Crazy? Who called me crazy?

About this image

I've received some requests to show my current Dragonborn, so here she is.

My intention when creating her was to not make a "pretty" Orc lady, but instead create one that looked like she weathered 5 years as an orphan that no-one really cared about, 8 years as a blacksmiths' apprentice, and 10 years of wandering around Hammerfell. (She's 23 at the start of Skyrim.)

She has scars both mental and physical (but you can't see those at this angle), and doesn't really trust anyone, hence the angry scowl.

I probably should make her hair darker, but I like the bright red hair. Call it a stylistic choice.

Should probably darken her skin too, what with Hammerfell being a giant desert and all.

I have an entire story planned out for her, which I might share some picture by picture. Well, most of it, anyway.
