queensthiefI'm making a pair of earrings. It seemed like a good idea to do Attolia and Attolis mini-figures... but I'm not sure what sort of symbol she might hold in her hand.
As you can see, Gen has an elaborate cuff and hook and his feather-shaped scar (is it in on the correct side?) and while I originally thought Attolia looked fine as-is, further reflection suggests her design is a bit plain despite headdress and ruby earrings. I'm hoping y'all will have a clever suggestion or three for me!

Date: 9/5/12 05:36 pm (UTC)I agree with TG. First thing that popped into my head were lilies!

And I second (third? fourth?) the idea of the lilies.

Date: 9/6/12 09:28 pm (UTC)Lilies are the popular choice, so that's what I think I will do.

Date: 9/6/12 09:32 pm (UTC)The wine goblet is an excellent idea, but I think I will go with the slightly more popular lilies. Unless I can't draw a lily. :)

Date: 9/8/12 12:04 am (UTC)mimic the cuff-design Gen has on his sleeve at the bottom of Attolia's body, so it looks like a hem. That way you get a nice parallelism between them.
Just a thought! Above posters' lily idea is more symbolicly appropriate, though, n I figure that's what you're going for!
