Description
Toi qui n'as pas su me reconnaitreIgnorant ma vie, ce monastere, j'ai
Devant moi une porte entrouverte
Sur un peut-etre
Meme s'il me faut tout recommencer
Toi qui n'as pas cru ma solitude
Ignorant ses cris, ses angles durs. J'ai
Dans le coeur un fil minuscule
Filament de lune
Qui soutient la, un diamant qui s'use...
Mais qui aime

Zivanka, 's character in the White Wolf game Promethean: The Created. Zivanka is a Galatea with a job as a fashion model, so I pictured her as a beautiful woman who must have had many admirers. However, her being a Promethean, I also thought that the feeling of Disquiet around her, as well as her too thin physique hinting at her true nature, would probably make her a very lonely person as well. An isolated beauty, so to speak. I hope I somewhat managed to convey that, if only a little... (And yes, the cigarette refers to the related in-game joke.)
You can learn more about her here , and about the contest in this journal entry .
The three symbols are, respectively: the Galateids, alchemical Gold (for her Refinement of Aurum), and alchemical Mercury (for her Refinement of Mercurius).

At last you finished it

Glad that she's ended up beautiful in the end, given that I partly used my own face as model.
For the fabric, I first laid the base colours (normal + shadow), then used the Dodge tool with blurred edges, set as "Highlights" and with a 40ish opacity. (You can do the same with an aerograph brush with light colour, but I wanted to obtain an over-shiny effect here, so Dodge it was.) Then I traced strokes with the Smudge tool, very thin brush, somewhat blurred edges, 60ish opacity. If you want to try this, you'll have to toy with width and opacity, depending on the colours you use and on your drawing's size & resolution, though. It's never exactly the same.
Yeah, well, I kinda hope it makes sense...
