This is some FanArt I had done back in 2011.
Other than for being by Chaors side, which I would think does take up quite a lot of her time, I don’t see Takinom with many of the other creatures. I found her to be a very lonely woman in need of at least a few other strong and independent friends. I’m sure Swassa and her have respect for one another, and on occasion share drinks and battle stories, and that Takinom doesn’t just spend time with the women of the Underworld, but I felt she needed someone she could always count on. Which brought me to create Fern.
My story for the two went that before Takinoms promotion and Ferns disappearance into the Overworld, the two used to be great friends. Almost considered best friends, but more just the, “I’ll be there if you ever need me for anything.” Type of friends, and if they were to ever run into each other now, they would still honor that.
I always loved Takinoms original colors. They made her appear like fire, and in Season two they dulled her design down. So when I made this piece I used bold colors for Ferns design as well.
This took me 25 layers and 25 hours spread out over a week.
This is the first background I painted using PS without sketching it first. I think it’s been my only real background I’ve painted in PS since as well. heheh
