Thank you Berserker79 for the comments :)

As I already mentioned, Morrigan really isn't a favorite of mine, but you really outdid yourself and this piece turned out great! The details of her outfit are perfect and thanks that pose and expression the Witch of the Wilds has never looked so dangerously sexy. :D

Thank you as always Ciarán! Yes I do like her and how the colours/lighting turned out in this piece 😊

Hooooo boy! I always like Morrigan in DA:O (though she could be a bit annoyingly contrarian for no reason 😹) and this is a gorgeous rendition of the character! Immediately, this piece is extremely striking thanks to the background, the bright, blazing fire looks terrific with the black in the corner, as well as a sort of purple tone throughout the centre of the background being a nice contrast. Likewise, the black portions of Morrigan, her hair and clothes, also pop out very nicely. Morrigan's pose is a very nice one, I enjoy the subtle lean to her body and there's something playful and cheeky about how she's turning her head to look at us while fire emerges from her open hand 🔥. In the NSFW version without the skirt, she feels especially sensual now that we can see the shapes of her hips and the way her thighs close together, while the arch in her back as she pushes her breasts and stomach forward is also very appealing. Now something I absolutely adore about this piece is the lighting, the warm tones that radiate across Morrigan's right side, along with the strong contrast it creates with the darker tones on her front and left planes is so very striking and it beautifully defines her features. The contrast is especially great with her hair, skirt, right arm-band and glove as well as the reddish sash over her torso. And then there's the various textures and definition of her clothes that all look terrific, I really like the dotted, leathery surfaces of her skirt/belt, while the mix of hard edges and smooth blending on the reddish-sash look gorgeous, with both of those items of clothing popping so brilliantly with the incandescent orange glow. The golden jewellery around her neck/chest looks fantastic too with a gorgeous shine and so many little details with the edge-lighting on the rectangular shapes and the definition of the coins and beads. The hair is terrific with a nice, detailed texture, her face is especially striking thanks to the contrast between the warm glow and the shadows, while the purple, textured lips so so appealing and luscious. And then looking at the NSFW body.... oh my goodness! 🙀😍😍😍😍😍 The overall painterly but still smooth textures of the skin are so appealing, while the colours across her body are just mesmerising. Again, that bright orange/yellow glow running down one side is so beautiful, while the shadows too appear warm and pinkish/red yet still clearly contrasting with the brighter lights. The most striking areas are the length of her extended arm, her right breast, the light that cuts through her stomach's right planes as well as down her right hip and of course the right thigh itself, thanks to that amazing colour/tone contrast. And then even in those shadows there are traces of that bright yellow glow, such as at her stomach and left thigh, that act as a lovely highlight. I really can not overstate how much I adore the colours/lighting in this painting and how it affects the skin-tones, both the SFW and NSFW versions here will definitely be in my favourite paintings of yours for sure! 😻😻😻😻😻 And while I didn't go into specifics, suffice to say I think the rendering of Morrigan's anatomy looks amazing and her features and figure are so very beautiful and sensual. Absolutely amazing work on this piece! I think you should be especially proud of this one 😊 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
