Heloise d'Argenteuil was born around 1090 in modern-day France to commoner parents. In her youth, she became renowned throughout Western Europe for her intelligence and scholarship of Latin, Greek and Hebrew (at a time when women scholars were *extremely* rare). Her guardian, her uncle Fulbert, put her under the tutorship of one of the most popular philosophers and teachers in Paris, Pierre Abelard. He was intrigued by her intelligence and beauty, and quickly sought out to seduce her. He succeed and soon Heloise bore him a son, Astrolabius. Abelard tried to keep the relationship a secret so as to not damage his reputation, but Fulbert quickly caught wind of it. Enraged that Abelard would take advantage of his niece, Fulbert attacked him in his sleep. Heloise was sent to a convent, where she spent the rest of her life as a nun.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Girls, don't f*** up your life for a guy! Guys, don't do stupid things for a pretty face! (you might get attacked!)
My reference image is a painting by one of my favorite turn of the century artists, Edmund Blair Leighton. It depicts Heloise and Abelard (he has painted many medieval scenes, if you still need some inspiration for your contest skin).
If you'd like a version of this skin with her hood up, you can download that here:
Unlike my last skin, I decided to this one with fairly 'chunky' shading. There have bee a lot of popular girl skins recently with very soft, light shading and I figured PMC needed something new!
As always with contest skins, leave a diamond if you think this deserves to be in the top 100. Thanks!
