An illustration of Mui from Edifice standing on a stone windowsill, seemingly in darkness except for the glow of her yellow eyes. She is topless and holding the scabbard of her sword, with her left arm hiding her chest. She is still wearing her white cloak around her waist and her legs are crossed in front of her. A red damaged curtain is falling over the window in the top right of the painting. Behind her, you can see simple buildings bathed in sunlight in front of a blue sky, peaking through fluffy white clouds.

Finished this piece for Edifice! I dunno what I'll use this for but I just wanted to paint and draw Mui in a spooky way so uuuuh...yeah, here we go!

Had a fun with the colors on this one. Just throwing green in a bunch of spaces can give such interesting hues

So Ubisoft's Halifax studio JUST unionized, the first in North America to successfully do so, and then Ubisoft just happens to decide days later that they need to shut down the Halifax studio. Ghoulish behaviour.
