Man, I'm seriously in awe with your SB. You are always working towards an illustration, and pushing and working, and having something done. Amazing. I need you as my pilot, come work your magic on me! Ha.
So, this last one, lady justice? (oh, it's on the title, I'm clueless! ha ha) I personally liked a bit more the rather more saturated version you had on the previous stage, before the two weeks you mention, but I seem to be biased towards colorful stuff, so pay no heed. You also had not as much overexposure with the light, it was more pleasing to me. What was your reasoning behind the changes? I guess before it was more comic book, now is a bit more realistic or photographic.
Composition is great, loved the hands coming out of the water. I guess the fires could had a bit of glow but again with so much overexposure it would not stand out so I guess it makes sense. Awesome job again.
Oh I forgot to say, I like the crossover, or influence about the lady of the lake, from Excalibur which is fair, fairnes, so justice, and that threads into lady justice. Was it on purpose? Or am I reading more into it that there is? I gotta say the background of the piece is very entertaining, like how did you plan it?
I saw a previous one you did with a girl and very colorful gradations. I noticed one thing tho, while I'm not an expert painter and all that, mainly the eyes, if lit from below, think that you will have the shadow inverted as how they usually are (it's a hollow cavity covered by a dome), so highlight goes down, but shadow goes down too, and light is up. Here, a reference and a paint over. I did other tweaks but, I can't really stand by any of them because again, not a clue about painting personal pieces, as of now, ha.
A reference for lit from below I liked it, mainly to see the eyes:

Now go ride those winds of progress! Ha. Impressive stuff.
