This was a treat to illustrate. I just purchased a reference book of samurai armor. I just could not resist trying it out in a drawing. I've always drawn an armor-clad faun race, and only recently decided to try giving them samurai-inspired armor. Yllandra, here, is supposed to be their ruler. Battle-aged and stern, she easily commands an army of men.
Design Constant: female faun warriorDesign Variables:fauns in mythical lore are often depicted as peaceful, music-loving creatures. Mostly influenced by character designs in Narnia, Yllandra's design was my representation of this race as a more war-driven folk.
