I struggled a lot with motivation on this piece even though it was a massive leap in my abilities in comparison to previous art I'd done. Even though I wanted it down by the entry date, life got in the way and I eventually shelved it. Part of the reason was that I messed up the anatomy pretty early on and struggled to correct it. I feel like this was a great learning experience. I started working on this again this week (1st November) and taking the break really helped.

Deliana Tighs is also commonly known as 'The Siren' or 'Sharpshooter' due to her unique skills in precision archery and also her hypnotic singing voice. She is an Agent of the Vine, a ranger who carries out fieldwork and is constantly curious about the world around her, knowing how to avoid or deal with humans when necessary. She is the glue of the Felaris, a vital source of hope and optimism. Luce admires that about her and her habit of info dumping on certain topics.
