Art: Maidinn [Eagle of the Ninth]

[motetus]

Art for the third round of the ninth_eagle fanmedia challenge! I must admit I was severely lacking in inspiration for this round (I think having lots of Things With Deadlines and panicking about finishing everything in time tends to sap it), hence this extremely uncreative drawing of a post-book, late teenage Cottia... and some pottery. I rather like how the lighting and skin colours came out, but everything below Cottia's neck is more heavily referenced than I prefer, which I thought I should point out before you all admire the pretty lighting on those folds. Ah well, perhaps the final prompts will give me delightfully ridiculous ideas!

I must confess that I was hoping someone would do a Cottia-related piece with that prompt. I love this rendition of her and the lighting is perfect. It looks like early morning to me, and like she's just woken up.

I think you have passed the test, although you will probably never want to eat garum again. ;)

Haha, glad you didn't get disappointed, then! I hope more people write Cottia fic for the challenge, because Cottia = <3 <3 <3

Actually, now you've mentioned garum I'm craving something with lots of delicious salty fish sauce...
