Commission: Abby and Joseph

This was a commission piece for * wyrdness. Two characters from a Changeling: The Dreaming game in which she plays. The one on the left is a satyr and on the right, a Gwydion Sidhe. I have to be honest and say it was a real delight to do Changeling art. I still love that game even long after White Wolf gave up really putting any sort of oomph into it. Vampire was always more popular, but I found Changeling more challenging and enjoyable to play by far. Besides, the whimsy and wonder aspect is always a big plus with me. If I wanted tragic goth, I'd watch TNT for that schlock. (Or go to Hot Topic and buy it pre-packaged. Whee~)

Anyway, so I really put some love into this one.

The lighting isn't as intense in this piece as others have been, but I think that makes the Sidhe stand out a bit more (which is accurate). I was hoping the halo of sparkles didn't look totally lame, but I've seen elves/sidhe pictured that way in old art before and was always curious to try it myself. So, he's either got that otherworldly light or ...he's really dizzy.

The satyr is so earthy is pleasing. It reminds me of a girlfriend I used to know.
