Lyssa by depingo

EDIT: Thanks so much for the DD! The contest is over now btw and I was one of the winners, yay! (More info here [link] )
Thank you for all the favs& comments

I finished this a couple of days ago for the Art Evolution Challenge over at ArtOrder.
Participants were asked to paint Lyssa, "A young female human wizard with black hair who always wears white trimmed in gold."

My idea for Lyssa is a somewhat Tibetan-inspired shaman. She mainly uses her powers to protect nature and wildlife and summons animal spirits to aid her.

The entries are going to be judged sometime soon, so wish me luck <3

Hello, I am a fan of your work for MtG. Recently I started working for a little subclass for one of my D&D players, cutting to the chase this image perfectly resembles what we both had in mind and I was wondering if you were okay with me using this image and posting it on DMs Guild for other people to enjoy. I look forward to hearing from you, and keep up the good work.

Sure, that's fine, but please credit me if possible

Have fun playing D&D!

Woah, this is just so beautiful! I love Lyssa's powerful pose, the glow of magic and the utter feeling of cold and vast open space the background gives off

I want this as wallpaper. Could you release a higher res version for that use, please?

Beautiful costume design contrast to her environment. I like that you captured her in mid saunter xD the flowing robes really add to her dignity ... Will never get over walking shots

This is gorgeous - I love the warm tones and lighting against the subtly different blues of the snow and the spirit. Lovely character design too. Well done!
