Second commission for portraying his Lunar Exalted character Surucucu.
He asked me to include the following description:

Surucucu (Flametongue for "Sweeping Shadow") was exalted as a No Moon caste by Luna almost 500 years ago in a southwestern jungle. Her spirit form is that of a massive pit viper native to the region. She felt a great affinity for the Underworld which she was able to access through a local shadowland, and in time became a very skilled necromancer.

It was through her behind the scenes influence that the three gods of Greatforks had time to weave the great story that protected them from the Princess Magnificent with Lips of Coral and Robes of Black Feathers. For this she was cursed with an Essence Inversion, causing her to waste away when she spends long periods out of the Underworld, where cat's paws of her ancient enemies relentlessly hunt her. She has let long periods of time flow by in hibernation to slow her decline.

The bearer of her Solar mate's exaltation, Lavina Valeria, stumbled upon one of her hiding places etched with powerful necromantic sigils and pictograms depicting the No Moon's legend. Surucucu has once again been consumed by the supernatural bond that threatens to subjugate her heart to her returning mate. She has in turn directed her considerable charms to seducing the young Solar while offering to be her mentor in the dark arts. Sweeping Shadow has disturbing memories from another life where she was murdered by her golden lover over a disagreement regarding the Underworld and is determined not to let it happen again!

When the moon waxes full in the sky or she is spiritually weakened, depression and lethargy sap her will as she sees the inextricable dissolution of the world she loves being consumed by the facinating Underworld and the Abyss at its core. Here her moonsilver tattoos are visible, which keep her form under her own control, even when she travels through the reality warping lands of the Wyld. They are symbolic of the story she has selected for herself, so the Wyld won't pick a different story and mutate her to suit it. They also identify her as a member of the Silver Pact. She is a shapeshifter that can transform into the form of any animal, person, or ghost who she has ritualistically hunted and drank the heart's blood of.
