Description Light is more important than the lantern,
The poem more important than the notebook,
And the kiss more important than the lips.
My letters to you
Are greater and more important than both of us.
They are the only documents
Where people will discover
Your beauty
And my madness.

~ Nizar Qabbani



This is Yridre, the Lantern Bearer, for a project I'm working on. She is the goddess of dreams and messages.

I sketched her on some very ... erm, fuzzy and cheap paper. When I scanned it, the texture of the paper came with it. Usually, I clean up the paper textures, but this time I really liked how the colors were clinging to it, so I left it.

I love the details on her bodice and the sparkles in her hair. And yes, the texture is wonderful!
