“Who the hell-waters does she think she is?” Vivia demanded.

“Well,” Stix said, “she probably thinks she’s the Empress of the Flame Children, Chosen Daughter of the Fire Well, the Most Worshipped of the Marstocks, Destroyer of the Kendura Pass-”

“And?”

“And she’s used to people doing her bidding.”   

Vivia scoffed. “I could have just as many titles too, if I wanted them.”

I never thought I’d be drawing Her Holiest of Holies, but after 3 books I finally got her.  Or she got me.  I love how @stdennard can turn your perception of a character on its head in a matter of pages.  The quality of this is unfortunately abysmal as it originally started off as practice with my brushes on a tiny canvas.  I liked it too much to scrap it and I know myself well enough to know that trying to replicate it from scratch on a bigger canvas would have ended in misery.

‘‘white strips of cloth draped a thousand ways over the woman’s bronze skin, and her dark hair tumbled over the bold exposure of her right shoulder...[Safi] appreciated the bored dip in the young woman’s shoulder. the flat expression of a person who had better places to be and more meaningful things to do”

- First description of Empress Vaness, from  Truthwitch by Susan Dennard.

Do you come across those moments when someone’s description is so vivid you have to draw them, then promptly fall in love?
