Description
Just thought I'd show some of the process for this cover. I begin with the traditionally done pencil sketch submitted to Marvel for approval, then I work on the values and lighting in grayscale, and finally I add color and texture. In this particular case, with just a single character close-up, it wasn't very painstaking.I adjust and tweak the structure as I paint. If you have the luxury of time, you can assess flaws much more objectively by setting the work aside and not looking at it for a few days.

Great work! I love how she does look like 'just another pretty face'. Her power and personality are on display instead of just her physique.

its very good. The only thing that stood out strange was the knuckles of the hand , on the two last fingers. If you point your own hand like that you'd see what Im tryin to say I think.
But the image is great

Yep, I agree. It was something I considered fixing as I went along, but I just decided to let it go. Not sure why now.

I'm impressed by the range of depth you achieved from the tip of the sword and hand to the hilt. I really like the bend at her elbow, great work man!
