*______________* I's proud of this one...

You all know I love to find "actors" for my characters, and well, a while back, ~MillieBee told me that every time she watches Vampire Diaries she could picture Nina Debrov as Manasa and (as an avid watcher of the show myself <.<) As soon as I thought of it I had a fit of joy! She's my favorite human representation of Manasa I've ever seen! In a perfect world, she'd play Manasa in the movie ;D

I used this picture of Nina as a reference for this portrait ~~>[link] (I realize the only real thing that changed is her eye color, but that's because Nina is just perfect!!!) ...I really need to do a picture of Mana smiling >.>;;;

But other than that, this was totally digitally done, about 15 hours in photoshop, and the new pride and joy of my artistic portfolio ^^

*Edit - ~WishIWould pointed out, (and it's true!) I changed her face shape and nose a little to be more Manasa-tastic ^^ Heehee!
