Interesting. The dress itself seems quite formal and subdued in color, but the pointed cuffs and especially the orange part of the hair give an edge to it, an almost punk-like feeling.
I wonder if i'm not mistaking the purple for hair while actually being a furred hood or something.
Interesting techniques on the shading and especially the lighting on the hair and eyes! Very neat background too, the serpentine blue streaks help selling that distressed and intense feeling.
Was there ever any story to this character, if it's alright to ask?
