This was one of my favorite topics for the Exalted Art Challenge I participated in during October. Inspired by the Exalted TTRPG from Onyx Path Publishing, this art event always gives me an excuse to experiment with new techniques and styles. For this topic, I got carried away with the idea of Chiaroscuro glass. These remnants of the magnificent buildings of the city of old Chiaroscuro magically retain their luster and strength and are usually used for armor, weapons, and other utilitarian purposes. But I figure why not armor AND a gown for my gal, Kalara? This practice piece represents a new style I've been attempting to evolve with soft vs hard elements a la Klimt/Tarot. - Watch a timelapse of this piece [here](https://youtu.be/bQDvZPv0hkQ) - See the full Exalted Art Challenge prompt list [here](https://twitter.com/TheUncrucified/status/1575523886032117761?s=20&t=mTVPr8hhcmu2AEMhytCEUg)
