Symbolic Anniversary Illustration

Job ID: 38761007

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

I want to create an illustration as an Anniversary gift for my wife. I have three very meaningful names for my wife which have significant meaning not only for her personality, but also for her calling and mission in life.

I would like to present her with a canvas of an illustration which manages to incorporate all three names into a single, symbolic artwork. I want the scene to be an epic landscape which contain the elements of all three names.

I will include the three names below and a description of each, along with the meaning. I will also include inspiration sources and further direction.

Names:
1) Desert Flower - She lived in the desert for over two years, surrounded by nothing but sand dunes and the heat of the sun. Her home is meant to be in the desert, a place that is barren and lifeless, yet she can endure the harsh environment there and thrive. However, in that place of dryness and death, she is an incredibly beautiful flower which not only grows in a place you would not expect, but also spreads life to all around her. Summary: Amongst a dry and harsh environment, beauty and life are found.

2) Warrior Princess - She is a princess through and through, royal, regal and elegant. She walks with an air and posture of someone who knows she is important, graceful, and has confidence in her position and place. She is also extremely precious, in both senses of the word. She is very precious and important to me and I desire to protect and preserve her; she doesn't like getting dirty, prefers to be spoiled and pampered and can be high maintenance with a sense of entitlement. However, whilst at times she has lived a life of a princess, she is equally an experienced and brutal warrior, capable of great power. Willing to get dirty and capable of living without, she has tremendous discipline to do what is needed and the ability to carry it out, in spite of opposition. Not afraid to bring a sword to situations that threaten life, she brings justice and truth where there is none and embraces the consequences of doing so.
Summary: Gentle, graceful & soft were possible, whilst hard, dangerous & fierce were needed.

3) Starlight Storm - She is like a tropical storm, arriving quickly and leaving just as fast. Leaving nothing unturned in it's path, it's power is destructive for the unprepared who stand in it's way. Waves form and wind blows but a peaceful and fresh calm is left in it's wake. She is herself a storm, but also she brings others through the storm. Because at the same time, she is a light that shines through and above the storm, it is the most radiant of all light - starlight. The light brings healing, guidance, peace and love to all it touches. The light of this star shines when all other lights are turned out, and there is nothing left but darkness.
Summary: A light in the darkness that shines through and from within the storm.

Sources of Inspiration & Further Direction:
>I want the scene to be focused on a character - who represents my wife based on the description above. She should have crimson red hair (which she does) and be riding a horse (as is her passion and hobby).
>The character should not only be separate from the elements (Storm, Desert, Flower, Stars), but also be encapsulated into them (for example - a trail of green forest, garden or flowers follow the character into a desert foreground).
>The character should be embodied as both warrior and princess.
>Like the character Galadriel in both The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit movies, and the newer Rings of Power show, that character has many of the above-mentioned elements.
>The Landscape should have Mountains either in the background or on the sides, perhaps forming a valley or a plain in front of a range.
>There should be desert represented in either the foreground or behind the character.
>There should be a storm which almost looks threatening but light from the stars should be clearly shining through.
>The scene should be more dusk/evening than day, night/dawn could also work.
