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!
**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 ) 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.
Ooh, ta, I'll try and re-upload it as a .png ... 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 Well, that's my excuse. But I see their point ... I think

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Oh, and did the tarot cards project go down well?
