Bloodred Sunset

I am really at loss for words... Not by surprise but by the simple serenity of this picture. I saw this scene with Malta, and nothing was really happening so I don't know what to say here that adds to this picture. It was good to practice a more extreme light condition!

This is Malta, the mother of my 'main character' Yava (who is a point of view character in the graphic novel by BlackMysticA that is currently in progress). Malta is a true Icelandic siderian, one of the few. Her grandmother is the coordinator of a metacluster called Boiling Bay, but she is probably import Icelandic xD. The paternal line of Malta goes further back into the Icelandic lineage.

Family
Grandparents (as far as they are known to me): Ragnar (father of Fannar) and Gaëlle (mother of Sivana)
Parents: Fannar (father) and Sivana (mother)
Sibling: Ragna (sister)
Partner: Axel
Offspring: Ravn and Yava
Grandchildren: so far, Falco, Winther, Torstein/Torben by Yava and Sevrin by Ravn. (There are some sketches and even character sheets available, by me or Mystic, but not submitted online yet...)

Personality keywords
Honest, straight to the point, patient, sympathetic (not to be confused with empathetic), conscientious, self-disciplined, even-tempered, not too serious around others and pretty easy to interact with, but can be very sharp or intense when she thinks it is earned, thinking on her feet (very smart and quick!), meticulous.

Voice and manner of speaking
For an impression of her voice, the first 20 seconds or so of this song are perfect (and some interviews like this one). Linda Perry, yes, I know it is kind of cliche to take a famous person as a voice reference, but it just fits her perfectly. Actually the initial voice inspiration I had for Malta was the singer of Wicked Wisdom, such as this metal song, but it was way too screamy so I had to find her normal way of talking...


Disclaimer
Malta is a female siderian, a fantasy feline species created by BlackMysticA. Mystic was inspired by tigers, Eurasian lynx and Oriental cats to create siderians. Malta was initially inspired by cheetahs, but that later shifted towards the lynx spectrum of the current siderian anatomy.
Malta is a character of mine, adopted by Mystic in the reign of siderians, and accepted family member of main characters in her next graphic novel, Predator Control, featuring the famous Stian.

BlackMysticA is currently working on another graphic novel, Theory of Mind. Go check it out and support her!
