Artist's Comments

Girl Flower was an ancient Welsh elemental, made up of rose petals and owls' claws long and long ago by an ancient traveling sorcerer who might or might not have been Merlin. The story changed every time she told it. She looked human enough, most of the time. Treat her right, and she'd be soft as rose petals for you. Mistreat or wrong her, and the owls' claws would come out. And then the best you could hope for was when the authorities finally found what was left of you, your relatives would be able to find an undertaker who was really into jigsaw puzzles. Girl Flower had very high standards, which was why she was always so very disappointed in men. But she remained optimistic, and the police kept fishing body parts out of the Thames. Girl Flower dressed in bright pastel colors, in gypsy styles, and wore so many bracelets they clattered deafeningly every time she gestured.

Molly amused herself by pointing a finger at those who got too close, whereupon they immediately exploded wetly in all directions at once. Girl Flower squeaked loudly every time this happened and finally stopped to pick up most of a dead rat and hold it close to her bosom.

"Poor little ratty."

"Oh, ick," said Molly.

"I am flowers, darling," Girl Flower said stubbornly. "And all dead things are compost to my pretty petals."

She slipped the rat carcass inside the front of her dress and it immediately disappeared. Molly looked at me. "Think about that, the next time she invites you to unbutton her blouse."

I looked determinedly in another direction. "If she starts coughing up owl pellets, she's going back."


-"The Man With the Golden Torc," Simon R. Green

There's something about this man's books that gives me very sudden, very definite images of characters. Obviously, considering how much of my stuff is fanart of Deathstalker, Nightside, etc. Anyway, this is his newest book series, "The Secret History", which is basically James Bond in London with magic. It's pretty badass so far, though I'm only about halfway done with the first one. The second, "Daemons Are Forever," is in bookstores now.

Sketched, scanned, colored in PS7.

Edit: And how obvious is it that I was rereading Joss Whedon's run on "Runaways" when I started drawing this?
