I was inspired to draw this picture after reading "Chainfire" of "The Sword of Truth" novels. "Chainfire" really touched my heart and gave me the feeling that I know Cara. Terry Goodkind is extremely talented and his characters are very alive in every book he's written so far but with Cara in "Chainfire", he's really outdone himself.
In my years of drawing, I've never been inspired to do fan art. I always do my own characters but Terry has opened doors in my artwork.
Critisism:
Here's the one thing I've noticed wrong with the picture. The proportions are exact and on the money with the model that I used ut on her right arm, I botched the shading a bit and it seems to make her arm a bit too small. Mistake noted.
Thanks for the comment anaesthetic I think the only reason I went with a shorter agiel is that after reading about
what Denna did to Richard, it eases the mind abit to imagine it a little smaller
And as for the sun/moon logo, when I drew this I was sure about the whole copyright thing and if it would be ok to
make it so obvious this was Cara. After all, Anne McCaffrey persecutes those who draw her stuff. Maybe I'll add
the logo in now that I've learned Terry supports fan art.

I think the head is much too big. At first it seems to me as if the head doesn’t fit to the rest of the body. The expression of the face is nice.
For me the body properties could be much better. For example: The arms and the hands don’t really fit together, because the arms look to short in front of the arms.
Thanks for the the comment Adlerlrene. Now that it's been quiet awhile since drawing the picture, I find it easier to see what other people do about misproportion on this one. It is definately though, a matter of shading. The drawing had a real life photo model and as for the overall shape, size, and proportions... I'm right on the mark. The problem is that the photo was from slightly above perhaps which adds to the larger head people are getting at. The rest is totally a matter of not enough shadow. Had I done it properly, it would make it easier to see that the head is closer to the camera and the feet farther away. I mentioned something about this in the description I believe. Thanks for taking the time to point things out... best wishes
