This is a gift for Aaron Alexovich, the creator of the comic "Serenity Rose". If you haven't checked out his work, you really should: http://www.heartshapedskull.com/
This is also a sample of the full-body character portraits I will be offering as a commission option for around the $120 price point. Though those will include an optional textured or very simple backdrop. This has a white background because I felt it suited the character.
