Description Whee!!! Knots gallore! I think she needs a hair brush...

Her hair is really shiney in real life. Why haven't they invented a scanner that can scan gold paint yet?

Anyways, this is the Lady of Lindisfael. She is a sorceress character of mine. The one who guards the Hell Fire: An amulet which can give its wearer great and terrible power. Especially if that wearer is a dragon. So, only the pure of heart can wear it without suffering any ill effect.

Media: Technical pen, pencil crayon and gold paint.

Prints of this piece are up for sale in my Etsy shop: [link]

You can also find them up for auction here on Ebay: [link]

Ooohh very lovely, and all the knots.

Darn it they really do need to make scanners that can show gold paint.

She looks like something out of The Elder Scrolls IVL Oblivian.. probably because im obsessed with the game but meh.

Wonderful job on this. I would love to see the shineyness, cause im sure it would add alot to the already amazing detail.

Qiu-Ling In reply to yuuankichiro [2006-09-16 04:55:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Well, the gold paint just makes her hair seem to glow. It looks like there's actually sun shining on it or something. DANG IT! THE ORIGINAL JUST LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER! *kicks non-gold-paint-scanning scanner*

I really like the composition of this piece. The way the hair is woven through the border is very nice. I'm also very fond of the amount of the woven/knotted patterns.
