Out of the night...
The most correct, accurate depiction of Jayli thus far. I thought it was about time I posted this... I originally started with a simple sketch for practice, with the pose referenced from Heise, and then it just went from there...
~10 hours. Painted in Adobe PhotoShop, text made in Adobe Illustrator. 20.

Nice work. Like how you put a light reflection in her hair and on her shoulder. The fur collar also has a really good appearance to it. Heheh everything she is wearing has a really smooth comfortable look to it. Great detail, can almost imagine the texture/feel of many of the things just by looking.
What the symbol on her arm stand for?

Mm, thank you very much :)
The symbol means "guardian" - she was essentially branded with it when she was a child, as she was intended to be the spearhead warrior meant to end a century-long war. However, she fled, and the term was applied in various ways in the lore about her persona - guardian of the powerful magic she has, guardian of the lost world she has access to, etc. Later, when one side of the war took a dark turn and started practicing genocide as a means of ending the war, she took up arms at this point and the symbol became applied to guardian of the people.

Ahhh, very interesting. Is this picture in any way a self portrait? Know artists tend to put features of themselves into their art, intentionally and unintentionally, at times, and noticed a lot of pictures that have a cartoony version of yourself in them show you with dark hair. Was just curious if that was the case, on any level?
Not a self portrait, but I know very well Jayli and I mirror each others in many ways. It's sort of complicated, but... I consider her a kind of guardian spirit, a sort of teacher. I've known her lifestory since I was about twelve, and recently events in her life have happened in mine - I always had a feeling like she was trying to show me something, or teach me something, or prepare me for something, and I always felt like "something like that might happen to me" but I never understood where that feeling came from. Anyway, it happened. Sounds rather strange, but there you have it - we overlap in many ways, but are our own different personas, very much so. It's just that we work together in our shared similarities, that's how we communicate and understand one another.
Ahh that’s pretty interesting. I think there are a lot of value to be found in places most people don’t try to look, also if you can get past refusing to believe in anything you cant fully understand. I know I have learned a lot about myself through dreams and strange events in my life. I always try and keep an open mind on things, since science is constantly developing and refuting anything that doesn’t fit within its grounds makes you no different than the people who refused to believe the world could actually not be flat back in the day. Enjoy the fact that there is so much background to many of your pictures (sometimes obvious sometimes not as in this one). Art seems to have more emotion in it if its being drawn to portray something in the artists life than if its just being drawn for the sake of making something new.
