first of all, ladies and gentlemen, witness the happy of pngs. ah, alpha transparency. what can't you make look cool?
the reason for this is that this picture is 100% digital. no trees were used in the making of this, not even the lineart. instead I used my favourite triumvirate of graphics programs, paint shop pro 7(initial sketch, text and final png-save), photoshop(clean lineart) and opencanvas(colour). hurray for them.

anyway, this is lenaidel. she's my most recent new furcadia character, although I haven't played her much yet. you may notice she bears many similarities with lukah(long hair trailing over face, soulful expression, plain brown peasant clothes, single crude piece of jewelry - that's a copper/bronze torc, not a croissant...), but she has nothing to do with lukah. just a coincidence and further fuel to my 'I HAVE NO IMAGINATION YEAARGH' moments. oh well.
lenaidel's schizophrenic. she hears and sees things that aren't there and has difficulty focusing on the real world, which makes her interesting to play. and very useful for sparking rp, at that. otherwise, she has no story as such. la.
