Karsula

And this is my entry for a contest an artist I recently started watching is throwing, Also, she's a new character of mine. I've never drawn a leopard before but I must say I'm rather impressed with how well she came out - well except for the spots, I might need more practice with that... Be prepared to see more of her in the near future.

Anyway, her name is Karsula. She's a Voodoo witch doctor, she speaks with sort of a Jamaican accent - because what kind of witch doctor DOESN'T speak with one? - and despite her occupation she's actually very friendly... as long as you don't piss her off and get on her bad side, that is. She's a very solitary person who lives in a hut in the rainforest all by herself; she spends most of her time in the jungle hunting for wild game, or gathering medicinal herbs and mind-altering substances to get more in touch with the spirit world. Most people who come to see her usually go to her for spiritual healing, personal advice, divination, and occasionally put a curse on someone they don't like. Unless you're a close friend of hers - which she holds dearly - she usually demands payment for her services, but she won't accept cash... it's up to you to bargain with her on what she'll accept as payment. Sometimes it can be anything as simple as fine china, to something hard to get like a shrunken head, or even something risky like your own blood. With Karsula, you never know... But despite her friendliness, she has a very low level of tolerance, and is easily irritated. She prefers to keep conversations short, simple, and straight to the point. Because of her no-nonsense attitude, she's gained a lot of respect from people and they're always mindful of what they say, lest they end up walking home with leprosy! Ha!
