Description

Third and probably most accurate attempt to render the ambiguous andf ambivalent assassin/underworld enforcer from my old scifi/fantasy prose series, previously depicted here:

InformedDissent - Coldly concept II

For some reason I drew it on A2, probably fearing such a 'dynamic' pose wouldn't fit on A3, and so it took over a year, on and off, because of 0.5mm mechanical pencil leads. Proportions seem a bit odd but the character is a bio-engineered freak (was once a charming country girl, in a Thomas Hardy-esque rustic society...yeh, that old series of stories had a wild array of influences), and by this time she's pushing seven feet tall. Facially she was inspired by the MTV heavy metal hostess Vanessa Warwick, but when I created the AI series of these characters recently it was Laura Dern who got the casting call, being already a naturally lanky individual, and with an astonishingly powerful profile ;)

Edit: Just realised the tiny reference at the very bottom to 'Garg hide boots', which are mentioned in the text, somewhere. Last time I checked there was nearly 250k words of this stuff written, and that's not even the complete trilogy...
