Even if I don't plan to make a sequel of that pic, I appreciated to draw it and would love to make another pic like that, maybe starring one of my human character =) Mille mercis for both your comment and the gold star award, Kellen!
Les héritiers de mes crimes by @AmiralAesir (Amiral Aesir)
Heirs of my sins
Bothan is a war criminal, no doubt about it. On the orders of her twin sister, the grand admiral Daji, and for the sake of the Armada - protecting all the fury in the Bubastis' system - Bothan leaded assaults on the humans. Many perished. Military and civils. Bothan so hated those orders, but it was the humans or the furries. Finally, and for the sake of all life, Bothan challenged her own sister in order to protect the very last humans. She killed her twin. So many deads around her, for what? She lives with her sins, by her side. One day, her heirs will continue her sins...
I have to point that I was greatly inspired by the gothic works of Ayami Kojima, the woman who designed most of the Castlevania's games. Her book Neo-Romance is definitively a must-have if you like that mood. I wouldn't have thought about that pic without those references. Special thought for Giger and his alien's design of course.

Absolutely amazing piece, a nice strong composition, beautiful color work and a nice twist of the Macabre. I love the contrast between Bothan's living self and the sins that she has to live with that look to be encompassed by her dead twin Daji. The wing structure and boning is wonderful. I love the stitch works and the scar patterns. I love the faces that you see withing her abdominal cavity and the gore is done in such a beautiful, elegant yet disturbing way.
