I just realised that I never actually posted in this thread myself.
Bad Sa' :(

Anyways... I set out on a search to find my avatar and the artist. It took years, and I do mean years quite literally (on and off though). I found the original artwork about a month or so back :joy
http://vnmedia.ign.com/nwvault.ign.com/fms/images/portraits/2070/1114986268_fullres.jpg

Sadly, I couldn't ask the artist for permission, since they're old boards and the profiles aren't clickable. So I went stalking - believe me, I really did do this. I joined about 4 CG sites, and searched two others, where the NW art is still circulated in the hopes that something would turn up. It did. I found her, messaged her, and was granted permission to do as I pleased with it.
I do love my makeover avvie, but now that I've found the original, I know I do feel better using it as is. So yeah, this is my face :D

Awesome, Momma! And not as scary, to boot! Can we see a full-res image of the artwork? :)

Beautiful, Mother! Though yes, a bit dark and hard to see the details. It looks gorgeous, though. Very regal for the Amyrlin. :)

That'll need some time to get used to, Viv, but it's pretty. :D Although, it really is very dark and hard to see.
