Pretty sure this is an avatar rendering for a gaia friend. It’s a different style than I’ve seen from Sarah in this genre.

Kuyusi is Sarah’s online persona from gaia. So I’m assuming that this is another take on a self portrait.

dekai_akka_sensei___a_gift_by_nymphesque
This was a gift to someone… likely one of Sarah’s friends from the online gaia forum. Although she’s now quite critical of the proportion of the eyes, there’s just something very compelling about it to me. The purpleness, perhaps? Or something else….

Somehow I have the impression that the subject was one of Sarah’s friends, Jade perhaps. Or a complete stranger. Or both.

Not sure how the hands are connected to the torso. I’m assuming it’s a stylistic thing. Or maybe she just forgot about arms.
