This beautiful piece of Ryaden art was created by Neko No Baka. Ryaden is another very popular character to fan-art-ize [I made a word!], and Neko's depiction of Ryaden here is beautiful and warm. There's a caution in her eyes, though, and a touch of sadness about her, that feels very true to the character in Arc II. It's an interesting contrast to Neko's lighter depiction of Nathan. And I love the vivid plums and purples against her skin, and against that soft tawny background. Squee!

Many thanks to Neko for another awesome piece of art. You can find more of her work at Amhelaki Misadventures.
