She looks pretty (+) cool!

The bone-harp is fitting her perfectly!

Great artwork as ever!

=^.^=

Excellent. Great details as always. And woot, hyenas! Maybe you could do a seires of pics like that. Bone musicians and so forth... um, maybe not that title.

Oooo I like the idea of a piper. Though Pipe of Bone does sound pretty suggestive:) I've added it to my list of ideas so it might get done for FC.

Marrow Flute might be better.
Unless, of course, you want it to be suggestive...

Excellent, as always. I am glad to see someone who knows that not all hyenas are spotted (a slight peeve of mine - I am more bothered by people who think all cattle are holsteins).

Being a D&D geek, I'll think of this as an excellent representation of a gnoll bard (from a more advanced tribe than those depicted in the rules).

My string-and-Dixie-cup dial-up didn't show the thumbnail, so when I saw the title, I thought it might be a treatment of the Celtic ballad about the two sisters. One sister murders the other out of jealousy. In some versions the murdered sister is turned into a swan first, but in any case, her bones and hair end up being made into a harp. When it is brought into the presence of the wicked sister, the harp plays by itself, and the murdered sister's voice sings the sad tale. Have you illustrated this story? - I know you do many wonderful fantasy themes.

I've certainly draw swan maidens though not that one in particular. Loreena Mckennet does a great version of the classic sister's tale.

Oh I like the idea of a Gnoll Bard. That's so perfect:)

I like Loreena McKennitt. I have several of her albums, and have listened to some others, but I either missed that one, or have forgotten it. I'll have to look into that.

I don't remember where I first heard the tale. I remember reading a fantasy short story rendering of it, but don't remember what collection it was in. Recently I have come across two song versions. One is by Méav on her _Silver Sea_ album. The other is by Trasna, a local band here in Northern Virginia on their album _blueridgecelticfusion_. It is a trimmed down version without the bone harp aspect.

At the risk of contradicting myself, since I just said this was a less savage tribe, Unearthed Arcana has a Savage Bard variant with a more druid/barbarian flavor.

Now we just need to get her to play for the Summer and Winter Sirens ;)

You multi-media peices are some of my favorites.
For some reason they 'feel' like they have more depth (though that could just be how you did those paticular pics).

D.O.P.R

Looks awesome! Great design^^
