Artist's Comments

During the events taking place in Daggerfall, Morgiah is the Princess of Wayrest, and after Lady Brisienna the second person to contact the player for an audience pertaining the main quest.

While not one of the most important characters in the game, Morgiah has nevertheless become one of the most popular. This portrait is a trip back to my childhood, really, when I sat playing Daggerfall for hours on end, to the chagrin of my parents.

Now that Daggerfall is apparently released for free download, I can only hope many of you can experience the awesomeness that that game is, like I did so many years ago.

For this portrait, I used nothing else than the ridiculously small, horribly pixillated portrait the game provided when you spoke to Morgiah. It was fun to take on the challenge of using such a pixillated portrait and turning it into an actual person.

Great portrait man. I'm not familiar with the subject, but your portrayal seems to say a lot about her.

I'm also not familiar with the subject but this is a nice piece. The color on the eyes draw you into it to great effect. I also like the work on the hair.

The shading on the face is a bit dark for my tastes, I probably would have kept the skin tone white ( or paper color) and just done the shadows, but that is a personal preference. I've been told by a few art teachers that I "draw like an architect", which is funny because I was one. LOL

Thank you :)

Thank you!

Well, everyone has his style, and since I've been accused of drawing "too light", I'm practicing bringing more darks in there.

As for "drawing like an architect", it's a style like any other. The only bad style is "boring" ;)

Stormy, I can't believe I didn't see this before! It is absolutely beautiful - exactly the picture in my head - and the way you've made her eyes the only colourful point is so effective. I absolutely love it! Once again I can only marvel at your talent :)

Hey Teasza. Didn't know you had a dA account? And you didn't see it before because you're never in touch anymore ^_^

I figured you'd like it, but I was too stubborn to draw your attention onto it :D
