Ssrin at the Turtle Buffet

What an opening scene for a book!

Ssrin is from Seth Dickinson’s si-fi novel Exordia

A mixed-media illustration featuring Ssrin, a character from the si-fi novel Exordia by Seth Dickinson. It’s painted in watercolour, gouache, with pencil crayon details. It’s an illustration of the book’s opening scene where Ssrin, a serpentine alien with eight snake heads, two human-like arms on a human-like torso, with a long snake tail, is seen sitting by a pond and eating turtles. In each hand she hold a half of a turtle shell, with many scattered, bloody shells near-by. Some turtles can be seen under the water wearily looking up. Ssrin is an almost black silhouette surrounded by lush greenery.
