The Violinst

"There is no sanctuary for the flesh" - The Violinst

So...I decided to paint a character that's been in my life since I was a kid. Like...when I was 10. O_O The Violinist is the center of all my storylines, a God-like figure over my other characters such as Seth. She's pretty out there, lol. In fact, her dress and instrument are made from her own flesh and bones! They act as extensions of her body. Given that her bones and flesh are stronger than steel, and her blood is powerful than acid, engaging in battle with her is a bad idea, lol.

Basically, the Violinist is a damned God; sealed away by the Creator of the universe because her very existence (as well as others like her, which I call 'the Amalas') threaten to undo the balance of the universe. Thus, no one knows her name, so she is referred to as "The Violinist" in my story. There's a heavy curse placed by the Creator to prevent interaction with the Violinist. For example: those who desire to see her are immediately struck blind; their eyeballs melting right off. Those who hear her go deaf; their ears bleeding. Those who try to talk to her get their tongues cut off. Etc. Etc.

There's more behind her, which will be exposed in the comic I'm working on called "Septet". I won't say anymore than that though. I'll let it be a surprise for you guys once the comic gets going.

Until then, thanks for staying tuned and reading this. Also, many thanks to the watches and comments! I'm amazed by the recent surge of new watchers I've had lately. Thank you all!
