I think the blade needs a lot more work, but for a non-digital piece, this is excellent. Great work on the hip area and the bracers. I also like her hood and the scenery. I think her hands are a little rough and could be further defined, but I would not be able to do even close to the quality you have accomplished. Again, nice work.

Beautiful work, her face is absolutely -real-, & I love all the detail on her armor...& that dagger, oh my!

This is classic. I love it. It takes me back to when Fantasy RPG games were -really- fun to get into, and felt "special" in a lot of ways. Now, it all feels regurgitated - this feels so fresh but so aged, as though you created this for a game a decade ago and just decided to upload it - that's not a comment on your skill, but on your style. This is superb.

I liked the one that was just a naked woman standing straight at the camera doing nothing and the other one that was just a photo of boobs.

The picture:
At first I thought "me, another fantasy piece of some thief/assassin breaking into some nobles house" then I started noticing details.
The walls in need of repair, broken window (or whatever it is) and the worn down doorframe. All this points more towards some derelict building which is now used as a hideout for some gang/cult/tribe?
Pretty interesting. Add to this nicely crafted details in the fabric of the clothing and the wonderful lighting with sun from one side being contrasted by the bluish magic glow of the dagger and it's much more than met the eye in the first spot.
Only thing that somehow doesn't fit up is the position/proportions of the fingers around the daggers hilt. Either they've been broken and healed badly or they could need some work (easy to say, non-painter that I am...).
Too bad most people won't really notice all the little details in here due to the finished, mass-printed picture being about the size of a folded dollar bill.
The dagger:
pretty bad if an assassins dagger glows like that, no? So maybe she's a royal agent?

So awesome wish my oils looked like that!

I opened this picture just as the song "Krosah" by E.S Posthumus came on. Somehow the two came together to create an amazing and daring scene, with this beautiful woman as its leading lady. Definitely a provoking picture! It forced me to want to know the story!
