This Is Lyra (Lyriel) Wintermoon

Here is another of my characters that I have had for over 10 years who is the star of the first comic I am working on. Her name is Lyra or her full name is Lyriel Wintermoon. She is Ceres' niece. Lyra is the child of Ceres' brother Amaranth Wintermoon and his psycho soul mate Sharia Nightsong. Amaranth is a silver dragon who normally takes the form of a very beautiful man with two coloured eyes and silky silver hair. Her mother has pale creamy skin and silky black hair and green eyes. Lyra has long wavy black hair that has a ppearly sheen. I love the pearly sheen but it is super hard to imitate with traditional medium.

This is another one of my favorite pictures of Lyra, I did it on art quality bristol paper and coloured it using a mix of marker, acrylic ink, gel pen and coloured pencil.

Lyra has a combination of special powers she inherited from both her parents, she inherited the healing ability from her Wintermoon family (the dragon half) side   and from her mother she inherited the ability to control and manipulate shadows. Lyra also likes to roam in the Fae lands, she gets together with a man named Anadyr from another world that she meets in Fae and they go through some interesting adventures there and on his world. The comic I will be working on is about Lyra and Anadyr.

Because of Lyra's dragon blood, she has a couple of interesting forms she can take, she has the ability to turn into a full bodied dragon but she doesn't have the ability to get super large and she also has her half form.


Just a little sensory warning, there is a little bit of nudity in the picture below.

Above is Lyra's half dragon form, this is one of my favorite drawings of her. I drew it on paper, scanned the sketch into the computer, inked her using a simple program called Paint Tool SAI and I coloured her in photoshop CS3.

I will be posting more work of Lyra up most likely when I get new ones done. So there you have it a breif introduction to Lyra.

Meet Ceres Wintermoon

Voila! I figured out how to post an image here! This is my original character Ceres Wintrermoon. I first created her back in 1997 and now I hope to get a comic started of her. This piece was done in my skecthbook and I coloured her with marker and coloured pencil. Here is a quick story about her;
Ceres Wintermoon is a dragoness who can shape shift into any other animals and she can change her size; she can be as small as a cat (which is the way I usually draw her) or her actual size which is the length of a Humpback whale roughly.
She has a long and convoluted story. One thing is that the dragons in her family all have powers to heal, they can heal themselves, or others and they can just as easily take their life away. Her family is linked to an ancient very wrathful and twisted god. You will learn more when I get the story out <.<
Ceres and her story  were developed with the help of my friend Lauren who created the world and the family she is a part of. Anyway Ceres has been the character that represents me, like Mickey Mouse was Walt's. Anywhere you see this dragon and her tattoo on her belly |(which has become my trademark and a part of my signature). More often then not it is me! Also the name Mialythila is also me, I am the only Mialythila on the internet any one else who use that name most likely saw mine somewhere and liked it!
I will give you the origin of the name Mialythila later, for now I will drop another pic or four of Ceres. These ones are from between 2008 and 2011 all of these are digital ones of her, she is easier to colour digitally.

    
This one is one of my favorites of her even tho she is anthroed, I really like the details on this and how she turned out and how well you can see the tattoo on her belly.

 Quick ref I did of her all on the computer, I made this up when I commissioned a talented young Finnish girl to make a plushie of Res. It turned out wonderfully.
 My drawings look different when I do them all on the computer than when I do them on paper. I am not very good at drawing with a tablet yet, and I can't wait til I can get enough to afford a cintiq and a MAC, then maybe I will get better at drawing on the computer!

This is the more recent one I did of Ceres in her normal size. I am due to make a better one. Digital.
