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!

She's glorious! Wonderful drapery and the look on her face is just fantastic. Kind of defiant, aloof and noble but cheeky and like she's about to do something sneaky!! <3

Thank you! I do love drawing Cottia, although still haven't figured out how to draw female mouths, argh.
