I am probably going to get kicked right now for reworking Aribeth, but I couldn't resist. I find her portrait partially good. The armour is fantastic, the face I don't like. So I gave her a new head (maybe a bit young but I don't care) I painted in the armour myself after the original. It was murder to do, as I had to change the position of the armour, and all the details are very hard to get right. all in all I am pleased with the result. Maybe I will do a dark version too. :) Then again, if everyone hates this version, I won't. :D
Great portrait, like all your work. You are very talented. I have to agree with Norgrimm, this is the sad and disallusioned Aribeth. At first I wasn't too sure about the way she looked, until I took the time to study her and realised that the reason I was unsure about the portrait was because the sadness in her expression. Well done! P.S. Elves are supposed to look young (they are nearly immortal after all)

This is reasonably good. I don't like the head, the face doesn't suit her- I can't say how, though. And I thought she had dark blonde hair. Also, the breast armour looks like it's hanging off a bit... This is how she would probably look during chapter 2, barely holding it together. _________________________ I hold it to be of great prudence for men to abstain from threats and insulting words towards any one, for neither the one nor the other in any way diminishes the strength of the enemy; but the one makes him more cautious, and the other increases his hatred of you, and makes him more persevering in his efforts to injure you.

She's lovely, and mostly, I agree with the work. It'd be right sometime into when she is paining for Fenton and questioning her faith.

Though this is a brave attempt, I dont think it look like aribeth at all.

She's fabulous.The head is not of somebody too young,remember,we're talkin' about Aribeth here,an Elf.So she's likely over three hundred!That doesn't matter to an Elf.They don't really start to look over twenty until about 600...
