I realize you're probably not going to understand this, but...

she looks like a young version of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins! (I know, I know, it's completely idiot to compare a half-elf to a hobbit, but still...)

I had to look Lobelia up, but I can't disagree with you! I mean, I did try to make her look younger/more childlike, which certainly fits along with hobbits, so I understand completely. :D

And the funniest part is, Lobelia's hair is actually closer to how I imagined Sajantha's hair; I just haven't painted it properly yet. :XD:

hmm, well, I was really making the connection because Sajantha looked so irritated about something.

rofl... guess Google image search didn't help me too much with revealing Lobelia's attitude/personality... oh well! :XD: And I just spent a few minutes trying to figure out Sajantha's expression myself haha... I honestly don't remember what my intentions were with this piece. I know I wasn't trying to make her look irritated, but I can't recall what I WAS trying to do.... although, yeah, now I can see how she could look a bit irritated. ^^

I love the soul behind the face. There's really a character to her, her face tells a story... I'm really fascinated with her.

Say, would it be okay if I inspired myself of this picture to create one of my book project's character ? I don't mean to denature your work, but it's just that I'm bursting with ideas right now :heart:

of course! I'm flattered. :D (sorry-- hope reply isn't too late!) I've actually changed her a bit since I first envisioned her here, so don't even feel like you're stealing anything.

Besides, you don't even need to ask (but thanks! ^^)-- that's what they call "appropriating" in the art world-- being inspired/taking pieces of something isn't "stealing" if you can make it your own. ;D

Thank you so much ! I officially love you :)

Ha ha, I know I don't "have to", but I still feel better knowing the artist is okay with its work inspiring characters... I guess some people could feel like their character is turned into something else against their will.

Anyway, when I finish my first draft (that could mean in a year or two, lol), I'll let you know all about what she's become ;)

And thank you again for being such an inspiring artist and generous human being. :handshake:
