*Yes, I'm back. All is well and settled now. Back to business as usual. So happy about that!* This is the third concept of one of the lead characters I'm creating for my next graphic novel project, Operation Eclipse. It's basically a sci-fi spy novel partly inspired by the Dystopia theme. Following is my first draft of a short bio/back story. It needs work!! What do you think of her so far (I'm speaking of the character art)? Her name is Ciera Jade. :) "Ciera is a skilled jewel thief by trade which is lucrative given that rare gems are among the world's most valued commodities. Too bad she spends most of her ill-gotten wealth on vice. Her life of crime seemingly comes to an end when she is caught for reasons she can't understand. What could she have possible done wrong on that last job or any job? She is tried, if you could call a fifteen minute meeting with a single judge a trial, and sentenced to death. While awaiting her inevitable death sentence, she is rescued by a mysterious man who will give her a chance at a new life... if she can handle it and if his organization, Obscura, can handle her."
