Countess Hikaru: Colors of February

This is another earlier pic, and the intentions of this one were to showcase a lighter side to one of my more moodier set of fan characters.<br />
For those of you who aren't familiar with her, Countess Hikaru is a long lost sister to Jak, and didn't know much about her family since she was abandoned in Spider Caves for reasons untold. The way of life with the bats, spiders and rivers of dark eco left the outside of her to form what it is today. She also normally wears black, and a lot of it. :P In "Forces of Life" (fic at FF.net), she shows herself as a visitor to Haven City shortly after Kor's defeat, willing to know more about her forgotten past.<br />
What I ended up doing was to show a more peaceful side to her - the furry clothes were originally meant to be a trendy Vegas-style fashion approach, but a few tweaks later made it more like a snow picture. ^^ And I'm happy with what's been put together.<br />

...I hate the image compression though X.x<br />

(DISCLAIMER: I own Hikaru, but... Naughty Dog made them elf-thing species ;))
