    I'll start by being very, very blunt. I'm not a commenter, in fact, i've yet to remember a single comment in my entire history of my membership that spans multiple years, multiple titles, and even multiple stages of my life and while I certainly can't say I've "grown up" with this site, I can say without a hint of doubt in heart or mind that I've spent more time here than any human being should.

    Despite all that time spent downloading files kilobit by kilobit, I never found the urge (or perhaps the need) to post any content on this site so consider this my only and perhaps last contribution to the site.

    I like this. I REALLY like this.

    Though I understand posting an explanation for why I enjoy this would be desired by most of the community instead of some incoherent rant, I can't really accurately describe WHY I enjoy this as much as I do. Perhaps it's simply refreshing to see an image of what looks like a MILDLY INTERESTING CHARACTER on this site rather than someones "Supar specell katana weelding witchuntre elf-khajiit-orc hybrid." Perhaps it's her dark but statuesque figure or the scowl one sees when looking from a distance into her dark visage, or that by looking past the shadows, she reveals a wicked smile. Perhaps it is because she displays her age with no shame showing that as a lord even time or vanity does not rule her mind. Perhaps its the armor she wears, that accentuates her wickedness and speaks tomes of her time in battle. Or perhaps it is the wicked figure this portrait paints as a whole, one that carries a chill down the spine of every nord as it brings memory of Potema.

    Or perhaps I have too much time on my hands. In any case good job.

      Thank you very much! Thats a reply i didn't saw coming. When i uploaded it i didn't expect many hits. It was just very dark and such images usually don't get many hits. But i liked the atmosphear and how the light accentuates the shadows.

      When i created Ivy, i didn't even intend to make her look older. I just wanted a character who's face already tells a story and when she ended up looking mature, i just kept it that way. I was mostly thinking about a prettier Brienne of Tarth during the creation, haha. The haircut is a direct reference to Game of Thrones.
