Description This has been sitting on my computer since late 2008, done for an illustration class...never quite finished it, but probably never will. Decided to upload it after having been yelled at for the millionth time by a friend for not uploading it.

The character Alanna in a scene from "The Woman Who Rides Like a Man" in the Lioness Quartet series by Tamora Pierce.

Reminds me of the The Blue Sword's cover. Love Tamora Pierce! Looks fantastic for being "unfinished".

This is a very nice piece! I'm actually just struggling through the end of this series; my sister's friend lent it to me, and I don't want to disappoint her by not finishing it, but it's just not my type of book

Still, excellent work!

Thank you very much!

I'm usually not a fantasy fan, but this series was a fun quick read for me. The Alanna series was the authors first, and her story telling definitely improves as it goes along :3

Yeah, just the other day I finally picked up the last book again to work on finishing it because I'd put it down for a month or so and my friend probably wants it back soon

I like it. The composition and the flow of this is astounding, but I daresay that horse looks happier than any horse has a right to be. I'm forced to assume that there is a giant cake just the right of all the commotion.

I'm glad you do! It's always interesting to see different people's take on book characters, because everyone imagines something slightly different.
