She's so fancy :) Maraea is the perfect character to do fancy outfits on. I am thrilled to see you do another character, and it is really awesome that Gossamar/Maraea commissioned it from you. Really really nice! I am happy on so many levels; for you to show off your skill, for Maraea to get a custom image done, for Steamhawke to show that character art can be a worthwhile replacement for images of actors; Just awesome :)

I love to do both types of character design, the fancy and the plain (god knows I have enough of both xD) but something about the fancy is fun to just go "oh do they really need gold pattern on the boots? I think YES!" when usually I'm trying to keep it more grungy and real.

I think that actors are always a great place to start, because it also gives me something to go on, (as the actress's face was referenced for this drawing) but as you say it's always fun to then transform the actor into the character properly.

The face is amazing, Fifi.  Je t'aime beaucoup.

I love how you portrayed her!
