Bêlit & Red Sonja - SISTERS OF BLOOD / Bazal. 13x17,7 in.

Sword and sorcery commission.

Bêlit and Red Sonja are not posing—they are waiting. There is no submissive eroticism here, only challenge, restrained violence, and an alliance forged in blood. Their nudity is not weakness, but assertion: the body as conquered ground.

Red Sonja, warrior of Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian universe, holds the sword with ancestral certainty. She is the one who meets our gaze and, with a deliberate and ruthless gesture, dares us to come closer for more—if we dare. She does not seduce; she provokes. She does not promise; she challenges. Fully aware of her effect, she wields desire and threat with equal control.

Beside her stands Bêlit, restrained and lethal. She needs no gesture—her presence is enough. A pirate queen shaped by raids and blood-red seas, she watches with cold calculation, as if the fate of the onlooker were already decided.

Rendered in black ballpoint pen and marker by Angel Bazal, the drawing amplifies the rawness of the moment. Dense, relentless linework builds heavy shadows. There is no romanticized heroism—only muscle, sweat, tension, and unapologetic female authority.

This commission speaks of primal, conscious power. Red Sonja challenges; Bêlit delivers judgment. And the viewer stands caught between them.
