Chrysalea Metalmark

Wacom Intuos 9×12, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

This picture is a prize commission all the way back from the “Trappings for Tex Tornado” contest. I have put it off too long, but I bet Christina thinks that’s okay, based on the level of detail I put into my pictures now as opposed to when she won it.

The daughter of sculptor Aurelian Metalmark, Chrysalea was the resident druid of the Lightforge guild, as well as holding the distinction of being Hazdar Stoneclamber’s girlfriend.

At an approximate eight hours of drawing time, by my new commission standard for a full-color 500×500 piece, this piece cost me five dollars an hour to produce. If you think that’s a bargain, I recommend you seize it, because who knows when my prices will increase again!
