This is Seleena Duskmantle, my half elf mage in Dragonlance tabletop RPG.

Before going through the test of High Sorcery she was a nice girl, very social, even though she never fitted a lot in human society because of her elven heritage. She also was very proud of her pretty elvish features...

But when she went through the test everything changed. One part of strong determination, another of naiveté and another of arrogance made her choose the most dangerous choices, to involve in her test in a way that wasn't healthy at all. She risked her own life many times, and she played with the lives of all her friends, losing them all in the deep of the oceans. She dared to defy Zeboim, the goddess of the seas. Because of that, she went through a Soulforge experience, and masters of High Sorcery gave her the "gift" of turning her skin pale and blueish like the skin of a drowned man.

Now she fakes being proud of the ressults of her test, while always regretting having played with the lives of her beloved ones and hating her new look... Even though she admits that she would have taken the same choices if she had to do it again (she thinks she didn't take the wrong choices, it's just that anything came out as planned XD).

She's still very social and friendly, even though now she takes advantage of her new look to be socially intimidating. People who used to be nice to her are now scared, so she had to change the way of treating people.

Even though, she's still an expert in manipulating people's minds, with or without magic.

I make jokes all the time about how much she's like a lich: she has a high charisma ability (16) even though she looks undead. Anyway, people ingame usually mistake her for an undead creature. A cleric of Mishakal tryed to rebuke her!

The picture was made with inks and coloring pencils... And I used one of my old pictures as a model just because at first I was just doing a quick sketch. When it turned out nice I decided to color it.

>< I'm stealing my own work! I'm going to report myself!

I took Seleena's surname from this card: [link]
That's why I translate it to Spanish as "Mantoscuro"( [link] ), even though it is not literal.

Jajajaja, traduzco (bueno, traducción libre)

Esta es Seleena Mantoscuro, mi maga semielfa de Dragonlance.

Antes de pasar la prueba de la Alta Hechicería era una chica simpática, muy sociable. Incluso aunque su sangre élfica hacía que no encajase muy bien en la sociedad humana, se las arreglaba para llevarse bien con todo el mundo. También estaba muy orgullosa de su belleza élfica.

Pero durante la prueba todo cambió. Una mezcla de arrogancia, inocencia y determinación la llevaron a tomar decisiones arriesgadas e implicarse en la prueba más de lo que sería saludable. Arriesgó su vida en varias ocasiones y jugó con las vidas de sus amigos, perdiéndolos a todos en la profundidad del océano. También se atrevió a desafiar a Zeboim, la diosa del mar. Todo eso hizo que los maestros de la alta hechicería la marcasen "regalándole" un aspecto que recordaba a la piel de un ahogado, para recordarle que desafiar a los dioses tiene un precio.

Ahora se finge orgullosa de sus resultados, aunque en secreto se arrepiente de lo sucedido y odia su nuevo aspecto. Eso sí, si tuviese que volver atrás tomaría las mismas decisiones. No cree haberse equivocado en eso, simplemente no le salió todo según lo planeado.

Aunque todavía sigue siendo sociable y amistosa, su nuevo aspecto hace que a menudo tenga que actuar de forma más intimidante que amistosa, ya que la gente la teme y cree que sería ridículo no aprovecharse de ello.

Es una experta en manipular mentes, tanto de forma mágica como no mágica.

Y no me apetece traducir más... eso viene siendo el personaje. No sé si conoces Dragonlance. Si no es así, si quieres te explico lo que no entiendas.

Busca un poco por internet, que hay sitios donde se pueden bajar los libros en PDF, todo es cuestión de encontrarlos.

Yo los tengo casi todos bajados de internet. Es más difícil encontrarlos en español que en inglés, pero haberlos hailos

Es magnífico.

Me encanta la expresión de su rostro, a medio camino entre inocencia y seducción y sus ojos son inmensamente expresivos. Ya decía yo que la pose me sonaba un poco XD Pero vamos, te ha quedado fantástico, hasta la ropa parece textura :P

She is very pretty XP

Though she looks more like she would be a vampire then a litch. Litches generally aren't so pretty.

I hate my track ball. . .

Me gusta. One of your better pieces, hands down.

I'm not necessarily a fan of the skin coloring, but other than that, it's slick. Especially the cloth texture and eye areas look very detailed and thought through, even in the eye placement is... yeah, ok, elf thing. Nevermind.

A tad more shadow under her chin would solidify the dimensional feel, being as it is the face seems just a bit flat where it connects with the neck, but it's a petty gri-... Actually, now looking at it some more, I think the neck in general is somewhat hazy. The veins (muscles, tendons, jibberjabbers, or whatever those are called) are a bit too solid in my opinion, and the texture there a bit too smooth, giving a feeling of a plastic tube, rather than a neck.

But, other than that area, then, it's a very solid pic, with - again - excellent cloth texturing and anatomy. Seriously, nice work.

peace
