CGMythology's Sketchbook

[cgmythology]

Fedodika:  Thanks for your honest feedback as always.  I did have a reference photo for the general pose which I tried to stay close to (I think there's a link to it on the original pose) so I think the pose itself looks fairly natural.  Good point about the eye, will fix that as soon as I flatten the layers.  The pose is a bit stiff as you mentioned, that's actually a common challenge for me to overcome with my drawings, so in the future I'll try to exaggerate the gesture more for a more dynamic result!

Photobucket is acting weird again so I wasn't able to upload yesterday's and today's updates, so I'm attaching them directly in the forum.   The image has come quite a long way and I did my best to incorporate all the great input I received.  I think I'm gonna go for a bit of a darker and grittier feel for this image as I think it'll make it more believable, so I added some battle scars on her face and will add dirt/rust/etc. on her armor and sword.  Below is yesterday's update followed by the more recent one.  Feel free to let me know any feedback as always!
