Renders: Menolly, Delilah and Ariel

I’ve been having a bit of an art block recently, with life intruding, the death of one of my storage drives and trying to recover that for a project, and the weather.

So, for rest and relaxation, I fall back to my second favourite pastime (after doing renders of Giger-esque aliens) – Doing renders of the characters in books I love.

I’d done one of Menolly, one of the Sisters of The Moon from Yasmine Galenorn‘s Otherworld novels a little while ago, and figured since I’m on a roll, stick with ones I have a visual of firmly in my head.

Of course, I have to start off with another one of Menolly.  It’s not just that she’s a half-human/half-fae now-vampire with great taste in hair … OK, maybe it is.  But the girl has attitude, and I like that in my undead

The other one I wanted to do this time around was Menolly’s sister, Delilah.

Delilah’s kind of complicated.  Like her sisters, she’s half-fae/half-human – but she’s also a were-cat.

Now most people hear “were-cat” and they immediately think “Oh, were-lion” or similar, but no – Delilah’s shape-shifted form is … a tabby cat.

*waits for the snickers to die down*

That all changed in the past though, when Delilah was volunteered to be one of the Autumn Lord’s Death Maidens (and, the only living one at that!).  Delilah acquired a second form in the process – A were-puma.

All those who snickered, please wait, I’m sure you’ll get harvested soon enough

However to add a new twist, Delilah’s discovered that she’s not exactly alone – she had a twin sister, Ariel, who died at birth, but has been watching over her “all her life” and now appears to her in the form of a leopard.

Yeesh, just when you thought your life was getting complicated, you get snagged by an Elemental Lord and discover you have a twin you never knew!

So, it only stood to reason that they should have a picture together.

And yes, I know, I haven’t done a render of the third D’Artigo sister yet – Camille.  That one’s coming, I promise.

Menolly, Delilah, Ariel, Camille, Otherworld, OIA, and everything to do with the series are copyright Yasmine Galenorn.  The image copyright is mine.  Stealing her words, or my art, is theft whichever way you look at it – just remember karma is a cast iron bitch.
