Alanna at Dawn

I really wish I could paint better... and that I had a better understanding of color. T_T

Here is Alanna, Lady Knight, aka King's Champion and Lioness of Tortall... a character by the wonderful Tamora Pierce. She's short and grumpy and ferocious and totally badass. And she's got purple magic!

I'm so sorry for not being around too much these past couple of weeks Working on music videos means 14 to 16 hour days, typically, and I get so beat up after even one day of that all I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep for a week... and I've been on a few music video shoots recently. I hope to spend a good many hours on dA soon to attend to all my duties here.

Inspired by ~Digi-M's breathtaking painting, which was featured on dA 2/24/11: I'm going to study this artist's painting technique, among others!
