Description WOOOO more Nano-related stuff. My Nano itself is, uh, rather behind though (possibly because I keep spending time I could be using to write it working on drawings like this.... <_< >_> )

This is Tiara. She likes fire.


2022 edit: I've now launched a webcomic of the story this drawing belongs to!! You can read Wychwood here: wychwoodcomic.com/

this is awesome!


Btw: I don't want to sound like an a**, but I thought I'd point out. Pyromancy (or someone who is a pyromancer) is actually the act of divination and/or religious acts and an equivalent of "fortune telling" using fire.

However it is often misslabeled and used in place of pyrokenesis (if I spelt that right), which is the control of fire.

just fyi

Hummm, interesting! I always sorta placed it as pyrokinesis being more of a soft sci-fi label (implying reasons that attempt to be sciencey) and pyromancy being more fantastical and associated with magic, but both labels fundamentally referring to the same power.

Not sure whether I'll change the title of this picture right away (I think it appears with this name in multiple places and I don't know if I feel like going into all of them with updates), but that is good to know for the future, especially when I get around to writing/drawing up the story this character and her power appears in. XD So thanks!

This looks really cool. The background contrast is really effective. Her pose is really nice too!

Thanks! The background took forever to make but I am super happy with it, all things considered.

Just spotted this randomly in my devwatch in one of the marker groups and also spotted the word 'NaNo'. Hello, fellow Wrimo! >8D

This looks amazing. I love the colour reflections of the fire on her clothes. ^^

This is awesome, Ally! The effect of layering the colors of the fire really makes it feel like she's engulfed in the stuff. Bravo.

Hot-diggidy! The colors are really flamin' 8D
Really love how the colors from the fire reflects on her and the rendering especially around the right forearm.

Thanks! :D

I kind of want to go back into some of the areas... parts of the figure got a little muddy from too much colour mixing :X This is one of the few (very few) cases where I actually like the surrounding/background elements of a picture almost MORE than the central figure XD

Thanks! C: Considering how tricky getting it all rendered up to the same level was (why are all my most ambitious projects done traditionally D8), I'm really pleased with it!
