Trudy Clem is a nobody as far as LOA at large is concerned. she won't even get a full bio/cel image. but she plays an important role in the pathos of one very main character who i've often portrayed as an indestructible hardass. you might know him.

everybody over a thousand's got a few regrets, but this lady is a particularly black strike on Terry's rap sheet. unlike many of Samson's offenses, it was tragically personal. and also unlike anything notable the Ram himself had done, it was uncomfortably recent.

while the actual events are already set in stone as far as the history is concerned, i'm still debating if she has any ramifications on present events. maybe she'd be like one of those single-serving antagonists, just something the characters deal with for one "episode" to break up the rut a little. i'm still feeling it out.

she's definitely not more than a "long journal length" piece of writing. a piece which has been in the works since last February but i have been previously unmotivated to finish without any mention/images or other "character hype" to actually get people to give a shit.

water stain thx [link]
blood thx [link]

all other textures and effects i supplied myself. funny, i've never done something like this before, but i knew exactly how to do what i wanted to see. i think i'll do more. they're fun and surprisingly easy; just a little tedious adjusting so many different layer measurements for exact desire.

unfortunately i had already flattened most of my texture work when i decided i wanted the half-photo/half-memory look, so the sky is dirty even in the bright part.
