Digital illustration of a character design of my dnd character. She has red hair, and wears a collar of office and a rapier. One hand rests on her waist, the other flourishes a coin.

The background is plain green.

The pose and some details are based on Leyendecker’s Arrow Collar Man Reading A Book, which also inspired the robe Lestat wears in S1E1 ‘In Throes of Increasing Wonder’. The red book he is reading is Paradise Lost. He wears a livery collar set with red stones and a signet ring with the initial L.
