The tall blue eyed bird Ciara, hot blooded and ready to handle whatever needs breaking.
It’s time for the last book’s heroine to come forth. Praise Ciara from the third volume of the Illustrated Stark: Black Amazon of Mars by Leigh Brackett. All illustrations and covers of the three volumes are by us, StarTwo, and it’s published by the sci fi fan favourite, Cirsova Publishing.
Ciara is truly a character full of surprises. Not only is she master of the art of war but also owner of the true meaning of inner strength. It made us feel like she was ready to move mountains, literal or figuratively. And yet, there is also a sweet side, rational but not less giving.
As the passage on the book describes her well, inner fire is a strong part of her.
“The throat he held was white and strong, and his hands around it were buried in a mane of red-gold hair that fell down over the shirt of mail. A red mouth passionate with fury, wonderful curving bone under sculptured flesh, eyes fierce and proud and tameless as the eyes of a young eagle, fire-blue, defying him, hating him…”
She is fuelled by a strength that comes from inside, framed with long free flowing fire coloured hair, roaring and ready to stand until she can fight no more. Even then, she will surely be standing, pulling the best part of you to the battle, pushing you forward, not stopping until you are successful. We all need a Ciara in our lives!

We actually gave her a more flashy outfit than what she wears in the illustrations of the book, but we wanted her to have the same “dress code” as the two previous heroines pinups! Thank you very much for your comment!

The characters are truly refreshing and well done, different from the near pornographic drawings of female heroes in comics and film.

We’re happy to know that you enjoyed the characters since we put a lot of thought into “fleshing” them out in a way that portrays their descriptions fairly.
Thank you so very much for your words!
