Iggturant (Female) Portrait - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I am thrilled to share another new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia. This illustration is for Book Two: The Completed Circle. This will be a character portrait accompanying one of the short blurbs at the beginning of a chapter. I shared more about these with the first post focused on these portraits. With most of these, I have an idea regarding their voice and placement in the book, but the fun part is that it is not set in stone and may turn into something very different from what I first planned. I present you with an Iggturant (Female) (name to come later). I will be sharing the portrait of one of her males very soon. The Iggturant females have a curtain of tentacles surrounding their bodies, and the males that she accept nestle into her tentacles and stay there the rest of her or his life, living as a parasitic mate.

These are the smallest pieces created for the books. There is something charming about a 5 x 5 image, and I have already framed them up. Here is a look at the sketch for the Iggturant (Female) to show where it started.
