Niana The Mage

Niana is a Mage. It’s not known if she obtained her mystic powers through formal training as a wizard does or if her powers come to her innately.

She wields a Warstaff, an item generally carried by magic users in the service of the military, yet Niana has no fealty to any military organization.
Her most recognizable aspect, another than her apparent youth and beauty, is the tiny red dragon often perched upon her shoulders.  Well, tiny that is compared to one of its gargantuan relatives. It’s a wonder that someone so good could befriend a creature of such potential evil.

The original drawing was done on a piece of paper 14 x 11.5 inches in size. The figure itself is about 11.5 inches tall. I used 0.5 and 0.7 mechanical pencils and used a few other tricks but I ain’t tellin’ what they are.
