The Mercenary and the Empress - Illustration 5 (Patreon)

I’m coming back to this! I really love these characters, and want to do more with them.

For any of you that don’t know what this is, it’s a story/illustration series called the Mercenary and the Empress. Previous illustrations here

Here Brenn Coal-Eyes, Mercenary of the southern reaches and Tinct-cursed badass, gives empress Santra Sansevieria exactly what she invited Brenn to the Capital for. The Tinct is dangerous beyond description when uncontrolled. Will Santra have the strength of will to master it?
