I think it's finished...
I have to confess I know very little about the LARPing
community but allow me to introduce you to
Lady Aleena Tepes
Lord Regent of Teutonia
Her parents call her Charlotte, her friends call her
Luggage and, when dressed in her finery and surrounded by Live Action Role
Players, this lovely lady is the current leader of the Viper Faction and has been for about 10 years...she is also
my sister-in-law. My mission was to
create some kind of lasting celebration of a character which has been in
existence and a huge part of my sister-in-law's life for over a decade.
As always, there are bits I'm not completely happy with (but the moment I create a piece of artwork I'm completely satisfied with will probably be the day I lay down my paintbrush and walk away
without looking back). I am confident
however that I've captured a decent likeness and that Luggage is going to love
it. What do you think?
It's not been easy...
I've not painted a portrait for rather a long time and you know what's harder to paint than black velvet? Black satin...no wait...white satin...no wait...brass...no wait...leather stud work...no wait... snake skin...Oh what lovely fun! I love painting textures and this has been a real challenge.

I've agreed to paint a portrait of my brother to make the
Aleena portrait part of a pair. (Sigh) I just
know he's going to be wearing chain mail...and fur...probably fur.
If you would like to have your portrait painted, please contact
