Description "Princess Atherial"
April 14th, 2009
Watercolors, india ink, gold ink


Hooray! I finally have the time to draw again! Yeah...I should probably start on my ridiculous amount of AP U.S. history homework but I feel like drawing for most of my vacation. Bad procrastinator me.

Anywho, this is a picture of one of the major characters of my story ([link] ): Princess Atherial. I think I'm going to change her name but that's what it is for now. When I came up with it I didn't even realize that it was too much like "ethereal" until later. Ah well. This is a *very* old picture that was supposed to be of her but then ended up not looking very much like her: [link]

In my story she is betrothed to Emperor Calthonan III ([link] ) as a political alliance between their two nations. She pretty much hates him in the beginning since she sees him as the cause of most of her troubled life (which is very true, he is. But it's not his fault. ) If I was drawing her as she looks for most of the time, she would be depressed, angry and angsty. I don't know why I depicted her like a blissful Disney princess. lol. Oh well. She becomes happier later.

Her culture is influenced heavily by the ancient Persian and Indian civilizations. Her dress and her symbols are all depictions of the lotus blossom. So I've dubbed this dress of hers "the lotus dress" (Unfortunately, like Arwen, she has an infinite amount of extravagent dresses that are all equally fun to draw. )

This is positively gorgeous, and I'm in awe of all the details! The design and composition are wonderful, and I certainly can see the Indian influence. I really like the use of color, in that there are SO MANY...but it doesn't look messy or uncomplimentary. The repetition of pale pink probably helps that a lot...great work!

WHY THANK YOU!!! I really enjoyed designing the dress--indulging in my feminine creativity if you will. The colors were a lot of fun to throw in there with all of the little ornaments and patterns to boot. All in all, I very much enjoyed making this. I should make more pretty dress pictures.

wow, this is totally amazing. do you do commission work? if you do, would you be so kind as to draw me as a knight? there are pictures of me all throughout my gallery. i drew myself as a knight, but i think i was wearing a helmet in it.

Theophilia In reply to zionprime [2009-04-16 22:42:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

Well, I don't do commissions, but I do do requests. In fact, if you've seen my journal I'm taking requests now for pictures for anyone who wants them. So you asked at the perfect time! I added your request to my journal. I'll update it when I've finished pictures.

So is this what you were kind of thinking of: [link] and [link]

Oh, and this would help me a lot. Could you send me a note? That way if I forget what you wanted in particular I can go back to my Note section and I won't have to go rifling throughout my whole gallery looking for this comment.

Okay, so here's some additional helpful information I'll need from you: first, what style armor do you want? Quasi-medieval? Norman? Crusader? 15th century European kinght armor?, etc, etc.

And if you could provide me with a picture from your gallery of your face that you like the best and I can use (I'm probably going to go for a frontal view, so you can keep that in mind. ) for a reference for your picture that'd be really helpful.
