Description Hoping to catch 's Dragon Jam before it closes, I've kinda rushed this one through a bit ... but that doesn't mean I cut any corners, mind. I worked my ARSE off on this, and I hope it shows.

This is, of course, my unnamed Dragon girl ... who now HAS a name, and a character and back-story. I'm definitely putting her in Turncoat, and while she may not show up in Book One she's almost certainly destined for a prominent role later on. I'm getting to like her already.

Kesla Maav Dirol Gremm, a "young" Dragon warrior in her prime, and a face from Nemo's past. She fights for the Dark, but like most Dragons raised on this side she's not really one of the bad guys - she's honourable, courageous and compassionate, even though she's also pretty fÂŁ$%ing lethal on the battlefield (ALSO typical of your average Dragon). I've presented her here in (pretty much) her full armour (although I'm considering adding a more flattering breastplate when it comes to the finalised design of her combat gear), and NO, she's NOT really wearing a dress, it's more like a kilt really. The male Dragons wear 'em in battle too ... and not much underneath, either ...

Meanwhile I'm pretty pleased with how smoothly this design came together. It's a pretty fair representation of demon armour, kind of timeless looking but mostly functional, and her weaponry's pretty typical of your standard demon warrior (or ANGEL warrior, for that matter), from the heavy-duty Dark Ages style broadsword to the gladius style shortswords. And I'm PROPER TRIPPING 'bout how I'm doing with my digital colours now ...

I was gonna say about her attire: William Wallace, here we go!!

Yeah she definitely has that bad-ass appearance. And those Storm eyes? Wicked!

They're kinda like the Fury eyes in reverse, aren't they?

To be brutally honest she wouldn't REALLY have her cleavage exposed like that, I just did that for the effect. Designing the OFFICIAL armour for Kesla there's CERTAINLY gonna be a breastplate too ...

We can pretend the upper part of her torso gear got knocked off during combat. There's always that possibility.

Sure, sure; gotta draw what appeals to us. I myself rarely ever draw a woman in a turtleneck.

Not saying a girl HAS to flash her tits to grab my attention. I've got a great imagination, after all ...

Indeed, I can envision quite a lot myself. BUT, hormones still play their hand.

But of course. We are red-blooded hetero males after all ...
