EDIT: I forgot Red’s freckles! Here they are.

Profile of Pumpmonger’s Red, the flame haired warrior. Red is my kind of hero – virtuous, strong and kind. She is also a tragic hero, whose path holds no promise of fame or glory, who is never really able to settle in any one place, nor lavish affection to any particular individual. Red carries the flaws of a human, yet her burden is beyond life and death. It takes a character of great strength to rise up to such a task, and Red is an inspiration.

This is the first of a series of pics that Nick and I are working on. The project is based on the themes for Maidens’08, which we thought was a good opportunity to showcase Red.
