Description
A quick reference sheet I put together for Violet. It's not particularly extensive, but it has all the important details in there.This is actually the first time I've drawn her new outfit in something finished as opposed to various sections of it. I really like how the colours work together
I'll probably do a more complete one at some point. For now though, if you need more detail as to what does what on her outfit you can check these out:

I'm looking forward to a more detailed ref sheet, the story about how the bell keeps her in check sounds interesting.
All in all this is great, and I love the colour scheme.
Keep up the amazing work.

And I say her new colors makes her more malicious and more scarier? But I say it fits her.

Really cool palette! Dark purple with neutrals. What is her rare mental condition?

Copy/pasta, coming at ya!
I was vague about it, but the condition is called Feral Psychosis. It's similar in some loose ways to Mowgli Syndrome, though it tends to be more dormant until triggered through high levels of adrenaline. At that point, the condition can take effect rather suddenly and is often painful. Kinda like all the neurons in the brain firing in overdrive. The following symptoms shuld be fairly apparent, the most prevalent being a lot of self restraint usually manifesting in violence.
Violet's a trained killer. She dislikes not being in control of her own actions, though.
As for the bell; it doesn't actually make an audible ringing sound. It's a mechanical device more than a typical bell, and it emits a particular frequency that helps keep her in check. It gets strong with motion, which serves to counter the effects of adrenaline produced through physical exertion (adrenaline being the trigger for the condition).

Awesome bell idea x)

Ahh <3 Very nice, man. The questions I had have already been answered so I'll just say that the design is solid and that I'm jealous of your turn-around skills. XD

What is the light gray reference colour for the Devil's Bell? I don't see it on there.

Always nice to see more on White Shadow.
I'm not fan of Violet, but she have always a nice style.

Nice! Solid design man, especially the outfit. It's got that personal flair that you bring to your work, but still has the overall important "stealth" look/feel to it. Loving her.

I fail to see how someone can be stealthy while carrying a bell around their neck. Purpose of bells on cats and sheep is to give away their location.
But otherwise this is a great character design. I greatly admire your style, dunno if I've said that before.

It doesn't actually make an audible ringing sound. It's more of a mechanical device that emits a particular frequency. Movement of the bell can amplify the frequency (i.e. motion or striking), which works for her as as condition can be triggered with adrenaline.
Glad you like it though, thanks very much

another great piece! awesome stuff!

I would've assumed a chick who goes around slinging swords and knives would have a bit more muscle on her upper body, but otherwise she has a very lean gymnast physique. I'm sure this will be useful reference to have handy for others as well as yourself.

Wow this is really good! Excellent character design. I like the idea of the bell helping keeping her mentally stabilized

You seem to have skimped on the details of that "mental condition" and how that bell keeps it in check.

I'll leave that for now. When I get to doing a more finished ref sheet it'll have all her info. I've mentioned it in some of the sketch dump though, I think.
Basically, the condition is called Feral Psychosis.

I think that gives me a general idea of its symptoms... but how does the bell help?

Interesting, that give a basis for an clever weakness. Like a mass of cat bells sending her into a catatonic state.
