does she keep holsters on her somewhere? o_O I always wondered where she kept those guns. (I can't exactly buy comics so I am left to wonder this stuff. lol)

I will give that a try thanks. Do you use color pencil at all or you just light washes and air brush? If you don't ind me asking.

Great work...how much is brushwork? I am assuming the majority is airbrush, right?

mikemayhew In reply to AdamBraunArt [2009-11-04 04:00:25 +0000 UTC]

actually the majority is brushwork applied in thin washes.

This is absolutely awesome. I see some minor points that I could criticize but seeing how I'm a peasant and you're the Shogun, it would be wise for me to not do so.

That is gorgeous! Love the expression, the pose, the rendering. And I really like that you didn't crop it allowing us to see the rough edges beyond the boarders. Gives us a hint at your process.

Ridiculously realistic. I love the shadows and shades on her stomach and face, it's uncannily realistic. Great work as usual sir.
