Description

Okay, to start with, I never could have done this without using these two lovely ladies on Senshistock as a base:  saronai.deviantart.com/art/Sai… and Senshistock itself, of course, for providing one of many awesome stock photos with generous use rules: senshistock.deviantart.com/

I mean that 100% It made drawing my characters well, far more manageable.  Also, the almost smirk on Gida's model inspired this idea in the first place.  Everything was painted on by hand using paintshop pro...and a mouse >.>  I had an art board once, couldn't figure out how to use it.  Only a few other references used (such as a screenshot of both characters for colour reference.

This is my character, Gida, snuggling with her best friend and first/so far only love, Illumyn (a character of a friend of mine).

I would also like to thank Mattifemaule mattifemaule.deviantart.com/ for her tips and inspiring me through her own work to give edit-over artwork a more serious chance. She does awesome hair :3

Finally, Illumyn is a night elf priestess from the game, World of Warcraft (who retired from the game and wrote her off as sailing away for uncharted lands with her husband), leaving poor Gida a bit heart-broken, but determined to keep going on, and a bit relieved that Illumyn's life was finally looking happy.  Gida (Alasgida) is a human rogue from the game, World of Warcraft (but I also have versions of her in my original fiction and Lord of the Rings Online).  Obviously, this pictures them both from one of their happier moments together.

------------------

Since Illumyn is a NIGHT elf, afterall, I went ahead and made a night-time version here:  saronai.deviantart.com/art/Hil…
