SciFi and Fantasy Art Sheera and Cael by Jenny M. Heidewald

The fourth in the series I am doing for Camilla. I had more trouble with this one, first the pose then the colors, but it turned out in the end. Here is a bit of background information:

"The House of Shen is becoming a most influential family in Dimension 13. To the people of this world, little of their origins are known, only that prominent nobles and religious figures were born unto them.

It began with Cael, Jin-Shen and Sheera. Two brothers and a sister arrived through the mists. According to their people's custom, Sheera is Jin-Shen's bride, also. The Nameless are a race that is dying out. Many of them marry their own siblings to assure purebred children. Soon after his arrival, Jin-Shen was named Duke of Anyas, the land they joined, a position he later gave up in favor of becoming the warrior of the light elemental deities.

Babes speaking wisdom of the ages is not something well understood, so it is quickly that the little Nuria grew. The racial memory was strong in her, as it was in her brothers and sisters to follow. Imagine, if you will, being aware of most everything your ancestors were. This is something any Nameless learns to live with. Although they grow up fast, once they reach the healthy age of maturity, they begin to age much slower than a human. Unless killed, they will live forever. Unfortunately, so many die.

Sheera also gave birth to Khal Shen Eyreas, Jin-Shen's son, during that war, as well as Cael's daughters and son, Myriamel Cela Waeder, Niyati Cela Waeder and Vani Cela Waeder.

Happiness did not last forever. Jin-Shen was murdered by Valash Deraeon, and Sheera succumbed to the racial madness. The women of the Nameless, when they reach maturity, acquire a symbiote imprisoned in the arcane symbols on their nails. This drives them to do things they would not normally do. Trimming the nails before the symbiote can take root stalls it, and the influence of a deity can curb it. Sheera wasn't lucky enough to control it."

This picture is not to be used for character portraits, avatars, tubes, or any such thing.
