Description

  Hello everyone! Today we are going to meet one of the most secretive and enigmatic characters that made its way to the Brigade in the recent years. 

   During the Brigade's long campaign to aid the elves of Quel'Thalas in restoring the Sunwell, the Brigade has uncovered many strange, ancient artifacts. Among them were powerful weapons, wondrous armor and relics thought long lost. 

   The most valuable of all though, were several scrolls and tomes, some of them thousands of years old. One in particular was found holding a wellspring of knowledge on the magic of the Sun and Light. The Brigade's scholars approached one of the foremost experts to help them decipher the knowledge locked within. 

   Albeit reclusive and living in self imposed exile, Ozmyrelda was lured by the unexpected discovery of the tomes, and agreed to join the Brigade and aid as a researcher and consultant. Later on, she became a mentor who excels in instructing promising divine spell casters in the ways the Sun, as well as one of the mightiest weapons whenever faced with the threat from the forces of darkness and shadows. 

   This piece is a highly experimental artwork in which I attempted to combine my usual style with that of a more stylized, tarot style art. Bonus points to anyone who figures out what was the dress and scepter based on .  It was painted as a birthday present for our dear . I hope you like the final result, despite the slightly unusual style .

And, Happy Birthday

    Ozmyrelda is unlikely to take part in the summer celebrations, but she has been kind enough to donate a Golden Key to the first treasure hunter who claims it (THIS KEY HAS BEEN CLAIMED). She would like to donate something else, but is still considering what would be the best donation on her behalf. There are no Silver, Truesilver or Arcanite keys here.

That's amazing! The layers are quite different, and the figure of Ozmyrelda really stands out against the more simple background. I love the pose and scepter!
A really eye catching piece!

Maybe I should draw something around tarot cards, as well...

I am once again reminded how much difficulty I have in drawing/painting clothes and golden things, lol. You pulled it off brilliantly, though

Thank you! Tarot styled art is something I have always wanted to try. In the end
I got to make this hybrid, but I'd still want to explore this some more.

This, is... I don't even know what to say. Its like all of the layers don't even go together, and yet they work perfectly together. That's so weird.

So beaitiful! She looks so noble and pure. Also design of robe is great, simple and realistic but elegant and with pretty ornament. And I love this Tarot card stylization, it fits her so well, making the picture look like a fresco of a saint.
Is the staff the Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei?

Thank you! I'm glad that you like it. The scepter is indeed a modified Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei

Thank you! I would actually love to devote much more time to pursuing this style and similar experiments. Hopefully I'll get more
opportunities to do just that .

I would definitely love to see more of this if you get the chance to do more!

(on a side note, maybe this could be an experimental commission category)

Galder In reply to jmaeq [2019-07-16 06:57:06 +0000 UTC]

That's an interesting idea. Honestly, I wanted to rework my commission sheet some time ago already. Add animations and maybe
this kind of stylized work to the options
