Description
My second attempt at Aerie from the Baldur's Gate game.
"When you asked about her past, Aerie becomes silent for a time, obviously saddened by the memory. She lived amongst the avariel, the winged elves, and was captured by slavers when she was still very young. She shudders when she speaks of her first years in the circus, on display in a cage that restricted her movements to the point that her wings atrophied. They became infected... and Aerie can barely speak of the night she was taken out of the cage and her wings were sawn off brutally to keep her alive. She was no longer of use to that circus, and were in not for the kindness of Quayle she surely would have died. He restored her to health and gave her a reason to continue living, and out of respect for his generosity she leaned the devotion of the gnomish god Baervan Wildwanderer. She speaks of Baervan with affection, yet still pays tribute to Aerdrie Faenya, and approaches life outside the circus with a combination of wide-eyed innocence and wonder mixed with an inborn determination to fight againt injustice." (Aerie's bio for Baldur's Gate.)
My second version of Aerie... my first version wasn't so well received! I know her tattoos aren't like the ones in her game pic. I also changed her outfit to something more practical for adventuring, and switched out her wizard's staff for a quarterstaff like the kind more likely to be used by a cleric of Aerdrie Faenya.
I received a request from a Baldur's Gate player at another site to render several characters form the Baldur's Gate game. But not having ever played it myself, I hope I did her justice this time!
Thanks for looking... Hope you enjoy!

I love all your Baldur's Gate Artwork, and I'd love to see you do some of our favorite characters from NeverWinter Nights :) Aribeth, Sharwyn, and Linu come to mind, but I'd love to see some done from the second expansion, such as the Valsharess, Nathyrra, and others :) You're VERY good!!
Darkwish
You did very nice work my friend!
