Artist's Comments

Original character... I was challenged to make a female character for a World of Darkness game (I usually play males) and here she is!

Hope Lawford, aptly nicknamed "Blue"; lead guitarist of the band Iphigenia, an indie goth/rock band of 6 members that ended rather violently due to the death of all the band members save Blue. While playing a gig one night the band were caught up in some sort of supernatural incident that resulted in a massacre and the burning down of the building.

Blue crawled out of the wreckage one day later, surviving presumably only on the strength of her freakish power to regenerate her body. Blue cannot remember clearly due to nightmares of the incident confusing her perception of imagination and reality so she is conducting her own inquiries into the matter, more often than not encountering a wall of silence.

Consumed by her need to find out what happened that night, not least because the vocalist, Ruben, was the love of her life, Blue has descended into a self-perpetuating cycle of bottling up her emotions. More than anything she hates to be seen as weak and sees perseverance and stubbornness as the way forward.

I COULD invent what actually happened to her but I would rather leave that in the hands of the Storyteller since I want to have the feeling of discovery myself. ;p

As reference I used my own photo of me because I thought the pose was very apt for Blue. In fact, the door frame was completely lifted from the photo because the texture was too awesome to pass up. In short, I only really drew Blue herself:

Thank you. ^_^ She is rather pretty, eh? Her clothes are awesome too. I don't think I've got that much better... in fact, it's been ages since I've done any colouring - hence no pictures being put up. Maybe motivation alone makes pictures better. ^_^
:iconbritt7094:
Oh wow! The moment I saw this I had to favourite it. The use of the colours works really well, it all seems soft and dream like.

Inspiration is like a bus, nothing comes for ages and then all of a sudden there are three at once!

Great job, that turned out beautiful :butterflytwo:

There's just so much beauty in the world.

^_^ Thank you. That was sort of my intention. I'm glad you like it... and I finished it quite quickly too. I guess it's just one of those pictures that was meant to be.
:iconjrock-prophet:
Thanks! This picture has made me understand Hope more... I expect I shall draw her again. :)

It's been way too long since we have seen anything from you. ^^
College sucks up a lot of time, I suppose.
I love the outfit design, blends of colors, and the light coming down.

People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define reality.

Well, this year has been really rubbish for me. My grandma was dying and then she died... I took it rather hard. The whole first half of the year, therefore, I haven't had any inspiration at all. Writers block that lasts that long just... kills. But I'm back on form now. It feels good to finally be able to get something creative out into the world.
