Anubis Gates Project

First project of Special Studies was to design images based on the book "The Anubis Gates" by Tim Powers. World is vaguely steampunk, magically, and old world London. I didn't read the book, I couldn't get into it, but managed to pick a few scenes and characters to work on.

We had free reign on what we wanted to do, so I picked a scene and the characters in it to design. Jacky, one of the main characters, is an aristocratic woman who cross-dresses as a beggar boy to try and find her husband's murderer. At one point, she's thrown in an underground tunnel, where two "creatures" reside. These creatures were once human, but were experimented on and left in the dark. So I figured they'd be pretty creepy and... unhealthy looking.

They're only referred to as "sisters" in the book. And not much to go on other than they wanted Jacky's eyes to see again. So, had to be blind creepy monster people right?
