Firiona Vie

Firiona Vie is the "mascot" of EverQuest, an mmorpg I spent about 5 years playing religiously. The character rarely appears in game, just in the lore, but she's on every box so at least references were easy to come by. (I could write a book about my EQ experiences and how important and wonderful it all was to me...but I'll skip that and just talk about the painting instead
)
I spent waaay longer on this than I originally intended to. I originally meant to just do something rough and be done with it. It was supposed to be an easy, enjoyable appetizer to some much more difficult and challenging projects I'm beginning.
It also used to be a completely different painting, too, but I trashed that one and started over and spent about a week of regular work on this one. The results, however, are MUCH better than I originally even hoped they'd be so I think it all works out.
Created entirely in Photoshop, using various refs I took myself and time spent standing in front of a mirror.
7/21/08 Update I'm getting ready to print a new print portfolio, so I fixed a few things about this that were bugging me (mainly her face). Enjoy!

Hey Majoh! Congrats on such an amazing picture! Even though it isn't under a Creative Commons license, I took the liberty of using for a post I wrote regarding recent Counter Strike and EverQuest bannings here in Brazil.
It's written in (brazilian) Portuguese so you might not be able to read it. In that case feel free to use any translators or ask me what's going on. Check it out @ [link] and I've given credit to your image as well as posted a link to this address.
Still, let me know if you are satisfied with the reference or would like to propose something else. Other than that, feel free to wander the site, I write both in portuguese and english so you won't be left out.
Cheers!
