This is the Water Mage character in the book that I am writing. His name is Calidus, which, as I understand it, loosely means warm water in Latin. It's been a loooong time since I've drawn a picture of him that I was pleased with, so I'm happy to finally have one. I wasn't sure what to do for the background...I tried several things before I settled on a more abstract, watery theme.
