Description
Book cover commission for the wonderful Stant Litore.I've never depicted people of color in my work for any political reason, but I can't stress enough how thrilled I am to paint a badass east African hijabi for a fantasy cover.
No prints of this one, but you can support me on my Patreon for exclusive process images!

This is remarkable. I love seeing a woman of color and her lovely hijab, even more so knowing this is going on a fantasy cover.

Sahira is Arabic for "awake" or "wakeful."

A happy coincidence, then, as most centuries will consider Sahira's abilities sorcerous.

Beautiful piece. Can't get enough of the grace and ferocity! You'd think those two would clash, but this painting is perfect proof of their ability to meld.
