... I had written an extensive story behind the city guard of Kyrenoc, but I felt people would be more interested in the art itself than some page-long summary of my world's lore. Still, for a taste, Kyrenoc was once an island fortress off the coast of Ailyrenai. During the Shadow Era, it harboured Daeyaran's third fleet against the nelri there, yet nowadays, three hundred years from then, it is more of a merchant capital, where Daeyaran still holds its seat of influence for political affairs between the two races. Its city guard is promptly made up of its proud warlike civilians, which greatly consist of the common people's flesh and blood. Many are chosen by family decree; thus it is often seen that Kyrenoc's walls are patrolled by an assortment of family crests that honour those who fought valiantly before their age.

Anyhoo, this is my third official collab, and it's with ~Xhydralisk. I promised him that if he drew an armour-clad nelri, I'd CG it. 'Tis was lots of fun, and since my artwork of Kyse, I needed something to keep my mind fresh on how to colour and shade lined armour.

As for Steve's original lineart; it can be found here at: [link] =)

Beautiful work on the armour and the blade that she's holding. I like the myst surrounding her also.

Thanks, mate! Credit goes out to Steve though for the outfit. It has inspired me to create some more armoured works, when I get the chance. =)

Thanks, Tak. =) lol, and I guess he's fortunate. I mean, I've only completed three collabs so far... so that must make it some kind of a secret club on a remote island, or something? =P
