This one took me a while because I was struggling with how exactly to approach a new coloring style I was planning.

Overall I ditched most of the lineart and repainted everything to give it a softer feel. The style was to have normal shading but for areas that go farther in the back the grayer it would become, and thus be overtaken by the fog in the background. I know it's not exactly new, I've seen other artists use it before but this was my first attempt at it. XD

I also decided to do something new with the background. I turned it to create almost a falling sensation. Overall I like it but my nemisis has become that wall. After a bit I finally decided that the was was too plain so I added the runes. (the runes spell "valkyrie" in elder Futhark.) I had actually struggled and added bricks and everything to it before, Sadly the extra detail had detracted from the picture so thats why it remained as a slab of rock.

What do you think of it?

Awesome.

Thank you.

I'm glad you like it. I tried to keep the background as muted as possible so that it would work with her. XD

Well, it worked. And it looks very well. I also like how the mist is in the background, and how you can barely see some of the mountains and whatnot. biggrin
