About
Lyss, Light of the Forest. This is a fantasy character created by Soo AKA "Dethray". I borrow his character to do a rendition using my style.

As you can see, it's done in 2001 after my service for the army ended. I join a USA-based art forum and surprisingly met a few fellow Singaporean artists (Dominic"Madscuzzy" and Soo"Dethray"). Dethray allow me to redraw his "Lyss" character as a form of a "fanart".

This artwork is also my experimental work. I was initially not statified with the background, so one day I decided to get myself a Wacom Graphire Tablet. As I started experimenting the tablet, I drew a full scale forest of trees and woods from the tablet. I was so excited and happy with my result that I decied to used first drawing as the background for the "Lyss" character.

As you can see the background's abit blur, that is delibrate to create a background effect, the original forest is much sharper and clearer.

The "Lyss" character and design is copyright 2001 Soo AKA Dethray.
