Frost was kind enough to write a little scene for his character here:
Alone on a ridge a figure sat motionless. Her head tilted back to look up at the sky. Her eyes glowed a soft, sapphire blue in sympathy to the moon. Clouds rolled by, rumbling ominously with thunder. Even in their shadow she could clearly see the sprawling valley before her, dotted with pine. She lifted her head a little higher to see above the clouds, where the distant stars glittered like diamonds. Her cowl slipped back, resting in a heap about her shoulders, exposing her soft black ears to the cool night wind. In the near distance she could hear the growl of savage things, something she had once been herself. But that was no longer, a part of her past left behind, washed away by those waters and her snow white robes. When the rain started she rose calmly and followed the moonlight trail back to the old church. Candles burned plentifully, each a reminder of the heroic dead. She swallowed hard, putting away bitter thoughts. Her eyes turned to the window. There, in the shadow of the trees, was a darkness lurking. She was comfortable in the night. She lived in the dark, but it did not live within her...
Meet Kaidira, a warrior priestess from a novel of Frost's. Although she can take care of herself, being a werewolf assassin isn't easy! For some reason she doesn't have many friends :S A shame, because her heart is in the right place.
I think this is the fastest I've ever punched out something at this level of quality. Skipping the inking step does wonders for efficiency! Her hoodie was roughly referenced from a character in the corner of a thumbnail of a painting by Pfannschmidt, "Beweinung Christi." I can't find a link anywhere online, but if you ever run across a catalogue called "Kunstverlag Trowitzsch & Sohn, Frankfurt am der Oder" printed in 1925, you'll find it on page 17 :P Ah, the neat things one finds at antique shops for $1!

Okay it about time I get to this. I feel as though when I make mention of my intent to comment, then I don't feel as guilty for taking a long time to comment, leading me to delay my comment even more. The end result is the same guilt level, twice the delay, and half the comment quality due to forgetting what I initially wanted to say! GAH!
Ah but let's focus on the art at hand! First the contrast of colours, or lights and darks rather. A darkly coloured character and a bright white cowl; the dark starry sky above and the brightly lit candles below. If I was more artistically inclined (or wanted to sound more rambly) I could probably delve deeper into that, but I'll leave it at it's good and works well with the scene.
The realistic folds and cloth-like look to the cowl: wonderfully done. Again more colour and shadow play here that gives depth to the clothing.
And lastly, the sad werewolf. The shining sapphire eyes, the streak of tears, the hand/paw clutching at the cowl. A very natural, 'realistic', look to it, which allow more vivid emotions that can almost be empathized with just by observing, without the need for much context. Of course context is what puts it all together and finally concludes this little great Napoleon work. :)
And with that I am out of 2012 and into 2013! Progress!
