I love the colours and the whole composition. And, as already mentioned by Sekoiya, it's great to see pictures of women warriors in practical clothes and with natural proportions.

Thanks!
Quoting George Martin from an interview: "Treat female characters like people." And everything works. It's no different in art than in writing. I confess it's easy for me to say so 'cause I seldom draw characters who are only there to look pretty and show off some fancy clothes, there must be a character behind, at best a story.

Wow, I like this! Not often you see pictures of warrior-type ladies in practical armor. Good job! ^_^

Thanks!
It's a story illustration, the whole background demands practical armor. (Besides, I like chain and scale mail.)

Oh, practical armor is definitely a good thing! I dunno about you, but I get really sick and tired of seeing lady-characters in outfits/armor that are clearly meant to turn them into eye candy. >_< So yes, seeing a gal with a whole, functional outfit is very refreshing.

Just the same. I'm fine with more fantasy-like armor as long as it's practical, while here I wanted something more or less medieval. And cheap, 'cause the lady has no money for fancy stuff.
I think I actually painted her silhouette a bit too slender, as she wears a padded gambeson beneath the chainmail, which would normally leave her pretty bulky.

Great work! Everything about is cool, the pose, the shading, the composition - its just a very cool image!
