FanArt: Tarma shena Tale'sedrin

If you've ever read the Vows and Honour duology, or any of the Tarma and Kethry stories, by Mercedes Lackey, you know exactly who this is. This is my interpretation of that wonderful Shin'a'in Swordsworn, Tarma. For those of you who don't know, the Shin'a'in are a nomadic race of people created by Ms. Lackey. Tarma swore herself the Warrior face of her goddess in order to avenge the slaughter of her Clan, Tale'sedrin. She is also sworn oathsister to Kethry. Though most Shin'a'in prefer bright colours, the Swordsworn wear muted browns, or black when on bloodfeud or ceremonial combat. And yes, fans, I am aware that she's supposed to have many small braids. I'm just not that good. *grin* And don't mind the hands... And yes, I'm aware I put the apostrophe in the wrong place on the original... Tarma and the Shin'a'in are copyright Mercedes Lackey, and no infringment is intended. I've babbled long enough. Here she is:

30 Aug 2002	The Mouth of Sauron	Loading... Tarma rules! Tarma kicks butt! Tarma - er, sorry about that, I get carried away. Anyways, I really like this pic - it's just so - Tarma, you know? It feels like Tarma, it looks like Tarma, it IS Tarma. You think you could do some other Lackey characters? Please?
7 Sep 2002	Mira cash-davis	Loading... the hands look fine to me. and i LOVE her smile.
17 Apr 2003	Shadowflame	Loading... Oh, whoa, this is a beyond great interpretation of Tarma! The clothing is cool, too. And the expression . . . can I worship you?
17 Feb 2004	Mirrorwind	Loading... She's perfect. Her expression is great, and her plain clothing are perfect, and....Whhhoooo!!! IT IS WONDERFUL! You captured Tarma pefectly. I like the way she isn't unrealistically beautiful like most warrior women, she looks like Kal'ed'ain. (Spelling? Crazy Shin'a'in apostrophes...)
4 Apr 2004	Goddessecho	Loading... Tarma and Kethry have to be two of the all time coolest characters ever, you captured them both exactly how I saw them in my head I just wish Misty Lackey had or would write more about them(wistful sigh)
22 May 2004	Brianne M. Hellyer	Loading... Laughs She looks as if she is facing down old(well young) King Raschar when the pair first arive in the Rethwallen Court. And I agree with K.Duran, you should do Talia...and Dirk( together) and Keisha and Darian (together as well)
30 May 2004	G. K. Hansen	Loading... The face is absoultely perfect.
24 Jun 2004	Anonymous	Loading... I'm sure lots of other people have mentioned this, but I must say it again... Tarma rocks! And your depiction of her is amazing. It's exactly how I've always envisioned her.
17 Nov 2004	Elf Chic	Loading... I totally agree with some of the comments above. Tarma rocks! But what many people don't see is that Tarma loves children. You would go kick someoone's butt if they murdered your entire clan and you were helpless basically. And then on top of that she wakes up after the raid staring into the face of her dead little sister. I hope you do more drawings like this. PLEASE will you, pretty please, draw Alberich. I am so hooked on that guy. His story is so sad. At least at first. I mean he was betrayed by his own country.
23 May 2006	Alex	Loading... !!!!! Good pic! Tarma is my fave character...are you gonna do Keth or Jadrek or Jadrie or anything???
