EXALTED's Anja Silverclaws

Here's a companion piece, more or less, to the image I posted yesterday: [link]

It's another interior illo I did for White Wolf's RPG Exalted, back circa 2009 or so, this time depicting the character "Anja Silverclaws." Rowrrr! (Medium: 3B or 4B 2mm pencil lead on linen-finish cardstock.)

The illo's marred by a strange error that I can't quite explain: Her leg doesn't line up with the rest of her torso in the manner it should, as it's too far "down" in relation to the rest of her. Odd. Well, I'll post the rough version of this piece shortly; we can then see if the error was latent from the beginning, or was something that stealthily crept into the finished version. UPDATE: And here's the rough in question: [link]

One might notice a bit of similarity to the feline character Artemis from Shirow Masamune's manga Appleseed; given that I drew her for a few covers on the American reprint of the manga (and for quite a few con sketches for furry fans, back in the day), this isn't entirely surprising.

NOTE: The original art for the finished piece is available from my art dealer (with the initial rough tossed in for free) here: [link]
