poplitealqueen:
For ninayasmijn.
She commissioned me to draw her as a Dwarfling (or a young Dwarrowdam if you will), so I done did it.
Some details: she has some lovely raven wing earrings (as requested by Nina herself). She also has two piercings–both influenced by the awesome headcanons of the lovely determamfidd. The one below her bottom lip is a Singer’s Stud, and denotes a celebrated singer. The octagonal one above her top lip denotes a celebrated musician (I’m told Nina is a pretty good harp player. Cool, right?)
Last but not least, she also asked me to come up with a Dwarven Dark-Name for her. I decided on:
I’mêgmanûl (’Singing Skies’)
I don’t know you all that well, Nina, but from the time I have I’ve seen that you’re one talented kid. Passionate about what you love, and not afraid to show it either. I chose Singing Skies 1)Because it sounds cool, 2)Because you’re a helluva good singer and 3)Because the sky can seemingly go on forever, and that’s how I feel about your potential: limitless, as long as you keep going for stuff that makes you happy.
Hope you like it!
