Introducing Nell, an OC who has a very special place in my heart.
She's a character quite literally more than a decade in the making - ever since I first put pen to paper back in my early teens, Nell has always had a headlining role in my stories, and this is the first time she's been put out there for all to see. She's evolved a ridiculously large amount since her conception, going from a royal guard in a fantasy story, to a Mobile Suit pilot, to a scrappy rebel soldier, and now in her latest incarnation, she's a rough desert raider... oh yeah, and she's an anthro pony now too! She's made the leap into a whole new species now!
This version of Nell was actually created for a friend's furry-centric sci-fi space opera, and while that glorious story will probably never be written, I couldn't pass up the chance to have my long time leading lady as part of something so fun and ambitious.

I had written a huge narrative segment to introduce her in more style, but sadly, my computer crapped out on me and I lost the whole thing... (save early, save often, kids!) So, maybe I'll come back and do it again properly, but right now I'm too spent to try and write it all again ^^;

If you're interested in seeing more of her, all of the various edits of this picture will be available on Tumblr (NSFW warning!):
