Description

By far the best character from Marc D. Giller's cyberpunk novels "Hammerjack" and "Prodigal."

Avalon's's body was deformed during a mission to Mars gone wrong. Her nervous system was eaten away by the Mons Virus, as were her eyes. She wears a "sensesuit" that allows her not only to feel her own body again, but also gives her some extra-human senses. The two lights that replace her eyes are hidden behind "onyx glasses" (whatever those are), and in "Prodigal" she also acquires a retractable knife blade in her hand (because William Gibson had retractable finger-blades copyright, probably). Avalon's enhancements make her a superhuman assassin, and her blood lust fuels it even more.

DRAWING PROCESS:
This one was tricky.
I drew it in pencil, then colored it with pens and markers, as usual. But I found it impossible to keep all the lit parts straight, and wound up with a big mess. I had to use with-out to re-do the parts that were meant to be lighten up. Then the picture didn't translate onto a computer screen, so I had to play with the contrast to get something decent looking. That was where the purple tint came form.

I do not own Avalon.
