Description

As said in the title, this was an trade and Christmas present for my friend :iconandroidaleksandrash:
This should've been done about 10 days ago (Orthodox Christmas aka January 7th) but I rethought and overthought this slightly, then ran into some personal life problems, and blah blah so on so forth I won't waste your time with all the details.
You're here for the art, so enjoy the art and tell me if I did decently! XD
Go check out her gallery if you're not already aware of her art! :D

As for the result...basically, she asked for and wanted a study of her work, and I come up with a concept and character inspired by her works.
So, here's how I figured this out and came up with it based on her works as inspiration and studying them:
* She likes drawing elves, fantasy, and sci-fi and cyberpunk stuff, so I tried to combine a little bit of all of that in this character.
* She has blue hair because Alexandra somewhat has an affinity for drawing characters with blue hair I noticed, so I wanted to tie that in.
* Obviously the character is an elf. inb4 no shit lol
* The outfit takes inspiration from various works she's done (her "Cyber" series of artworks for instance) but I didn't want to outright just jack stuff, so I sprinkled in my own way about combining that kind of stuff with an armored knight-like outfit.
* She's drawn characters wearing furs/hides, so I wanted to add in a bit of symbolism and make the fur scarf around the character's neck a three-tailed fox version of kitsune.
* The point of that above is to kind of express the character being highfalutin, smug, and selfish. As well as a reflecting how technological advancement can be the death of nature, especially in the wrong hands.
* Her sword is bladed on one side, while the other side is plasma/lightsabery.
One of my main goals with the design was to combine sci-fi with fantasy, since Alexandra loves doing art of both kinds.
So doing the same with her weapon seemed like a must to help sell that point over.


And for those interdasted, one last thing of notey noteness is the pose was inspired by this photo here:
