Description Whoa Nelly it's something that's not ponies!

It's actually an OC of mine (not connected to any fandom) named Gondul. Some of you may actually remember her from my piece "At Home In Niflheim" [link] . Her backstory and such can be found in the description of that piece if you're at all curious.

I actually did this last semester for a drawing class and never got around to photographing it until now. Drawn with pen and ink and added color using gouache. I like Gouache and lot. You'll probably be seeing more of it in the future.

I don't get to see the word 'gouache' thrown around nearly often enough. Bonus points for that.

Really nice, clean work. Especially her armor and clothes. The slope of her left shoulder (well, the shoulder on the left) weirds me out, though.

Yay, friend of gouache! I love gouache so much.

And you are right about that shoulder. It is a rather extreme drop off.

Thank you! Gondul's always hangin' around. She's one of those characters that's always there but doesn't complain if she doesn't get attention. She's very dependable.

Your shading technique is really great. You don't use offensive amounts of shadows, but just enough contours to give models realistic depth. Keep up the fantastic work!

More hands! I mean humans. Yeah.
Love what you did with the feathery/fuzzy shoulder-piece.
Also the fold lines in the cape and waist thingy look really good!
I've always liked drawing armor bits.

Hands/humans are awesome! And so is armor. Every now and then it works out the way I want it to.
