Been wanting to do a figure based painting study for a while now, and was also enticed to join an art contest here on dA, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.

Anywho, about the contest. This character is a half-elf named Nauriane, and belongs to Gorgriz and this is my entry to his contest- Characters of Fiel. Go check it out, good prizes, good artistic freedom and lots of cool looking characters to choose from!
