Yeah, that's pretty much my sense of humour. I laughed when it popped into my head, which is why I had to doodle it.

yes, a bit too metallic looking (or too blue, I've always like how the water would sparkle with the light just right but I don't remember it being quite that colour). I think too the texture stretch on the hill makes the water stand out too much?

The water does not look right, as you suggest, too metallic and too blue. On the other hand I do love the look something that could be used in sci fi without a problem.

I didn't think of that but the PoV could be a big factor. If the PoV was higher though I would expect to see some of her legs through the water, at least close to the surface.
Wonderful wonder lighting!

Thanks but most the lighting comes with the scene although I have added a couple of area lights to blend certain aspects of the scene.

I was trying to use cycles to get that water, and I overdid something and can't figure out what it was. I know someone on these forums posted a cycles shader for water, but I can't find it now to reproduce it. This was going on what I could remember of the shader. I guess I missed something in there.
And if you have ever been on the Pacific ocean you would see that color blue. Where I messed up is that is very deep water that shows that color. Closer to shore and more shallow water would be more of a lime green.

Not quite sure. The boots look brighter (more primary color) than the rest of her red. I think your vision works better. Perhaps add some piping at the top of the boots or star or stripes to jazz them up a bit. I know you're not trying for sexy but practical.

Sorry I've been away for a bit. Family matters and such.
That fulfills the challenge! I was thinking something more subtle but different artists think in different ways of presenting the same thing and this just commands my attention. A second look and this is more subtle than Caohime's giant portrait. We also see the image of Turlough in the portrait. A reflection of himself while staring at his better half.

I hope the family matters were sorted and everything is fine now.
I guessed that the render was not exactly what you had in mind but I thought I might be able to use it in the book and it was sort of correct at least as the description was laid out if not in the spirit. It looked simple and it is except for the lighting and the reflectivity of the glass, I wanted the texture of the painting to show but still grab enough of Turlough's reflection. I was pleased at how that part turned out.
