Getting there! Still working a bit on her left hand, and obviously the hair needs work, but I got pretty far. :D

Once the B&W stage is done, I'll tint it with color and work on it that way. No clue what the background is going to be, but hey.

ETA; Something about the compression tyo 888 9.AAAAGH GET OFF THE KEYBOARD CAT

Anyway, something about the compression to JPG turned it darker than the real piece is. Huh.

Definitely shaping up nicely here. :D

Thanks! :D

Looks great! :D I think I am a little bit bothered by her hand holding her sword though -the fingers seems almost backwards because the supposed index and middle finger are thinner/slimmer than her ring finger and pinkie? Not that having fingers like that is impossible or anything but I suspect it creates an illusion in my head at first glance that the hand is backwards. :oa

Oh, aarg, I hate that index finger. It ought to be partially obscured by the hilt, but insists on looking like it's half-size or something.

Guess I'm not the only one seeing it, huh? XD

I see that the index is half hidden. But I do agree that the ring and pinky fingers look to fat compaired to the middle finger. Perhaps if you lighten the shadows on the middle one and deepen them on the other two it would look more balanced without having to re-draw....

Beautiful!! This is really coming along. I love seeing the different stages.

Thanks! I can't believe it's taking about three times as long as the previous realism pic, but OTOH I'm not obscuring half her face, so I can't fake it like I did the other. XD
