Cherishby `Saimain

Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

Faeren and the Mistress of Illusion, the embodiment of the Forest that shelters and imprisons him. She holds and guards him like a jealous lover while he sleeps, but during the day she appears to him only as a little golden-white creature. He calls her Snoots and considers her a pet, but I think perhaps the opposite is true...

I had to force myself to work on this slowly, 2-4 hours every couple days so I wouldn't torture my wrist. It's taken three weeks from start to finish, and I haven't ground so many pencils' guts onto paper since "Awakening"... Only Faeren can persuade me to devote so much time to foliage...and he does it every time. *sigh*

You can learn more about Faeren and "The Wars of Avenan" storyline here: [link]

I love her eyes, their so inviting

~MirandaDeLioncourt Sep 29, 2011 Hobbyist

Her hand gestures are suggesting that possesment of him. but his gentle hand resting on her coat shows he is ignorant of what she truly feels. her eyes are bold and saddened slightly. the slight part of her lips is so hypnotizing.. well done.
