Description This is Sakaki, from the fanfics of Kimberly T. If the name seems familar, Kimberly has graciously allowed me to incorporate some of her characters from HER series of Ishimura gargfics into mine. In Kimberly's stories, Sakaki is the mate of Kai, leader of the Ishimura clan and she also the head rookery keeper.

In my stories, we learn that she and Kirin trained together as junior teachers in the rookery and are good friends. Kirin considers her to be one of the few females that he can trust because she stood by him when things were at their darkest for him.

Sakaki is described as having the same serene features as Mary, the Catholic madonna. I found a great picture in my North Park catalogue of a model with very much the same features and that was the reference for this picture. I'm probably way off on the ears because I couldn't remember what kind Sakaki had but I liked the idea of making them like a fan.

She kind of makes me think of the offspring of Elisa and Goliath. All and all I really do like the picture.

Oooh, that explains a lot. *nods to herself* I love how you did this--the extreme realism of her face really brings forth the concept of Gargoyles existing (aka sometimes people create gargoyles with a fantastic image in mind. So fantastic that it feels that it is unlikely they would exist in real life. But she would fit right in. ^__^). She has very soothing features, and the skin tone you used has a very calming, happy effect. Nice choice of color scheme, light versus dark contrast, and an excellent job on the realism.
By the way, did you use pastels on this?

...my art chest is woefully empty. Perhaps I'll take myself down the street to my local art store. *whistles innocently* Thank you!
