the song i picked for the entry:


Sabaton - Nightchild [link]

:lyrics:

In a dream i saw the future,
in a dream i saw the world,
there were madmans lies,
devils point of view,

In a world of hate and anger,
In a world of fear and pain,
there is no time for pride,
no time to stand aside.

Call me a dreamer,
call me insane,
ill survive the storm,
ill take the pain.

Out of the storm,
come the children of the night,
out of the storm,
a black masquerade,
dance with the dead,
to the music of grief,
out of the storm,
a nightchild appears.

In the silence of the moonlight,
we can hear the nightchilds cry,
like a lonely wolf, (not 100% sure)
out into the sky.
With a madman nor a stranger,
whose words you just cant tell,
the nightchilds way,
the way of no return,

call me a dreamer,
call me insane,
ill survive the storm,
ill take the pain.

Out of the storm,
come the children of the night,
out of the storm,
a black masquerade,
dance with the dead,
to the music of grief,
out of the storm,
a nightchild appears.

When the light fades away,
and the night puts me asleep,
will i ever wake up again,
will i stay in this twilight forever?
Out of the storm,
come the children of the night,
out of the storm,
a black masquerade,
dance with the dead,
to the music of grief,
out of the storm,
a nightchild appears.



explanation:

shes a dark scaled dragonoid assasin with smoke as her primary abillity, when she enters battle she uses the smoke as cover she does this in such a way the smoke rages like a storm to confuse everyone, she operates at night times or twilight periods (morning/evening) she enjoys battling her foes like if she were dancing with them, she always survived until now knowing when to exit battles, she takes the loss but she keeps on going and eventually try again. she may be insane, but shes not stupid nor dumb....

all drawn in photoshop 11 CS4. with a bamboo tablet V2.
time taken.... i think about 80 hours.... ( i know im terribly slow and being a perfectionist on top of that doesnt help either)

credits for the head and feet base go to yamer.

details:
the sword inscription says: “Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning.” in runic.
the green eyes belong to her cat in the fog, and the bright lights are the headlights of her vehicle...
