TSD - Seventeen

Returning to the Black Pub with an arm full of meat she found next to the shop that sold cauldrons, Selena stumbled onto the lot and threw the meat down on the ground beside Thor. Unfortunately, even though she found a merchant who sold books, she didn't have enough strength to carry both the meat and books. The creatures Thor hunted in the Black Bog Forest became scarce so she had to help in purchasing a vast quantity of meat for him.

Instead, she sat near the tree in the front while Thor gobbled up his breakfast. His lips were the color of red from

TSD - Sixteen

The next morning, Selena tied the laces to her leather boots in her room. She wanted to head on into town to see if she could buy Thor a few pounds of meat for at least breakfast. Rahim gave her a gold coin, which was enough to buy what she needed. Unfortunately, the economic depression took a major toll on the citizens of Armageddon, so the gold coin wasn't worth as much. The prices of the merchandise were greatly reduced, but so were the values of the coins to where the copper pieces were hardly of any worth.

Like the day before, the streets were crowded to where Selena felt as though she were in a maze, dodging everyone. T

The Grand Exchange began when Helshire Village ended; a place of different races, including elves, dwarves, and humans. They found the Grand Exchange a place where they could exchange goods with one another from the different kingdoms.

When they arrived to the Grand Exchange, Selena was paralyzed in shock at the blitz of noise, music, colors, and people. Everywhere she turned, she saw people with their businesses, and selling whatever elaborate merchandise was for sale. Carts upon carts filled with precious products were rolling up the cobblestone road and asking whoever passed by if they wanted to buy. An elderly woman with ma

     Twilight seemed calm and peaceful in comparison to the depressing gray of day.  The vibrant trails of color follow the sun across the sky.  Soon the black clouds of the coming storm came from the north, covering the setting sun.

     Thunder echoed through the sky.  The world comprised of nothing but shadow and gray.  The sound of galloping horses filled the air.  A black raven flew overhead, coming from Chaliss's house, following a group of four horse riders as they headed for Helshire Village.  A sense of gloom lingered over their presence as they made their way towards the town's limits.

     The black raven flew to the nearest wo

Digging through her dresser drawers, Selena grabbed her clothes and set them on her bed next to a large sack and her cloak. She heard Rahim panting down the hallway as he opened up the door to her room.

"What are you doing?" he asked. "Have you gone mad?"

Selena didn't look up at him; tears flushed down her face as she kicked the side of her dresser when she retrieved all of the clothes that she wanted.

"I'm leaving," she hiccupped. "I can't stay here anymore. I'm not going to let them kill Thor!"

Rahim's expression changed. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I would probably do the same thing if it were me."

"Come on, we need to hurry!" Rahim grabbed Selena down the hallway. He came bursting through her door about a few moments ago while she was trying to find a few good books to read to Thor. At this point, however, Selena had grown used to being dragged by Rahim into his mischief. "Mum already has the room prepared! Vidar Helios is coming!"

He led the way up the stairs and down the hallway to the empty guest bedroom that Chaliss had prepared for a few guests who were soon to arrive.

Rahim opened the door. A long, wooden table prepared with food and wine sat in the middle of the room with four chairs. The dishes and silver

Selena - Surfing on Dragonsby *XRosewaterX

Digital Art / Drawings / Fantasy

_{Oh my gosh, I hate painting water! I suck at painting water! DX I'm sorry if this turned out like crap, but I really tried! The dragons didn't turn out as good as I wanted them too, but I still tried -_-'

This is a digital painting that I did of my original character Selena Ayladail (now Selena Altessa, the wife of Silver Altessa) surfing on the backs of water dragons. I was inspired by the piece that did (here's the link: [link] ). I sent a note to this deviant and is fine with it, just as long as I gave credit . This could have turned out a lot better. Perhaps when I get the chance, I can edit it later.

Selena recently learned how to summon water dragons and she's been trying to loosen up and have fun. She's also know a shapeshifter like her husband, Silver Altessa. I noticed that she looks too much like Katara from Avatar o.0

UPDATE: I JUST FIXED THIS UP IN PHOTOSHOP AND I THINK IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT IT ORIGNALLY WAS >w< I coloured in her hair, did the details and highlights, I blended in the shadows on her skin, added some highlights to her eyes, and I fixed up the water dragons... Phew! I hope that it looks much better now! ^^:

UPDATE 2: I saw a little part in her outfit that was a little funky and messed up that I just fixed. >.>' I also put a watermark on it too.}

I really really really really really love this art. It is so so so so so so so so so so beautiful! It is all because of the blue shade. Selena's shirt is so so cute!

And you really really really really really really really really really really really really know what? Girl, I love the dragons. They are so so so so so so very cute!

Oh, and by the way, I love the rings on the foot. They are like the Double rings. And seriously, I love, love the waves. They're so cool. What an artist you are!

What do you think?

The water and water dragons came out wonderfully!

Her anatomy looks unfinished and flat. Face and armpit are very one demential.

The head and neck seem to be off a bit, taking the jaw line down just a hair might make the neck/head look more natural.

The coloring is lovely, you really hit the on the mark. I also think her pose is very fitting.

Must have been a lot of hard work. All together you did a great job, just focus on anatomy for next time and you will have another master piece like this.
(I truly do adore this piece)
