The cords re-tighten, insisting that the Scholar rise back up in her struggle for air. The massive fingers about her throat hold back her breath just long enough for a serpentine length of rope to slither its way around the base of her skull and through her parted teeth. As Elina reflexively bites down, the cord makes another pass and tightens as if yanked decisively by a giant seamstress.

Elina was drawn with the awesome reference material provided by Emily at Feathered-pics . Thanks, Emily!

The reference I relied on here is also not currently in Emily's gallery, but it is a good one, and so are those I used for the images to follow.

Enjoy!

Note: Bookbinding and Demon's Due are a work of fantasy and fiction. The artist/creator in no way condones real mistreatment of this kind toward any woman or man, by living person, gremlin, plant, assassin, ratman, viscous fluid, programmed device, animated home furnishings, or otherworldly spiritual beings. Furthermore, the artist opposes the marginalizing and restriction of women in general by any institution, political and/or religious, including those which have individual women amongst their membership touting/promoting their own happiness within that institution as evidence that ALL women should feel the same way. This includes the religion I was raised in and which I have utterly discarded from my life over this and other issues.
