two. Her normal everyday one is a bit closed off, but still gregarious and friendly and mostly sweet. She does get snappy, and suffers from loneliness as she has a hard time connecting with people on a personal and close knit level. Has never really had a lover before. She's possessive and can be aggressive, and hates being talked down to.
Personality Flaws: Too possessive at times, a bit too closed off, overly critical of herself, Has a hard time letting go of power/not being in control

The inspiration for this image came from what I was told about Odettia by her creator, and it was that (I'm slightly paraphrasing here) Odettia is a rather melancholy/lonely character. She suffers from loneliness of being exiled from her clan/race and has a hard time emotionally connecting to people. Roses trigger her sadness the most, because for some reason everyone compares her to them. She loves white lilies the most, but no one thinks of her as something pure like that. So it was decided that I would draw Odettia holding a rose, with a sad or melancholy expression.

Odettia was a lot of fun to draw, because she has so many small details... and if I haven't said this too many times before, I love doing details!! XD There's just some kind of feeling you get when you're checking reference images and going back to your own work over and over, refining everything to accurately represent each and every little detail perfectly... it's like writing an essay with zero typos. XD I never liked writing essays though so maybe that's not a good analogy... lol

I think what I enjoyed most about drawing this pic was her horns- It's not very often I get reason to draw such mythical type attributes! I also loved doing the netting between the gems in her hair, because I had to go into photoshop and figure out a way to make and perfect my own photoshop brush to create that design! I always love a challenge in that sense, it's the best way to learn your program and how it works: having an end result in your head, and finding a way to create it!

As always, another super enjoyable commission completed for ShadowedLullaby (and Mari-Odettia ).... Enjoy!

Drawn and colored using Painttool SAI, finishing touches done using Photoshop CS2, all using Wacom Intuos4 Tablet.

Commissions are OPEN! Sketches start at 10$!
