Have Mercy by KatieHofgard on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

What started out as an inked sketchbook commission at FC turned into this. This was done for Mercy, but I was given permission to color the scan sent to me anyway I wanted.

So it turned into my character Relic (aka Shadow Wolf), a vengeance spirit who exacts her psychological art on sexual predators. She started out as a Marvel fan character (like another now highly developed character of mine, Spark), but I started having dreams about her. She punishes sexual predators by psychologically terrorizing them and draining/eating their soul through the sometimes tedious process.

Yeah... keep in mind this was around the time I started regularly watching Law and Order SVU. XD

[edit] Lots of people are saying it reminds them of Nago (boar demon) from Mononoke Hime, or Venom from the Marvel universe. Great! These are my visual inspirations for this character after all

[edit 2] Wow, a Daily Deviation! Thank you so much ^Katmomma and *Roefel, yay! Please forgive me for not answering a lot of comments, I'm coming off a 16 hour work day so I'm pretty beat. Thank you to all who have commented anyway!
