Bellkeeper of Sibilant Sin

This was drawn as one of the conceptual character artworks for a story prompt idea that I'm currently developing. The concept revolves around a series of Bellkeepers from different worlds/time periods united by the bells they carry.

For the Bellkeeper of Sibilant Sin, my concept was that of a child, and the most savage and unpleasant of the cast. Of all the bellkeepers, she comes from a world far more primitive and uncivilized than the rest, and she bears the emotional and physical scars as a result. She takes a wanton glee in bloodshed and violence, and pays attention to little else.

I chose a more raw, punk-ish clothing aesthetic, with bells and gear made of leather, brass and other burnished metals; this is a character who's first in and eager for a scrap. I also aimed to create a silhouette with an emphasis on hard, angular edges.
