Rags And Riches

The Absolute Worst

Something that I had concepted an eternity ago for Messi, but we never got around to actually doing and was eventually forgotten.
Doing that little promo piece the other week revived some memories and I decided I like the character and concept so much I wanted to do this piece, even if it was no longer relevant to the publication it was intended for. For those of you familiar with HSD, you might actually recognize her from the Sound and Silence lore book as the Queen in Rags.
For those unfamiliar with HSD, the most recent kickstarter, HSD 2.0 : mastered, got funded just the other week, so nows as good a time as any to get acquainted.
blue borders, because I know y'all don't gaf about general audience :bCharacters are © to Messi

... this should be interesting.
I have exactly one group and we're on warbirds ATM so I doubt we'll be doing HSD for a while.
You sly fox)
Though, I mostly check general actually. This one took by surprise with Blue border
Though, as person below said, there is a possibility of getting picture down as well as getting a warning for wrong label.
But, again, I doubt this would happen)
You did great)
Very, very nice work, despite the character ;)
Your art gets my attention regardless of the border colour; some of your most moving pieces are not explicit and sit authentically in the 'General' category. Much of the power of your art resides in the emotions you spark in the viewer's imagination, in what is hinted at but not shown. *Nods to the artist in respect and admiration.*
Thank you very much for the praises. I do agree that many of my better works are GA, but I have in my (relatively long) time on this site noticed a steep difference in stats between white and blue borders (not so much between blue and red). We are a rather predictable bunch, for the most part, and I've decided I'm not above exploiting that.
Having said that, I'm glad that the core intent behind my artwork still remains it's core value aswell. Emotion and evocation is what I want to have as the centerpiece of what I produce, regardless of the subject matter, so thank you in particular for boosting that and enjoying my stuff <3

Thanks a bunch for sharing! I love it!
Fluffy fox, in white! Texture on the chair (throne?) Can see stars through the transparent frame from the portal window. Focus, depth, shading on the draped cloth!
Respect!
In the short story I was provided for flavor, she was sketched out as a powerful, secretive, underworld boss who has a score to settle with society, though it was only alluded at, not directly mentioned, as the story had a entirely different context. Since it's propietary material I obviously can't post it, but Messi generally has a lot of interesting lore in the HSD universe.
