Curse

Yeah, I'm back. I would like to buy a gift for my fiance for our anniversary - some art of his non-Guild Wars original character.
His character is still in development, so there aren't too many details; she doesn't even have a name yet, but he's a bit excited about the design.

She is a necromancer's apprentice, young (late teens to early twenties), human, low-class. Her clothes are taken from the corpses on which they practice their necromancy, modified slightly for a better fit. She rather likes rats, and enjoys the company of one gray female in particular.

Picture reference: x
She's pale, with dark (black?) hair and dark brown, almost black, eyes. The wraps extend up to mid-thigh, and about the middle of her upper arm. Her necklace is a single piece of black cord with a small bottle of ashes. Colors of the (loose-fitting) clothing would be drab, earth-tones (brown, tan, olive green, cream, etc). There may be some faded blood stains. Holes would likely be barely noticeable, as her weapons of choice are poison-tipped needles. Some of the needles are hidden in various places on her, including the bits of cloth at her ankle, in her belt pouch, and possibly a strap on her upper arm. She's a bit slender, small breasts, maybe even looks a bit unhealthy - messy hair, possibly with split ends. Not sure if it's clear in the picture, but her hair is very short in the back, long in the front, ponytail in the back. It can be a bit uneven, like a "bad haircut."

Semi-realism, maybe a bit of a painter look, would be preferred. Full-body would be ideal, but let me know what you can do. Background isn't needed, but I wouldn't complain if one was added. I'll have to talk to him a bit more for other details.

I can pay about 32e, which is about 208-240k, at current prices. I hope the offer is okay - I'm not sure what art is going for these days. I just know what I have. ^^;
Let me know what you can do, please? I'd like to see samples. Our anniversary is May 30, but I certainly don't expect it to be finished by then. I can be very patient for the finished piece. A WIP of some kind by May 30 would be great, even if there isn't much done on it yet. He does know that I'm buying art for him - we talked it through all day today, finalizing all the physical details while I sketched it for him. So, he does know that he's getting something eventually and he doesn't mind the wait either.

Sorry for the messy post. It's late, and it's been a long week. ^^;

EDIT: No longer looking!

Thank you, Perynne!
