Artist's Comments

Just to show I'm not dead. It's just a quickie of a Celtic character, Tam Lyn, a Changeling swapped for Evan's sister. She used to be Eleri Wyn, but I decided to rename her in homage to the story of Tam Lin, and after my friend, Tamlyn. Yay for continuity! :D

**EDIT** Well, she needed a rehash - purely because I struggled before with the torn-edge background merging with the DA background. (And then they went and changed the colour scheme by a miniscule amount so it was off :roll:) So anyway, I wanted to tie this piece in with the other character drawings, so here she is again. I'm not totally satisfied, but I did have fun playing with layers. And I didn't want something wishy-washy. I wanted something a little more vibrant for once :)

hm, well I think if all outside those edges are transparent, then you just need to save it as a .png file rather than a jpeg. I think!

Nicely done! though I think the unshaded part of the nose needs a bit more definition. It'd be interesting to see a coloured picture of yours in this style.

Oh, and did the tarot cards project go down well?
:icondegare:
Ooh, ta, I'll try and re-upload it as a .png :D ... Damn this technical jargon! I'll proabably have another crack at her nose later.

One day I'll do coloured pictures, honest! ^^; When I pluck up the courage.

The Tarot went quite well, actually. Got a 2:1 (a high 2nd, basically). The Tutors said things like it was a bit too dark, that the backgrounds sometimes distracted from the characters, and that the border was too much. Oh, and apparantly I could've got a higher grade if I'd attended more tutorials - which are just mindless discussions with the tutor where I ask for help and advice and they shrug their shoulders and bemoan that the pub hasn't opened yet. It eats time that I could be using to actually WORK, so admittedly I don't go a lot. Plus it costs me £6 to get into college everyday :roll: Well, that's my excuse. But I see their point ... I think :)

PS - Woo-hoo! I did it ... kinda. It wasn't a .png, I just cheated and decided to colour in the area the same as that damned Deviant-green. Jammy :D

sorry about the edges, but this really is cool! I love her expression! You are still an awesome drawer! :D

No straight border for me! I can see the background behind it :)
This is pretty. I shall fave it! I love her name too.
