Description A commission for of his character I the Masque.

I, at first glance, was not a terribly intimidating person. She was only a human, after all, and a rather diminuitive one at that. She barely stood higher than five feet tall, though her heels helped give her a little bit more stature. Her hair – pulled back in a severe bun, as usual – was steely gray, though she didn't look quite old enough to have gotten the shade through age alone. Dark glasses hid her eyes – it was rumored even among the other Masques that none of the current ones had seen her without the dark lenses, even indoors. A severe frown pulled down the corners of her mouth, her face falling into set creases. Aides and managers alike scurried to get out of her path.

Everyone in this building – anyone who worked with the Masques and knew of I, really – knew to respect this seemingly unassuming woman in her white suit. It was her job and not her looks or stature or species that inspired such fearful awe: she was the Masque that kept all the others in line, who took care of the errant ones. She was more than just an administrator; she was the enforcer.

No one dared ask what she did to deserve becoming a Masque.

Once again I am blown away completely by your shading abilities! And even without the descriptive commentary, I can tell right away what kind of presence she has. Everything is conveyed perfectly by her posture. Awesome work, Darth should be proud!

Awwww. Thanks! The shading was what made this take so long. I couldn't find a way to make it look good and how I wanted. It was a labor of love, let me tell you.... But I'm so, so, so glad you like it! I had hoped that her personality and demeanor would come through the drawing. Though I daresay your lineart and work in general more than rivals mine.

Oh Pish Posh! You are an amazing artist! We just have different styles. Just by looking at your work and watching you sketch and what not, I've learned so much from you. Your writing certainly leaves me in the dust ^_^

Dawwww. <3 If I might say so, you've helped inspire me to try some realism again - well, once I get some other concept drawings done.

Hmmmm. Perhaps we should collaborate on something someday. :3

Ooooh. That would be good. :3 We'll have to get together over school term once I start getting my act together. |D

On a random note - sadface. No one's commented on my feature journal. Oh, well. Less work for me?

Subtle hint? lol I'm not too sure how it works. I read through it but was like, Derppp, because I am unfamiliar with this activity lol.

It's alright! Just comment, I'll pick some stuff of yours that I like, and then you have to copy-past the feature with me in the #1 slot. :3 This way people who watch me will see your art.
