More humanoid practice, with inspiration from @/Klanczek1's piece they did for me ages ago that was gorgeous. I must work on highlighting and shading humans better, haha. But it's a start.
It was originally going to feature fire because the race my persona is can use their blood for magic, and hers would be blood into fire but, I dunno'
But it turned out better than I expected.
Alternate text: This image features a symmetrical humanoid female bust. She has long, dark hair, and her eyes are looking towards the left of the image, though it would be your right. There is a circle of pale red and pink lightning behind her with a sky full of stars.
