"Commissioned by author K. Alease White from her novel Jewel of the Tamar.
Sillara is the reluctant warrior princess of the warlike nation of Tamar - a wild, free-spirited Elven maid, bound to uphold the honor of her family name and the legacy of her ancestor Ellon Dragonslayer. She pensively waits beneath the light of the twin moons of Gilalion in a garden full of night-blooming Orhlanna for the arrival of her beloved, holding a red rose to symbolize the heraldic union of their houses.

Beautiful soft work. I love the detail in the rose, her soft hair, and especially her bracelet. Very nice!! | | (A. K. ( Genevra ) Brown) |
Thank you very much! I don't usually illustrate such detailed flowers and scenery as this. But considering how significant the rose is to the concept, I invested extra time in trying to make sure I had that element as correct as I could. It was quite a challenge for me, and I'm thrilled that the effort is appreciated. Thanks again!

Everything is marvelous... but the jewel, the rose, and her hands are absolutely perfect! The only thing that bothers me is the pixelization of her right arm... other wise I love it! Great work! | | (A. K. ( Genevra ) Brown) |
This was created as a print for the author (and the high-resolution prints are currently available for sale from my studio website) but when the image was reduced in size and resolution for web display, it did end up with that odd pixel line on the right arm, and that's the only place and time it manifests. But thank you for your feedback nonetheless! :)

lovely design--I just love the backgrond elements. It frames the princess' face nicely. | | (A. K. ( Genevra ) Brown) |
Thank you for saying so! The biggest challenge I had with this piece was from the multiple light sources - the distant interior light from the castle, and the cast light of two differently-colored moons (as per the author's request). I was very happy with the way it all turned out, so much so that it made me want to experiment more with multiple light sources from there
