A labor of love and sorta hate. This is a portfolio piece I've done for school as well as part of a pitch for a Bioware assignment in which we have to make concepts for a fake video game. I'm so glad to be done this image, even with its flaws. You can check out my process on my blog over at : [link]

My main beef (among MANY) with video games these days is the severe lack of strong female leads. At least half of the gamer population is made up of females and I find more and more there are fewer games that even attempt to cater directly to them. The best we can hope for that aims specifically at a female audience is RPGs out of Japan, which I'm sad to say, have been kind of sucking lately. SO, I wanted to make a strong female lead with a compelling plot, good character/emotional development and (what I would hope to be) engaging gameplay. /end rant

Hopefully I'll upload some more from this mock game, so you can get a better idea of what I mean.

Thanks to all my friends and classmates for helping me on this pic, and putting up with my constant nagging and bitching.

v a s i l i c a by `lone-momo. The Suggester said: "The energy in this image is absolutely fantastic. The rendering and attention to detail is breath taking!". I absolutely agree. This gorgeous piece gives off an enigmatic yet powerful aura I adore. The scene, character design and motion effect are just impressive.

Have i commented on this? i don't know, if i have then you get two comments. i'm not a gamer but i would be intrigued by a game with a sweet as hell herd of death-elks controlled by amazing forest lady. Or i would at least look at fanart of it like i already do with TF2.

Gorgeous, gorgeous work. Beautiful details and ambiance, and you did a good job of making her the focal point without putting her in the foreground of the image.

I don't quite agree with you (and I'm female), but more importantly this looks really amazing. Not sure how riding a stag would be doable in a game but I'd love to see it. Would love to have this as a print too.

I like the sense of motion i get when I look at this piece. You immediately hear hooves stomping and chaos ensues........... I really dig your character style as well as the atmosphere. This one has it ALL!!!
