Bêlit is a lot of fun to draw — from the books she basically spends her time running around topless, which could easily become just more cheesecake to add on to the dessert cart. I try hard to make her not just sexy, but dangerous, calculating and enigmatic — Bêlit is very much a character that has a lot of layers, and I try to bring as much of that as I can to her.

Oh. My. Crom.
This is awesome. I was wondering how this would look, but didn’t want to spoil it. Wow. Just wow. =)
