So I know that the drawing is a little crude and I may change her cloak and color scheme depending on the element I get. The pose and clothing itself was rather simple and fast. I took my main influences from art depicting the Celts and Gauls of the ancient Roman period. It's the color scheme that gave me the most trouble. I've been playing around with colors and realized I can always just change things as her story progresses. Now I'm just waiting to get the Elemental power before proceeding.

  Sereid's got a fun backstory ^-^ She sounds like she'll have fun exploring the Paperverse!
  
  You have a very nice style, and I love how you incorporated the ancient Roman motifs into her design! (I'm looking forward to seeing what her element is now too--)

  Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm really looking forward to fleshing out this character and sending her on adventures.
  
  There is so much in real world history that serves as absolutely amazing points of reference for artwork and design. I'm deciding whether her belt or her brooch will be her Talisman. Leaning towards belt because she likes to only own as much as she can carry on her personally while still having hands free, and retaining full mobility. Oddly practical if very minimalist. (Probably should have included that in bio.)

  Ah yes, practicality is indeed important for adventuring ^-^ (Also I believe you can go back and edit the bio at any time, if you need to update anything in the description, title, or tags!)
