"Dora always was a funny girl. When she was eight she tried to sacrifice the class gerbil to Tiamat, the Babylonian god of Chaos. When she was fifteen, she ran away from home and lived for a year and seven months on the roof of a Korean laundry.

And when she was twenty-three she built the Box, because the voices told her it needed building."


She has a name, and a story is developing...

it almost looks like you used brush&ink. Also, she seems like an interesting character.

Yeah, I really like the effect this gives. I should probably try to color this, but I know it'll look crappy.

I really truely love that character.
She could be one of Matt Ruffs weirdos. (sorry if you might feel offended by comparing, but I truely say that cause her design stuns me alot)

You seem to be a very talented when it comes to simple and unique designs; she seems to be very plain, but if you look closer you find many details you didnt saw by looking the first time.
Thats the same thing I appreciate about good music. ;)

All the technical things have such a polished and nerdy look, and you made them look important too.
Kudos to working this in greyscale.
Its lovely this way.

Oh and the story sounds great too.
She totally deserves Fanart, if my Human Skills wouldnt be that.... ugly xD
-is eager to see more of that-

Thanks! I had to look up info on Matt Ruff, but his writing sounds very much like it's in a similar vein. Dora is a schizophrenic, but also something of a genius.

This piece really made itself, it was weird.

I cannot tell you exactly, but it alters the fundamental laws of physics, and she works together with Monsieur Moqueur these days. They are a killer team.
