Ce'Nedra leads the Battle of Thull Mardu

This half-Dryad character was taken from the Belgariad series of novels by David Eddings. Married to Belgarion, Overlord of the West, she is forced to take on the role of leader in the epic battle of Thull Mardu, while Belgarion is away. My brother said he had images of her as "an annoying thing with curly hair" while reading the books, but I always saw her as having a fiercely determined streak (and I don't know where he got the 'curly hair' from). At the time of the battle she did not know if her husband was alive or dead and I tried to put that into the cold expression on her face. I want to re-do this picture when I have the skill to do a decent battle background.
