Artist's Comments

This is my personal marque in progress. For those of you who dont know what I'm talking about (i.e. almost everyone) a marque is a tattoo that covers the back, marking one as a courtesan. This concept comes from Jacqueline Carey, author of Kushiel's Trilogy. Read. Her. Books. Now.

Note: I am not a courtesan, I just like Jacqueline Carey's work and tattoos.

What else are you going to add to it?

thanks ^_^
yah, the books that i took the idea from arent too widespread, but they have quite the cult following.

I thought a marque symbolized that one's debt to their house had been paid.

Because Phedre wasn't the only one with a marque. Just the only one with her specific one.

:D

'Cause it said in the 3rd book that they had voted no one could copy her marque. And, the guy who interpreted her dream in the 2nd book, had a marque.

o.o;

Of course, that could be because he was Naamah's servant.

I think I'm just ranting, or ranting and confused.


Buuuut!

Awesome drawings. :D
