Artwork: Erinys Courier

It seems that whenever I draw someone, I go through a process of tweaks. First I taper the ears to a point, because why not. Heterochromia just comes naturally, usually with unusual eye colours that go with any jewellery. I'll try to resist adding wings, because the wings can be quite a bit of effort to draw properly...but then I decide that the drawing needs a little some extra around the sides for 'balance', and in they go. Horns get added, to give a lift to the head—in this case, I originally planned to draw a hat, but I think I forgot at some point. Well to Hell with it—might as well add a tail now too.

A blonde-haired young woman with curved horns and blue-grey feathered wings, dressed in a sleeveless brown-and-burgundy leather bodice and skirt. She has one green and one orange eye, pointed ears, and has a faint smirk on her face. The feathers of the wings are all tinted slightly differently, giving a stained glass effect. She has various leather pouches tied to belts around her waist and hips. Her left arm is bare but for a leather wrist/hand guard, while her right arm is covered by an iron pauldron. She has black leather thigh-high heeled boots, and a tail snakes out from behind her to wrap around her left leg. The tail is reptilian, starting pinkish in colour but turning grey-blue like the wings. The background is a simple burgundy haze over black.
An Erinys, having something of a relaxed day.

This is how I end up drawing yet another 'erinys' character, albeit one that looks rather too pleasant to be one of the Furies. I think maybe it's her day off—even cthonic vengeance spirits need some time to themselves. Why a 'courier'? I'm not sure—that's just the impression I got from her, like maybe those pouches contain messages.

Ah, so it's not her day off. It's her side-hustle.
