I've wanted to do a fully shaded and detailed illustration of my character, Iris, for awhile now, and finally completed this. Iris has both elf-like and unicorn lineage which is such a fun combination to work with. I'm still developing the details about Iris and her story in my spare time. I hope you like it!

Moondrisa Featured By Owner Oct 23, 2010

wow. that is beautiful. well done!

AgentMew Featured By Owner Sep 15, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

This is beautiful but my suggestion is to change the background because it is too distracting and too much the same color as to what your character is wearing. I find I can see the background better than the character. I also wish her other foot was visible since it just seems to disappear into the green in the background.

O_O weird, I have a white/light-purple haired character who wears purple named Iris, too! Though she is much more reserved and uses magic rather than a material weapon.
