About this design

What the design shows

A full standing figure in a deep crimson gown forms the center of this colored composition. Her two dark red horns rise above long black hair, and her pale face turns slightly toward the viewer's right. Rounded shoulder sleeves lead to a fitted waist, then to a long skirt whose vertical folds flare into a softly scalloped hem. A dark blue-black raven perches on her raised right forearm, facing outward with a small pale highlight in its beak and eye. Behind the figure, two maroon bat wings open from the shoulders. Their upper edges are high and arched, while three pointed membrane lobes hang on each side. Heavy black outlines divide the wine-red fabric, dark wing membranes, hair, and bird. The on-skin view centers this palm-and-a-half tall design between the shoulder blades, with horns uppermost and the gown hem descending toward the middle back.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview uses the central upper back, giving the wings equal room on either side of the spine and allowing the long skirt to run downward. This tall, wide silhouette can also work on a broad thigh, shoulder blade, or upper arm if the wing span is adjusted. Keep it palm-and-a-half tall so the raven's beak, fingers, and skirt folds remain readable. For a smaller version, simplify the skirt pleats and raven feathers before reducing the wing membranes or face.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

The red gown and wing span make this a heavy focal piece for a large field. Place it alone at the core of an upper-back arrangement, then add smaller separate marks outside the wing tips. A black crescent over one horn, a tiny red gemstone below the hem, or short thorn branches near the outer wings echo the existing motifs. Avoid another colored character adjacent to the bird. Leave at least one finger-width of skin around the wing points and the raven's head to keep the silhouette from becoming crowded.

03Separate the maroon wing panels with a firm black contour.
04Preserve the long vertical skirt folds down the body midline.
