Description Probably that's the last illustration of the year.

Title: “Morena me llaman”

Here's one more illustration which is part of my fantasy project called “The 7 Ancients”. This is Alia, a character from which I've already done a concept before ( fav.me/d99l8pl). In a short resume, she's a noble of a mix of blood: part of her is astori (for understanding, they are a kind of people from the Mediterranean), and the other part is half tarmude (a people based in a mixture between ottomans and moors). So, this noblewoman lived in some lands from the old Empire of Arioka when she felt in love for a young prince who came from distant lands. This prince, called Beal, talked to her about the beauties of his land, now occupied by the Empire.

Soon, in Alia the astori blood spoke higher and so, she fled with him to later form a resistance army to drive off the invaders from the so spoken lands. She was so brave and fierce in combat that the Ariok soldiers fled from the fields when they saw her. Finally, with her husband, she became the first queen of the new kingdom of Alliah (name given by Beal to his beloved queen), and together they lived in mount Faras where the city of the same name grew from the top of it (there's and old painting of it: ( fav.me/d6ffh7r), and became the capital of kings and queens of this kingdom.

This is what will come for 2016: illustrations and more text about it, for I intend to finally create the website with the stories from the many parts of this world. Also, in 2016 I'll create some artbooks about the project.

Last but not least: the title and even the story is a little bit based on the sephardic song: Morena me llaman - www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0xmJk… (hear it, it's beautiful )
