Description I'm working on a new setting, largely based on the large amount of old time crime noir radio shows like Boston Blackie and The Shadow.

so here we have Riona, the female half of a pair of Detectives in a dystopian setting with overtones of the 20's/30's, both she and her lover Joe are immortal, though they go out of their way to not let other people know. this won't be Highlander, they don't absorb power by cutting off other immortal's heads or anything like that. She fills the role of the bodyguard/strongarm of the pair, while Joe (not pictured) fills the role of the puzzle solving intuitive detective. though he can hold his own in a fight (just as she's not just some dumb musclehead)

Riona can be called a bit...psycho. she's morally ambiguous, finds laws are to be followed only when it suits her, and collects knives like other women (of her time) collect shoes. she hates weakness and can be thought of as cold or heartless to those she considers to be chronic victims, though she'll show compassion for people who've been victimized through nothing else but the corrupt lawlessness of the times. she has a near pathological hatred for criminals and predators, and those who prey on the weak, and has absolutely no qualms about teaching them the error of their ways in a very permanent fashion. she's spent hundreds of years learning any form of combat she can find, and having traveled the world without any great concern about dying, she's learned an amazing amount. yes, she can kill you. yes she can do it in an evening gown and high heels, and yes she'll be out the door and in a cab before the lady you're dancing with realizes you're dead. she's that good. IF she lets you die quick.


Joe's her calming influence, and the one who keeps her from getting into too much trouble, and is the one often left to convince the police chief to overlook the occasional pile of bodies (but always only criminals)

oh she's a fun one, her character has actually changed a bit in terms of her role in the storyline, but her personality hasn't changed in the slightest. for the nanowrimo I'm going to try to put the story where she's the main antagonist...I'm somewhat concerned about writing it out though, as it's VERY disturbing and dark...and it touches on some very disturbing subjects. and in the end it's a story of revenge, pure and simple.

oh the writing it is easy...some people trying to read it...well...there are several people I know who've already said they won't read this particular story, so some people'll have to skip that part of my book

*nods* Are they reading it as proofreaders, or just for fun?

I never manage to get much in the way of proof readers. no they won't read it at all due to it's pretty horrific content

rachelillustrates In reply to Amoryl [2009-11-16 15:38:45 +0000 UTC]

Aww, I'm sorry. I'd offer to proofread it but a) I really don't have the time to spare and b) I'm a pretty big wuss too.

lol it's more of dealing with a very sensitive issue that many women have far too personal understanding of.

Ah. I thought that might be what you meant, but I didn't want to assume. What I said goes double, then, because I am one of those women.

Awesome image. I love the style of it. It appears she missing a finger, but even with that left as is it beautiful. The soft shading was a perfect way to go in this image. The anatomy is lovely and looks so natural looking. Did you use photo ref?.

Amoryl In reply to angel-wolfmaiden [2008-08-25 05:22:41 +0000 UTC]

ah, i can see where it looks like there's a finger missing...it's on the other side of the cigarette otherwise it'd fall over


i DID use a reference i believe...but I don't remember from what.

thanks, I'm hoping to work this into either a comic or an illustrated crime noir story. so I'll keep a bit of her expressions of psychoticness under wraps for now
