+ Fortitude +

Whoaaaa!
I can't believe I finally finished it! I've been working on this illustration for ages, as I'm very busy with my job! D:

BTW, I really like the way it come out, though is very far to be perfect, expecially about anatomy and lights... ;__;

I absolutely have to thank the wonderful friends who helped me with their precious suggestions and tips in doing this illustration, in this "WIP Journal" => [link] (Take a look here if you want to know how I did it! )
THANK YOU ALL!!!

A little information about this illustration:
She's my OC Ria Oronar, the main character of the novel I'm writing (... from ages... ). This is not her normal outfit, but this is a "symbolic" version of her, represented as "Fortitude" (one of the tarot's major arcana). Some elements are related to her story: the fire energy from her hand (she is a Druid and her congenial element is fire) and the dragon (this is the "key" of the entire novel... u.u) and then the sword and helmet, to represent somehow her courage and inner strenght.

I don't think this needs a mature content on... So for the moment I don't put it... But I don't know!


I entirely painted it with photoshop CS5 and my Wacom Cintiq.

Closeup: coming soon!

Comments and suggestions are always very welcome!
