Description
This is... I suppose it's a poster for the animated version of Northern Lights that live in my head
That's Lyra in the foreground, with the alethiometer in her hands, there's a bunch of His Dark Materials ephemera to her left - Iorek's helmet, the spilt decanter of Tokay, a cloudpine branch, the spyfly under a glass and the box he came from, and a rosary - and Pantalaimon, bird-formed.Iorek's behind Lyra, and in the background is Bolvangar. It's not so clear in this scan but the aurora continues in the black border.
I've just noticed - I painted this before I'd ever heard of Avatar, but Lyra's haircut and pale blue eyes make her look like Toph... wacky.
It's painted in acrylic.

She looks a littl bit like Lor from Weekenders but the look works for her.

Totally awsome drawing. I think I can see Iorek's helmet, or is it a Tartar's? Then there's the pine branch and the bottle of Tokay. Do I know my Golden Compass or what?
Just awsome drawing, it really captures the spirit of the book. the Blood on Iorek's hand like paws is also great.
You've done the books a great justice.

This is such a beautiful design. I love How the northern lights stretch into the border, and all of those bits of ephemera as you call it 
I've featured this piece in my journal, I hope you don't mind, and I'd love to hear your opinions on the books and movie. Thanks!

Mind? Course not! Glad you like it
I worked from Philip Pullman's own little drawing of Bolvangar that heads one chapter in Northern Lights (in the English edition anyway - dunno about the American one).

You're right, Lyra does look somewhat like Toph, but she looks moreso like Eylon, from the W.I.T.C.H. series.
Acrylics, eh? It looks awesome. And I can still sort of see the aurora continuing, which is an interesting effect. Even more interesting is the choice of items you included. Great job on the picture as a whole!

That was it! You've put your finger on it. Maybe I used her as a reference...? Can't remember!
