A good long while ago someone who was making a game about magical girls asked for character ideas. Thinking in terms of mechanics of a power with a lot of venues for status effects I suggested a fire-breathing snake familiar and then drew the idea I had, though that time she wasn't nearly as pointy. That game's on indefinite hiatus but I liked the design so I decided to have another crack at it. Was taking some Hokusai inspiration for the linework this time, and this is one of if not the only digital drawing I've done where (almost) all the lines came before any colouring.
