"´Pellaz - 2008´" by Elizabeth Holgate

This is Pellaz from Storm Constantine's Wraeththu series. He's the narrator of the first book and ends up being Tigron (King) of Immanion. Wraethuthu are hermaphrodites that emerged from the decline of humanity and are capable of magic and a good deal of things humans were not.

This picture represents Pell once Cal (his lover) has confronted Thiede, the First Wraeththu, and the golden strings in his hands are supposed to represent the puppeteer's strings cut. He was a particularly tricky character to work on because I had to try and get the balance of masculine and feminine right, and Storm's physical descriptions of him are rather sparse

This was drawn in pencil and painted in Paint Shop Pro 7 with a Wacom tablet.
