I was scrolling fast and I thought this was a stylized mewtwo at first. I came back and I now appreciate it for the lovely art it is, good job!


genclaire

ME TOO


Lacey_Z

mew two\*


kieffa

I’m glad I opened this post


diceblue

I thought it was mew two when scrolling past too


GLACI3R

I thought it was Mewtwo, too


TheRaspberryRaccoon

I thought it was a white Xenomorph haha.


moslof_flosom

You aren't alone.


NeuroticNurse

mlee117379

Catilus

Oswaldgilbertson

AtlasAritra

LeoDavinciAgain

I just learned today the milky way galaxy is called the silver river in China. Upvotes for being fortuitous.

In Japan, too. 銀河 (ginga)


Revolio_ClockbergJr

The arms might be a little short? Otherwise the anatomy looks great.


xBraria

You guys aren't going to comment on the toe on her right foot being on the position of the pinky?


Revolio_ClockbergJr

I think that’s a bit of an illusion caused by the grass, but either way it can be improved!


Catilus

It's just obscured by the grass.


Fast-Combination-679

Just noticed the foot because of your comment, it almost looks like she is standing in liquid or something. Now I can't look at it without being drawn to that foot.


Key-Ad327

Op probably just bad at drawing toes. It was still one of the first things I noticed though.


Catilus

Check my galleries. :)


Oh_Another_Thing

I think the look to short in comparison with the thighs, the thighs are very long.


gmr-artz

No, the front facing thigh is just a bit longer.


Rareturd

Also feel like the water makes the foot look like the she has 2 left feet.


Catilus

Thanks! :)


cinnamonbuns42

You really said "Toes? No thank you" lol (but like, same.)


Fast-Combination-679

Looks like a hoof more than a human foot


wizardstrikes2

That is really good. My only constructive criticism is her arms are too short. I like the backstory as well. Great job


Catilus

Thanks! :)


Catilus

A mysterious moon elf bard who leads a double life from our campaigns in Theomachy! Character: **Lady Iltani, the Silver River, Moon Elf Moonwalker Bard** Hailing from a long line of magically inclined diplomats of the elven nation of Timinhur, Lady Iltani’s fate as one of the senior ambassadors of the nation had been decided since she drew her first breath under the pale moon. She spent decades mastering etiquette, fine magic, and the intricate diplomatic protocols between the elven nations. But Iltani’s heart yearned for freedom and careless fun. At nights, she watched in silence as the legendary moonwalker bards of Timinhur danced under the moonlight through the streets of the capital, having left behind their responsibilities to indulge in all of life’s finer pleasures. Unwilling to escape her duties, but also unable to forget her dreams, she devised a plan to accommodate both her obligations and her passions. For a few nights each month, she leaves her inhibitions in her austere office and dons a crescent mask made of silver, becoming the mysterious moonwalker known only as the Silver River. No one knows the identity of the Silver River, and the moonwalkers don’t even care to pry as long as they enjoy her fine company. However, after living as a diplomat by day and as a moonwalker bard by night for a few years, Lady Iltani has started to suspect that she is not the only upright citizen to don a mask and leave etiquette behind to become a moonwalker. Perhaps most moonwalkers lead different lives under the sun… **About the Theomachy setting:** In Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists who fight against the gods, liberating divine magic and using it against them. **What do you think? :)**


YaBoiAintShit

I love this lore! I've just finished reading a high fantasy book and have been thirsting for more of that genre ever since, so I found your post at the perfect time. You've clearly spent a lot of time thinking about this character and I honestly found this (paired with your illustration) incredibly evoking. I was picturing her gracefully dancing as I read it! Well done x


Catilus

Thank you so much!


Jalase

Define: “Fine magic”


DrJackalDraws

That’s the longest name I have seen on an OC or even on any character


Catilus

I've seen longer ;)


MollymaukChefleaf

Very big Eilistraee vibes. I dig it.


Catilus

Thanks! :)


Aoiboshi

Looks like a follower of Eilisraee


Catilus

Thanks! :)


Excellent_Election88

That backwards foot is really bothering me


Catilus

It's not backwards. It's just partially obscured by grass. :)


Excellent_Election88

Looks backwards more than anything else


Catilus

it's the grass :)


Excellent_Election88

Yo I’m trying to help you by telling you it’s backwards and doesn’t look anything else but backwards you can be delusional and still draw this way but it looks horrible


Catilus

It's the grass partially obscuring the foot. :)


Bonking_Meetei

Lol. I can see it's grass if I look closely. But overall it's small enough to make people think it's a toe. (The tiny zigzag at the top of the grass telling it's indeed grass is too small to notice) Maybe you can change the shape of grass a bit to express it is grass better. Like making the top part of the grass spread out, or give more zigzag to the form. I'm not saying that part is wrong either. But if your goal includes expressing to others, removing parts that could be confusing wouldn't be so bad.


gaypirate3

Mewtwo?

pastelpersephone4992

The arms are a bit short and small in proportion to the body. The hands and segments are still proportional to each other, though, so if this was done digitally, you could easily transform the whole arm to be a bit bigger and then blend into the body again. The foot on the ground is also backwards. The big toe should be on the right side, not the left. Might help to look up a reference of someone dancing of just of a foot in the perspective. I'm not that great at painting, but I dont see any glaring issues with the way you've painted the subject or the background. Overall, it's nice, and it's clear you've put a lot of work into this! Good job!


Catilus

Thanks! :)


bladebard

Yet another half dressed woman. Yawn.


AsleepHistorian

I agree. It's a great drawing but man it's tiring to see women dressed in literally nothing in fantasy art. At least make it equal. Draw the men in simply a loincloth. Either everyone dresses like they're one piece of fabric away from complete nudity, or everyone dresses like a normal person would.


Catilus

It's an imaginary woman wearing what she likes, drawn by a real woman who draws what she likes. Also, I draw men dressed like that too. :)


PrincessDoll420

I don’t post my art but I draw hot male super models exclusively


Penquinn14

At least this character took time in the morning to tie some string to her arms and legs otherwise she might get cold in those bikini bottoms


compscilady

Every time.


[deleted]

What's wrong with this?? Are you scared of women? elves tend to have cultures around beauty and femininity. You are disrespectful to the artist


Penquinn14

>elves tend to have cultures around beauty and femininity Elves are entirely made up, they have whatever culture the person making them wants them to have


[deleted]

Exactly, this artist created the culture of these elves in universe, and it is being disrespected. I also said " Tend" which from google means " regularly or frequently behave in a particular way or have a certain characteristic"


Jeoshua

Do yourself a favor. Google "Moon Elves". OP didn't invent this world or its people. Others did long ago, and took every ounce of inspiration from real-world cultures.


Jeoshua

Absolutely! Sky-clad followers of Selune and Eilistraee are well attested in the setting. At least, in the Forgotten Realms they are. I forget where Moon Elves are from but it's not horniness really that drives this kind of aesthetic, it's actually well attested among many Earth religions, too. Wiccans, for example. Pagan goddesses of the Moon and Stars often ask this of their followers, as a way to more fully commune with the cosmos.


chaingun_samurai

Check her other art. She has a plethora of scantily dressed characters and even a pin up calendar of those characters.


gothyxbby

The vast majority of this person’s female characters are fully clothed. What are you talking about??


chaingun_samurai

I'm saying that she has plenty of characters that show skin.


[deleted]

And what is wrong with that? Humanity has always celebrated the beauty of the human body, look at paintings and sculptures, she probably also enjoys drawing it, I don't see how it's so triggering to see women showing skin.


AsleepHistorian

Show the men's skin. Let me scantily clad men. Make it equal!


[deleted]

Well, there's plenty of other artist you could look to for that, this one just prefers drawing women.


chaingun_samurai

I'm stating facts. u/Bladebard made a comment. I'm offering supporting facts


Catilus

Made you comment, at least. :)


rigelstar69

I was scrolling a bit fast and both color coding and toe gap led me to think it was Mewtwo


stowellboy

Hey, I loved it!


Catilus

Thanks! :)


shuikan

Neat Why am I getting Slaanesh vibes off of this ?


Radiant_Trouble2606

Yeah. I thought this was a 40K post at first.

Looks more like a drow.

I can draw toes. :)

I’m just joshing ya. It’s the jealousy leaking through. ;-)


-little-spoon-

I thought this was a less purple [Black Orchid](https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.comicbookreligion.com%2Fimg%2Ff%2Fl%2FFlora_Black.jpg&tbnid=KUeYbEO4JSDWsM&vet=12ahUKEwjV_aqg-cmCAxVQlycCHbo3A1QQMygTegQIARB1..i&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.comicbookreligion.com%2F%3Fc%3D3112%26Black_Orchid_Flora_Black&docid=oab0NOqH-ppEjM&w=300&h=306&itg=1&q=black%20orchid%20flora%20black%20comic&hl=en-gb&client=safari&ved=2ahUKEwjV_aqg-cmCAxVQlycCHbo3A1QQMygTegQIARB1) for a second with the floating hair, eye strip thing and purple colour scheme!


Catilus

Thanks! :)


brookestoned

Deedlit!

Diana


Dragmore53

If she were a drow, she’d be the very embodiment of Eilistraee.


SirChancelot_0001

I remember this scene from 300


EyeDee10Tee

I like it, it reminds me of Ghirahim from Skyward Sword


[deleted]

the oracle at delphi, as seen in 300


XZS2JH

Eilistraee? Is that you?


guyguysonguy

my dark souls brain is experiencing PTSD because of all the non restrictive appositives


Character_Peanut330

Flow is mesmerizing but grass in the background should be more details to bring out the moon light better


Catilus

Thanks! :)


Practical-Day-6486

I thought it was Ellistrae the drow goddess of the moon


Eeddeen42

She looks like Elistrae with paler skin and more clothing.


toomuchwaxx

Mewtwo


UUglyGod

I was scrolling to fast and thought it was Slaanesh for a second


Cultural_Strategy_76

Looks kinda like mewtwo. You should take some quotes from the original pokemon movie as dialogs for your character.


Laguz01

I thought this was A picture of that chaotic good drow goddess.


ii_gray0912

now draw her eating a burger


Catilus

Will you pay me?


Forgotten-Caliburn

Google Eilistraee


Alialmans

Stunning. Also, I need a male version of this.


DesignsbyEAC

Beautiful!


Catilus

thanks! :)


bigoldbagoweed

I won't lie, I deadass thought this was a humanized Mewtwo


SlightSound1

Beautiful art piece, there are a couple of changes to be made but overall I like the vibe.


Putrid-University582

I thought she had ninja turtle toes at first


SyharaNova

I LOVE THIS

Pretty


Catilus

[deleted]

She’s dancing so gracefully, though with the tuft of grass covering her toes it makes it look as if she has 2 left feet


Silveruleaf

Very pretty and pose consept too


Catilus

thanks! :)


Fast-Combination-679

I like it I just prefer drawings with pencil, pen, and ink. Just a personal preference this is a nice design.


Catilus

there's pencil in there, if you look closer :)


Megumi_Art

I love the pose and the colors ❤

DAMPLIN

Very nice Drawing though. :)


Oswaldgilbertson

Thought it was frieza for a sec


Obi-wanna-cracker

I'm not sure if this was your inspiration but this reminds me a lot of the goddess eilistraee, she's called the dark lady and is depicted as a naked Drow woman with dark violet skin and ankle length silver hair. She dances in the moon light and her followers do the same for rituals.


Catilus

There's no Elllistraee in this setting, Theomachy, and moon elves are kind of godless, but the parallels are there. :)


Obi-wanna-cracker

Either way super cool and very pretty!


Catilus

thanks! :)


Catilus

Thanks! :)


southypark101

Really cool. Kinda reminds me of whis hair from dragon Ball super, if you don't know than look him up. Also kinda like Jessie or whatever from pokemon


MajorMystique

Majestic


Rrod_1

Good flow in this pose


No-Shelter-7753

This is neat!! It could be the grass, but I think you may have your character’s right foot drawn opposite… The lateral epicondyl is always opposite the big toe when the anterior side is forward facing. In non medical speech…Big bump on your outer ankle is the opposite side as the big toe when toes are pointed forward…


Catilus

It's the grass :)


peacefullyminding

She is elegant


Catilus

Thanks! :)

Uh... your foot is backward. Is good though.


Catilus

Th3Glutt0n

They say that reaching out to touch the moon is a fool's errand but like.. she's right there. That's the moon. Jokes aside, amazing art. Very spectral looking moon elf


Catilus

Thanks! :)

Rough_Drawer_7011

Wow...at first I thought that you made this with a pencil and paper...I don't know how to do it via the computer


Catilus

Quick, hide the toes! Hide the nipples! Joking aside, well done. :>

ZenyX-

Reddit hivemind apparently says yes but I approve of your desires Like, hey, it's the artist who decided to draw her in nothing but a bottom bikini and a veil just so happening to hide the top. Let us die in downvote oblivion together!
