Mal

Share

This is Mal, she's a music-junkie slayer vixen. Mal has a very laid-back attitude and open personality. She's hopelessly devoted to wasting her life as an arena fighter, because the rush of slaying her opponents gives her something to feel other than despair. She's pretty much given up hope on having a good life, despite being such a young age. As one who believes her music speaks for her, a lot of the music she listens to is close to her heart and she takes it very seriously.

With that said, she has a unique blade, custom built for her. It's made out of a very light-weight alloy that is extremely sharp and durable. She is also able to sync her media player to her blade via blue-tooth connection. It's a trivial feature, but to her it means the world. With her media player sync'd, her blade's neon lights will pulsate to the beat of her music and the electronic display on both sides of the blade will display the artist name and song title of what it is she's listening to.

Most days she spends alone in the industrial areas of High Allor, where the skies seem more blue due to the dense atmosphere surrounding the manufacturing plants. It's not the most healthy of places to hang out, but she's not one to care about her immediate health - as noted by her cigarette addiction.

But don't let her hopeless romantic persona fool you, she is a highly skilled fighter. Some believe she was taught by her father, before his passing, in the ways of blade combat and self-defense. It is rumored that her father was an underground mercenary who had routinely taken on high-profile and confidential assignments.
Her kdr is pretty high, let's just say.

Great piece! I really love her hair. It looks like you were bringing focus to her with a subtle, stylized vignette....but it kind of bugs me that her hair has so much "shadow" on top of her head. It makes me confused on where the light source is because of the shadows on her head and those covering her legs. Maybe I just don't like vignettes lol Just my opinion though ^_^

Rhunyc responds:

Thank you! The reason to that is the light cuts off mid chest, there's something above her off-canvas that is blocking the light at an angle to keep from her whole head getting lit. The ones covering her legs are from the sword blocking the light as well. :D

But after re-looking at it, I can see why that doesn't make too much sense, that was just my initial thought and I rolled with it, haha.

I appreciate the review though!

bravo sir bravo...

Rhunyc responds:
