May as well post another character tonight. My Mage: the Awakening character, Sibyl, the Mastigos. A sassy and bitter barista at "Crew Brew Coffee". Streams for donations at the end of the month when her unflattering job doesn't pay enough to cover rent.
@ClevelandArt also have this beautiful Maria Sibylla Merian print. #CC0 cc .@HistSciArt https://t.co/KJqcQkcYYf #CMAOpenAccess

15. Yeah umm.. have u met Sibyl? xD I'm fine with like layered clothing and patterns but when it comes to armor and other metal/mecha style stuff it takes forever to draw looking decent.. At least @OmaOti gave Sibyl justice in this amazing piece !! ♥
