Description [link] <--- some of her story.

Basics:
She ran from home with an elf that called her Song Bird, freeing herself from the terrible bonds of a marriage for political reasons. They traveled swiftly to keep her from being caught by her mother's guard (for her mother was the queen of the elves...). Just on the other side of the forest's edge, she happened upon this body with a blue sword in it's grip.

Now a century later, her once golden eyes were strikingly blue, and the elf that rescued her supposedly dead. She is married to a noble elf in a rich port down.

While her husband does not bother keeping her company, the sword does.. It talks to her, slowly corrupting her away from the light of goodness, planning to use her to feed itself on mortal life and in the end be rid of her for a new owner.

She's determined to find a way to rid herself of the sword. It cannot be broken, or left behind. Every time she had tried in the last century, she would find it on her door step the next morning.

Wonderful story. The glove is amazing, I think it's the best part of the picture.

Why not leave it on the doorstep then? Or how about selling it over and over, should prove a good affair

Those scars look painful. Anyway, it doesn't say so I'll assume this is made with photoshop or something. Looks rather 'painted' for having used photoshop (again, just guessing). Many chase that painted look. I did, until I got fed up with Painter 8.1.. today.. bwhaha

This is a sweet, simple, but very interresting portrait. Quite cold, still soft. I like this balance very much.
