This character was drawn in pencil, I think on a piece of lined note-book paper. I have no idea how I managed to remove the lines. After she was drawn, I scanned her on my computer and colored her using photoshop. I was trying to go for a colored- pencil look, except around the edges where I was inexplicably drawn to play with the filter effects in photoshop. I think the only thing I like about the picture are the vines/flowers. It's very obviously not realistic, and I wish I could claim I was going for a stylized version, but actually this was just one of my very first drawings. ;)

Brin was also a character for an online RPG called "Dark and Shattered Lands." She was a very serious and motivated character and heavily involved in politics. Sometimes this was fun to play, sometimes not. I think the seriousness does show through on the picture..

I wrote tons of stories for this character back in 1997-9, but unfortunately, I was not very good at keeping track of them!!:( For the most part I composed them online in the game and never saved a copy for myself =(.
