HMMM. This image didn't turn out really like what I wanted, but hey, it was something to work on for awhile.

Solais, wearing a cloak thing of feathers from her gentleman caller, Ivan. Haha, I really hate calling him her "husband" because marriage in my fantasy world is NOT really anything like marriage in this world. It has an entirely different meaning and history to it.

Ivan is this fellow: [link] (ughh shitty painting from last year. need new pix of him plz!)
Of whom I realize I have like almost no images of in my DA gallery. lol. :|

The cloak is something all Chekhele have made, it's made of their molted feathers and whatever else they find interesting, woven with fabric to make something that can be used as a cloak or a wall hanging or anything of that sort. Traditionally, each Chekhele has their own of their own feathers, woven and sewn by their own hand. They are used as keepsakes, and also can be given to another person (Chekhele or not, but they are a pretty isolated people so it's usually between themselves XD) as an invitation to become part of their close family. Usually it's an equal exchange, but since Solais here has no feathers of her own she gave him a personal necklace from her homeland of Eydna.

Blah blah blah, noonecares. Storythings! Just enjoy the pretty picture. This didn't turn out as detailed as I had hoped in my mind :( But I like it anyway, for some reason.
