This character started out as an exercise in drawing profiles, something I need practice with. I'm not entirely sure I did it right on this character... something seems a bit off with her face. Howver, I like her hair and yes, it's meant to indicate there were multiple shades here. I think I was going with the notion that her hair would be orange at the roots and then spread through flame colors, ending with blue on the tips. I think she's some kind of fighter pilot, given the tattoo on her arm, but other than that she's got elven ears, I dunno anything about her.
