Description
This is my half- sorry it's so bland for a background, but Elihal's wish is:"Her dream is to become the personal standard-bearer to the Lord-Commander (the leader of the Army, one of the most powerful men in the country). It is an honor to bear his standard during a triumph, which is given only to those who have proven themselves on the battlefield. She'd be the first non-mage to become the Lord-Commander's standard bearer, too, and she wishes to prove to herself as well as to others that non-mages can also be worthy of such glory. "
I wish you could actually see the gold bits glisten (they've got glitter ink).
I based the image after a battle of sorts, so there is a little bit of blood on the uniforms, but not too much because I feel that would've ruined the entire image...
I can't really think of any key points I need to cover on this, but I do know I need to practice on certain aspects of sunsets, haha!

Lovely depiction of Elihal's wish! I like her pose a lot and that you chose to depicts other warriors behind them (even that poor wounded guy), and that flag looks wonderful. Such a cool detail about the glimmering gold

That facial expression :3 Also, love the armor. I have to admit, I'm a sucker for simple, practical armor designs. This one looks like it might be fun to draw myself some time. And I LOVE the flag! The way you've got it down is awesome.

Haha, I'm glad you enjoy it! Armor is just so useful- it's a good way to show rich, but only if it be a fool who go to war! The flag was a sonofa---- again though thank you!!!!

Is it just me or does she look like she just finisged killing someone and really enjoyed it. Oh well she does look happy though. I like the intersting idea of her being a standard bearer. Don't see many taking that up such an honor. Very well done my friend.

Thank you so very much for depicting Elihal's wish in such a lovely manner! 
She looks so happy and proud - you translated her beautifully in your style! - her posture really is one of confidence and victory, and I love how you drew the banner fluttering behind her. It really draws my attention to her face, which is bright and open with joy. The tiny details - like her small bow, the metal links of the chainmail, the blood on her armor, (THE PEOPLE RALLIED IN THE BACKGROUND), the type of swords they carry, and the stitchings of the banner - make this piece a delight to look at, there's always something small and new to see.
Your coloring is so vibrant too! 
Thank you for your wonderful piece!

You're very welcome, m'dear! (You're fine as you see I'm even later than some!!)
I'm very glad you enjoyed each aspect I gave to it-- Elihal seemed like a special character so I wanted to show it in her pose as well as the background (as I aimed for a rising sun meaning a new beginning for non-mages). Small details will always bring a piece to being a sweet treat, as that is why those are there.
I did use alcohol markers, but I've learned a secret technique for quick ink-work (if it's available to you or anyone)! I did the drawing and rough sketch on plain printer paper and then did line work and touched up what parts I wanted to. Afterwards I scanned it on my copier/printer, on which it printed over to a sheet of cardstock. My alcohol markers would bleed all over the place if I used them on regular paper, which is why I needed to use cardstock. But I did use some microns to add in smaller detailing such as the stitching on the flag!
I'm so pleased you loved it! Elihal was a thrill to draw and bring to life!

I do love that glitter. It adds just a little extra punch.

Glad to hear it, I wanted it to look more metallic so I added gleams and use actual ink that had the glitter in it! I'm pleased everyone is enjoying it.

What a great dream! She wants to prove herself and all all non-mages while she's at it, by bearing the standard wow! She's so legit! You did a great job, she looks so happy and the banner is beautiful!

Thank you very much! I'm still trying to practice more and more dynamic posing as well as playing with my alcohol markers! I was having issues at first with how to pose her to get the right emotional feel!

I think you pulled it off quite well! And alcohol markers are the best, and so much fun to work with!

Haha thanks! And so far the collection grows as does my skill!! >:3

So cool, dynamic pose! She's clearly a serious warrior (full protective garment!) but at same time you succeded to show that she's a woman in cheerful mood. You performed well with anatomy and colors. Glittery touches are lovely icing!

Thanks so much!!! I wasn't quite sure how to convey her emotion as well as make her still look strong!
And awesome icing it is!!!!

This is wonderfully done! I really like the glittery touches and she looks so happy!

Thank you! I tried to make the metal look more metallic than what it was showing up as originally!!
And happy was the aim!

You were very good at conveying the elation of Elihal. And the details look very nice, I looked at the drawing with pleasure. Steep work!

Haha thanks! I was afraid it wouldn't look as good as I usually do (where it's more traditionally drawn)
