Ah, right on time! Just before the month ends at that, I managed to make something, a full color pic at that too, deciding to finish the drawing exercise, of which you saw a WIP earlier last week. And while, yeah, typically my Drawing Exercises shouldn't be tied to existing things, I suppose I did this because I hadn't any idea. Wasn't in my right mind I suppose.
So, a little story behind this for those not in the know; a few years ago, I was following livestreams of a D&D campaign, and yes, while the usual fantasy theme is not really what I enjoyed, it was more of the story threads, jokes and running gags that kept me engaged - as well as its theme; a world of sailors and pirates and all sorts of weird things. Until one certain week, a funny idea came up - a toyetic 80s cartoon version of its world, a theme I latched onto (and modernised) and became the basis of all of my fan-art of that series going forward. Regrettably I fell by the wayside for various reasons, but at the least, there's always the archives to look into.
Various characters took my interest in designing - as the GM and players deliberately gave not entirely complete descriptions of side characters, to encourage creativity and imagination, and this, even now, remains one of my favourites; Pirate Lady Zarael Zazlamel. A conniving, backstabbing, double-crossing, self-serving, heavy-drinking troublemaker, and captain of a crew of Tieflings (basically half-human, half devil/demon, of which she also is one)
Yes she's meant to be a pirate (a Hex Blade I recall in terms of character class), yet for whatever reason, it came out more like a wild west character, huh? I wanted her to be very fashionable, and show her inherent demon strength. The hat, the dress, the four barreled shooter (sorry, blaster). And some features I came to use in my depiction of other demonic characters; the hair; epic chops, hairy cleavage, and so on.

Huzzah!~ Several years after her initial inception, and she's still far from being one to be an eye-pleaser, if not, a fun and curious character with the artistic premise to do such an inception. Despite this though, as a person whose admired off the records of her looks, I'm pleased at the subtle tweaks of Zaz's original design, if mostly curious of not only what this could lead to content-wise, but maybe story-wise as well (I don't recall her having a scarring of sorts behind that luminous hair mane of hers, hmmm....).
