Description The 1st of the 3 sentinels for my afterlife story, Deathmask (see sketches of the 3 sentinels for more details), Snowflower of the Ermine clan, the 64th in a long line of judges who decide what job(s) humans entering the afterlife should do to "work off their years of corruption" and for how long. That funny rod in her hand is their world's equivalent of a gavel. If or when I get around to coloring this, her clothes will be several shades of teal, gold, & white around the collar. Her hair is white, her eyes are blue, & her mask will be black, blue, & yellow on a white ground (all 3 sentinels will have black on white with the 2 primary colors on their masks that make the secondary color dominating their clothing).
& yes, I deliberately tinted the drawing teal as a reminder to myself.

I decided the language for this world would be spoken in English but written in an elliptical derivation of Cyrillic, with Greek letters to add consonants not seen in Cyrillic (e.g., theta for a "th" sound). I wrote it vertically for more efficient use of space since the letters are wide. At the top, I show the transliterations from English to Cyrillic to my version.

This one is really a complicated one. It's very difficult to achieve, people will take for granted it is some kind of dog or kitten if you don't draw her with the animal. The mask came out really well.

Thank you. So, for once I actually achieved subtlety!
That's something for me since I'm the kind of person who usually can't see or use any gestures more subtle than the most basic & pronounced facial features.
