Elemental4 - Eliana the angelic Firecat
_{Several PC & Internet probs and outbursts of rage later...}

Okay this is finally done and took me like... forever? *shot*
I drew this sketch back in the summer vacations when I was at =Chibi-Metal's, which was like more than 5 weeks ago.
Well as you might recognize, this is my character Eliana (some of you might know her from my older pic).
When laying in Anne's bed and wanting to sleep I suddenly got this idea in my head. Besides i really had to draw Eliana again.
I told myself to finish this today so =Shadowhog could make a poster of it before he leaves work and comes here again today. °O°
I gave Eliana some different clothes since those I had designed were either stupid or just temporary.
As well this is my first time to draw wings. All in all they might look a little flat, but I guess it's alright (at least that's what Anne said ).

__About the Picture:__

_{The lineart took me quite some time since there were several details. All in all this picture is more detailed than most of my other pics are. Flat coloring was a pain as always. XD Well thinking of the wings. Coloring them was the worst thing ever. I don't know if it was worse inking, coloring or shading them. XD
I had fun making the shiny things (eyes, stones, sphere), although the red stone (beneith the flame) didn't come out as I wanted and the blue stone (on her chain) doesn't look as well as it did in the original sized picture. But I'm really satisfied with the red sphere on her wand.
For the background I used a tutorial (can't remember right now). It's not the best but I guess it looks alright.
I know the "moon" idea is stolen from =Chibi-Metal's pic .: MoOnRiSe :. but I got the permission to do it 8D
Sure it doesn't look that well but... well XD
I like it so far, though I somehow imagined the background a little better but I'm not good in getting a clear picture in my mind - huge problem for me. >_>}
