I finished reading Perdido Street Station by China Miéville in Greece, and it's a great book. Just the imagination that that man has...

Knew from the beginning that I will do fanart for this. I already have a bunch of doodles of khepri (red skinned women with scarabs for heads) and the Weaver (a giant spider with a crush on aesthetics and scissors), but... Pengefinchess.

Pengefinchess is a fairly minor character, but I adore her. She is a vodyanoi (basically frog people), and part of a three people mercenary group. Her undine (a water spirit) keeps her skin moist and makes it possible for her to survive in dry environment. (It also keeps her garb clean.)

A pity that she wasn't used in the other books, but those are great on their own.
