A fullbody study/sketch of Val (Valerie) Surita, one of main characters in my original story/universe Lattetude.

She is Anglo-Indian, meaning her ancestors lived during the period when the British East India Trading Company ruled over India/Burma. Her parents left the country during the exodus of the late 40s-60s to the United States. She grows up Westernized to some extent since she's born in the US, but tries to maintain whatever bits of her heritage and culture that she can.

At the time of the story, she works as a 3D Modeller at a video game company and lives in an apartment building named Avondale. Her downstairs neighbors (Corin and Lucas) and the college student working part time at the coffee shop on the main floor (Ethan) make up the rest of the main cast.

I've been slowly pondering over the story for months, but it's been sitting on the backseat while I worked through my Dragon Age Big Bang fic and my first semester of college. While I don't have the time to write a whole lot of it, hopefully I'll be able to churn out some more sketches (:
