Description
Thanks for commission me! (Although I’m a bit surprise, because this girl is my OC, one of my sketch on my tumblr)
But I think…as I’ve already finished her full body picture. I think I should write her information here, as note—or some shit, please forgive me for grammar errors here lol
-------------------------
Name: Leilan Holigate
Age: 20
Favorite foods: Anything she can eat
Least favorite food: Dish with no meat in it
Leilan is living with her father and her younger brother in a largest manor in the town (of course it can’t be compared to the castle next to it though). She’s cheerful, energetic and also a trolling young woman who obviously loves to troll people around her. Even though she has this trolling personality but she also has a caring side for everyone around her.
She used to be so mischievous when she was a little girl, often messing with her little brother (and, kind of pseudo-traumatized him with her cooking, as she always add dishwashing liquid into his food…very small amount though…) but as she grows up, her mischievous nature was soften a lot (yeah, already a lot) but she still loves to teasing and trolling people around her anyway.
Her biggest dream is to be one of the royal guards in the castle—actually, to be the leader of the squad like her mother when her mother was still alive, but it is unfortunate of her as the royal guards had changed their rules and one of them is kind of forbid the woman to be the leader (as many of the high-position-royal-guards were against her mother being the leader before) that’s make her effort become a waste, but as she is always cheerful and always viewing things positively, she continues training and strengthen herself every day, hoping the current leader will notices her efforts. The current leader is actually wants her to be the next leader but he can’t do that because a lot of other high-position-royal-guards are against it, the only option he can helps her is— suggests her to train more on her magic, as she is very bad at it. Telling her that might help her in the future, and yes, she attends to magic school because of his advice. She has very bad grade for someone who has a father who is the strongest magician in the world though…
She inherited her mother’s most powerful items, the magic scarf and the Weapon Tome. The magic scarf is able to protect her from physical attack (irony its name is ‘Magic’ scarf though…) nothing can pierce through it, and also able to shapeshifting, for example; from a short scarf to very long scarf, or from scarf to dress, with the base color of pink. The Weapon Tome is a magic book that is use for summoning weapons, all kind of weapons, swords, axes, staffs, or bows for example. The staff she holding in the picture is also one of them. Actually she’s very bad at magic to the point she can’t use it to attack someone but this staff is simply amplified her initial elemental magic (in this case, ice magic) to a larger amount of power, this is why she can uses it as what you can see in the picture (normally, creating an ice cube is really hard for her lol)
(I want to explain the whole story, but it’d be too long so I’ll skip it here lol)

Nice, your OC Leilan Holigate is so cool! You did an excellent job drawing her in this complicated pose.
I had a lot of fun reading her character biography.
It's ironic too that the Weapon Tome is a "magic" book that summons physical weapons. The staff amplifies her magical powers, and the red and silver sword looks very powerful indeed.
I like the whole design of Leilan and the clothes that she is wearing. And I didn't know that the simple long scarf that she is wearing can protect her from physical attacks and shapeshift itself into any form of garment to aid Leilan.
Another one of Hideyo's strong yet attractive females.
Thanks again for your work on this commission, and I hope that you had fun drawing one of your OCs!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
And, yes, Weapon Tome is indeed a "magic" book lol, but it is merely just a "weapon storage" so it is using less magic power to summon/storing weapon in the special dimension the book created, comparing to the other types of magic book (this book was created for warrior to collect/storing his/her weapons while travelling after all)
At first I want to make her able to changing outfits while fighting and different outfits would give her completely different effect (similar to FFX-2 job system where Yuna and the rest changing outfit while battling), but I dropped that idea because it would give her kinda "jack-of-all-trades" feeling and might ruins her strong-female-aura lol (because, if she is able to changing outfit around as in FFX-2 job system, it'd like forced her to have at least one mage outfit and that doesn't fit her at all) but that scarf is still able to change into any kind of outfit, Leilan just doesn't do changing the scarf into other outfits that often because she was just too lazy (but she does use it to change into her more feminine dress, just to go to school and to attend some high-class party lol)
And, lol, dunno, I just don't like feminine girl that much (in term of personalities) I just noticed now that my novel rarely have sweet and gentle girls but instead have these violence girls! (lol) Leilan's mother and aunt are strong and independence (her aunt even have six-pack abs lol), I even have that one female character who was once a soldier and even mastered in martial art, but later lost both of her legs and become the type of "buffing" mage (please think of her casting Haste or Protect spells lol), she later got prosthesis (I don't know if I got the word right...) and become the ultimate wizard who use buffing spells on herself and use her kicking skill to fight. I don't know---I just always create this kind of girl lol!
Oops, sorry I have blabbering here again! Thanks again for commission me!

Ah, thanks for explaining the Weapon Tome to me. You know how in Final Fantasy games you can carry like 99 potions and multiple suits of armor and somehow carry it all and have infinite space for storing weapons, armor, and items? The characters can carry so many items, regardless of their weight or volume. One of the many terms for this concept is "Hammerspace" or "Magic Satchel": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersp… and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_sa….
Kind of like how in a cartoon a character puts his/her hands behind his/her body and pulls out an item out of thin air. These two concepts remind me of the dimension that the Weapon Tome uses.
I understand how changing outfits would ruin her "kickass" female personality. It does help, though, to have just regular everyday clothes (not battle clothes) to go to school and parties.
I just love strong female characters who shatter stereotypes and are warriors, but they can still have a sense of attractiveness to them, like Agrias. A female soldier who mastered the martial arts? Cool! Yeah, you got the word right. Prosthesis is singular, and prostheses is plural. So, if both of her legs are prosthetic legs, she would have 2 prostheses (I constantly get confused too with the English language and always am looking at my dictionary, LOL). Well, with those buffing spells and prosthetic legs for kicking, she must be really tough!
Don't worry, it was interesting reading your story here.
You're welcome, and I always look forward to doing future commissions with you.
