The Flower Picker

One of my personal bests at drawing Rasende. There will come a day when I will be good at coloring, but that day is not today. (Ras definitely doesn’t stroll through the streets of Silvermoon like this, I just wanted to draw her body while being SFW. I like to think she’s admiring her sweet abs in an off-panel mirror at home or something)

Rasende is a trained warrior used to wielding heavy weapons in battle and traveling for hours on end in plate armor, and her body shows the fruits of her labor. It’s easy to mistake her for one of the male Sin’dorei, especially since she’s so prone to wearing simple linen blouses and trousers. 

She’s also tall for a Blood Elf of the fairer sex—measuring at 6’2, a good size for any Sin’dorei man, let alone woman. Rarely does she ever stand less than eye-to-eye with the people she meets (not counting Orcs and Trolls). 

These days, Rasende mainly deals with her family by tuning them out. Typically, she likes to recite the 206 bones of the body, or the basic medicinal components her most-used herbs. That’s probably her sister, Meritas, in the background harassing her about something or other. Rasende used to live with her mother, brother, and sister before getting her own place and as far as she's concerned, the less she sees of her folks, the better. 

I wanted to draw something to emphasize Rasende’s body type. She spent about ten years as a soldier in the Horde army before returning to the civilian life, and her figure reflects years dedicated to fighting and hard, physical labor. She's tall, broad, muscular, and lacking in feminine curves. 

Coloring WIP for Rasende. Too lazy to finish it tonight  

Just a bust of my blood elf Rasende. It was initially just going to be a neutral expression, but now she kinda looks uncomfortable about something. Figures. When I want to draw expressions, all I can manage is blank face, and when I wanna draw a blank face, too much feeling seeps through. 

I will eventually color this and make it nice.
