Description A Beauty for a Beast...

This is the beautiful Aralyn, Oc of the amazing , and slave to the evil elf, Vondel. Though she carries her burden with a silent resignation I can imagine that she often cries when she is alone. I could not draw her without at least attempting to capture some of her sadness. I hope I did well with her!

tied for first place in 's contest! =PiccolaRia was kind enough to enter to win a tablet for her dear friend =AngelLale87 !! This picture is just one of several other prizes she will receive for her entry of this amazing picture:

Congratulations, dear!!! I hope you like it!!

Thank you! Yes, Aralyn has a very rough life. 

I haven't looked at this picture in a very long time. It might have to be one of those I redraw at some point!

Beautiful work. I love the way she's fading into the abyss of her thoughts and the alone tear down her cheek. Very saddening and emotionla piece.

Aliciane [2013-01-13 06:06:28 +0000 UTC]

Wow, you managed to give her such a sad and tortured look. What is impressive is that when most people only use the eyebrows to suggest the expression, you also used the eyelids by suggesting their tension. Rah, I'm really bad at expressing myself in English
What I mean is that you really seem to have huge knowledge of anatomy and that you apply it very well to your semi-realism style

Gnewi In reply to Aliciane [2013-01-13 15:31:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!! I think this is probably the first time I really tried to use the shape of the eye and lid to show sadness as well, and I am so happy that you noticed it! Thank you! You do a great job expressing yourself in English!

I don't know about a huge knowledge. I have so much to learn! But, thank you so much, dear!!

Ah this is gorgeous, the emotion on her face and her pose just capture perfectly her sadness- I love the subtle patterning on her dress, the shine of the tears helps them really stand out.

Aralyn. One of my favorite tragic characters. You did such a lovely job on her. I particularly like that pose. It conveys so much about the character.

Sarah, I can see how much you've been improving just in the last few months! It's so exciting, Keep up the good work.

She is one of my favorite tragic characters as well! I am so glad the pose turned out. I really wanted a pose that portrayed her pain and vulnerability. So, glad that people see that in the pose!

Thank you so much! It makes me very happy that you can see improvement! It is a huge encouraging to me! Thank you!!

The pose is beautiful and her dress is amazing! You did such a brilliant job with capturing the sadness she must feel, how awful! I feel so bad for her! Her face though is amazingly drawn, you did capture the emotion with both her expression and her body language. I also love the soft texture and the flowers!
