Nantosuelta - Warden of Nature

Designed for a contest entry, Nantosuelta represents the elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. She was tricky to design, trying to roll all the elements into one pony without making her tacky, but this is what I decided on in the end. Not too busy or crazy; simple yet powerful and elegant at the same time.

I wanted to try a lot of new things here I have never done before in digital art. Detailed textures (stone surface), more realistic hair (lessons learned for next time!), and more shading work.

I might give her a pretty background soon :3
