Description
------------- Athelia - Princess of the Dragon Empire
The female Red Dragon moved slowly forward, with the sparkling, humanoid form of Prince Agitahr by her side. She took a second and shifted forms. There was a rush of air as the space she had occupied was suddenly vacant. The form that she assumed was surprising, not a luscious and scantily clad seductress as they had come to expect of female dragons, but a seven foot tall giant of a woman, clad in blood red and black, spiked half-plate armor. There was a beauty there, but one hidden behind a garish display of strength and metal and magic. As she stepped forward, her armor rattled and her weapons thwacked at her side.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Princess Athelia, eldest daughter of King Nordrage. My father awaits your presence in the main hall. I understand you already know Prince Agitahr?"
She turned her head only slightly towards the Adamant Dragon, then returned her burning stare to the group. Kheldar was wondering if she had some special telepathic power that wouldn't be detected by his magical eye. He was praying that the Adamant Prince, the leader of the hosts of Bahamut, would be doing what he could to block any such power,

The dragons and the sky are downright brilliant. The soft shadows fit perfectly with the reddish lights. Her arrogant pose and expression fits the story perfectly. Just one thing. She might have had a better grip on her sword.

MAgnificent artwork!

The light grip is intentional, though it may not be as visible as it should be since her gloves and her cloak are of the same material and the line between them isn't as clear as it might have been. Trust me, her grip will tighten when she needs it.

Another beautiful scene! Heh, I remember everyone being rather jumpy on this part of the game. Ding dangity dragons ;) I really love how the dragons and the background came out here. It helps give a feeling of power to the whole picture in general ^_^

This is EXACTLY what a fantasy scene should be.. Bravo! Wow. I will admit that not having her thumb over the hint of the sword to hold it makes it look just the slightest bit off..but I doubt I would even have noticed it had svdl not pointed it out. Just superb!

Obviously I need to do another pic with that same hand pose form different angle,...
