Ooh, deer! A lovely animal to show. What makes her part-demon, if I may ask? :)

She inherited her demonic status. Her family was of a minor noble status in the region around Syria. Her grandmother was part of a secret religious sect who as part of their rituals would often have sex with demons. That is how Jedel's mother came into being. Her mother also carried on the tradition and as a result Jedel was born. When Jedel got to the age of about fourteen she started to manifest certain spontaneous aspects for her heritage; mainly making things catch on fire and being immune to fire herself. This caused some awkward problems for the family. After some debate it was decided that the most convinent way to deal with the problem, killing her was ruled out, was to put her under a spell and then sell her into slavery. Her travels led her to the slave market in Andur where Petina initial bought as a house servant. She is now free and serves loosely as part of the Sultan's Retinue.

Ah, very interesting backstory ^_^

That backstory makes me think of the Yezidees*, at least as they were presented in popular culture.

* -- 'The Devil-Worshippers of the Middle East'

I just love the way you draw objects, architecture and the general decor.

She looks so innocent.

Love the background.

Nice pose, and love the rendition of the garment:) Thanks for posting:)

Awesome as always!

A pretty deer i add :3:3:3

Lovely work. Very evocative of the time and place.

Love the hairstyle and clothes, looks great :)

She's a real cutie! The details, of both Jedel and her surroundings, are outstanding.

I honestly can't tell from my screen resolution, but is that a fang?

I can breathe that sky.
Very good portrait.

She is very innocent for someone who is half demon isnt she?

Also, while we are in Andur, is Hasim the elder or younger brother?

Hasim is one year older than Abdul, and yes she is really a rather free spirit who has accepted her inheritance without losing her joy of the world. I'll be posted some images though that do show her other side.

Very nice work on the lighting.

You do realize, of course, that she hasn’t been a “maiden” since her relationship with Mohammed blossomed. Technically, it’s a synonym for “virgin”.

I'm especially impressed with the handling of ther persepctive of the windows, floor and wall. Nice!

Love the background once again ^.^

So, another pic of Jedel at last! I still remember those pics in your own personal sketchbook you showed me, what, a decade ago at one of the last CFs? We met at the "Goodbye to MU Press" room party and were introed by Gerald Perkins. (RIP Jerry.)

I still love that sketchbook piece you did for me of Jedel & Ardashir. It's really lovely. But I am still hoping we get to see her in her demonic form one day.

The tremendous amounts of effort put into all of your work do not go unnoticed or unappreaciated.
