Description This is a quick portrait of Caitachal, my character in GemStone 4, a MUD I'm currently playing. She's an empath, which is a healer that cures patients by transferring their wounds onto themselves and using magics to regenerate their own bodies. She's also an Aelotoi, a race of humanoids with vestigial wings.

She's actually all white (unintentionally like my other MUD character, Jacinthe), but I decided to do the picture in a different palette, one that maybe highlights the pain empaths deal with on a day to day basis.

It's been awhile... O.o
100% Photoshop.

That's gorgeous, and it looked like an oil painting when I hadn't yet seen the part that said "100% photoshop." I'm absolutely amazed at your skill.

How beautiful... I don't know what MUD is and I'm not familiar with "empaths," but it's still a very relateable and understandable pic = 3 Gotta love the colors and how clearly her feelings come across ^^

ok, I simply cannot get over this pose. It's gorgeous.

The painting over all is amazing, don't get me wrong. I just can't stop staring at her lines. (Not so much in a perverted sense)

How lovely! The way you made the aelotoi look is exactly how I would see them! I have a few characters in GS, no aelotoi though. Amazing job!

JessicaMDouglas [2005-12-22 19:18:32 +0000 UTC]

*chuckles* the nice thing about all white characters is that they tend to pick up and reflect whatever colors they're around. You've done a *wonderful* job of giving the impression that she's still a pale little thing, just in a very dark place. This is really quite lovely.

No way! You have got to be kidding! ALL digital! It look like it could be chalk, or something similar maybe. GEEZ! So you DREW it on the pc too? O.O *bows in awe*

Gonna hafta agree. It really stinks when someone comes in with a missing limb, like a leg, and you fall to the ground writhing in agony. Ouchies indeed.

ks-claw In reply to Jacinthe [2005-09-01 21:31:36 +0000 UTC]

I think I'll stick to my own healer-character. The rules there are, that if you misuse your gift (ie to kill someone for example), you turn into a creature called a Katbeast and stay like that for a while.. and thats for female healers oO;
