Chlorr of the Mask - about 50 mins.
Chlorr of the Mask from Garth Nix's book, Lirael. I'm not sure if this is how Nix imagined her or wether this even fits the description in the book (I don't have it with me to check) but this is the image I have in my head. It's one of those times when I have such a vivid image, I have to get it down on paper - or rather pixels. I'm quite pleased with the end results.
[EDIT]No, as I suspected, completely wrong. I re-read her description when I got home and from that I got that firstly she's supposed to be quite obviously female. No mention of a red cloak, she wears furs common to Northerners, has bone rings on silken gloves and her neck and edges of her head are visible around the dull bronze mask - not gold or brass mask as I've painted.
Still, not to worry. I quite like my version even if it's completely inaccurate.[EDIT]
