Request - Ariana, 1st Form — Description
Here is the first picture of the 3-pisture request I took as my job some time ago, and it was the first of this kind. The working on this has been fun, interesting, and though it has taken time (from original pencil sketches to the inked version and finally the coloured pics), I have enjoyed it a lot ^^
The character here belongs to OliverTriscuit, and I thank you (yet again ^^") for asking me to do this job ^^

Background:
The character here is called Ariana Lamport. For some time she used to work in one of Raccoon City's bioengineering labs closely connected with the Umbrella, but out of order by teh company she was transferred away before Raccoon City was overrun by the zombified T-Virus victims and eventually destroyed.
While emplyed by the company, Ariana worked her way up through it, reaching for the innermost research-circles. However, while in this, a rather unpleasant accident occured, and she got infected by one of the most priced secrets of the Umbrella - an almost forgotten, small vial containign the sample of T-Veronica Virus, whose research had been abandoned and eventually lost due Alexia Asford's disappearance and the loss of vital data.

The T-Veronica, upon the infection, caused damage to Ariana's immune system, but peculiarly enough it soon fell into state of stasis, the virus burying itself within the cells of its host and lying dormant against all usual expectations. The unfinished study of T-Veronica and near non-existent data of it (destroyed and held away by the Ashfords before Alexia's disappearance) couldn't thus explain it in any other way (which sounded horrifically unscientific but marks well the nature of the viruses overall) than saying that the virus was biding its time until it could bloom in its full glory.

Naturally, Ariana was shocked and horrified of the mere thought of the Virus and the possible effects, and she plunged into deep work of finding a vaccine to it. She used the previous T-Virus forms and yet untested variations of the same virus as the base where she engineered the formula of the cure, hoping that it would solve the threat of T-Veronica in her for good.

However, as the vaccine was completed and she tested it, the yet unstable viral forms served a a catalyst for the T-Veronica. The different viral forms reacted together in unexpected way, triggering series of physical and mental mutations in Ariana.
Here is the first result of those mutations.

Since I'm now back at my studies, I have less free time, but I have already coloured the second form, and am working with its background and the possible colours of the third form.
And I'm *still* confused by the category system, so forgive me if I've categorized it weirdly ^^"
