A young woman born as a living sacrifice. the tribal tattoos on her neck, wrists and ankles are quite significant; they represent the burden she must carry, like shackles on a slave. the mark above her chest is a covenant that binds her to this burden. another victim of circumstance...
The design was originally inspired by Yorda from Ico, but was later influenced by Nina from Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter as she too is a prisoner with this beautiful glow of naive purity that i was looking for. unlike Nina, i chose a more healthy look. she's a sacrifice, therefore she's meant to look presentable and not dressed in rags. a prisoner of a different sense.
Honestly...this pic gave me massive 'tunnel vision'. i spent hours adjusting the face cos it looked too young to begin with. ever the perfectionist, eh?
