Description A digital painting of my thief, Shalien Ascendant, from Guild Wars 2.

She is walking up a shoreline after a long night fighting the undead in the sea of sorrows. I tried to show the exhaustion that would come after a multi-hour long fight. Much of her armor is broken and or missing.

The image is 3'x2' at 300 dpi.

The lightning and fire are from two in-game legendary weapons. In-game she looks like this: [link]

A very impressive character, I just love everything about her!
Could you perhaps tell me what is that armor she's wearing? ;v;

Is it me or does her body look a bit... off? I'm not sure... it looks like you did the head, neck and bosom first, then left to get something to drink, and drew the rest out of proportion from the rest... It looks really unnatural, as if her rib cage is three times the size it should be. :\ Aside from that, the effects look awesome, I really like how you did the waves and the sinking ship. The lighting looks awesome as well.

Thanks! Regarding the anatomy, I think the breast size may be throwing you off a bit. In-game they are just slightly smaller than the character's head. I outlined where the torso sits in yellow.

Wow! very great work! but if I could give you a piece of advice, I think that the water could have a better rendering if you would put more contrast: if you make the brightness with white color instead of light blue because it looks very smooth. but, that's a very small detail, I only give a piece of advice and that's only my opinion^^ but I think it would give a better rendering. but don't worry, I think that your painting is very amazing!^^
