Description
ForEmily's greatest fear is that she will be ordered to kill someone one day, as she is a part of the military. Yes, that's another reason why she dislikes shooting. If she was ordered to shoot someone, and even worse, if it was a civilian, it would break her.
I attended a lecture on digital background drawing and was recommended a book on digital drawing techniques, so I tried some new things in this picture. It took longer than I expected, but I'm quite satisfied. At least it isn't my usual backgroundless, static and boring stuff.
--------------------------
Originally, the drawing had a blue/green tint, but I liked this version better. You can see the former version along with the original (very messy) sketch and one shading detail below:

The angle is perfect. Unusual angles are great for disorientation, arent they? And despite the light shining behind Emily, the blood is somehow the brightest, most noticeable thing in the picture.

Woahh this is really unsettling! I love how you did the angle, it looks a bit distorted, and I think it fits with the theme very well. The composition and poses are well done too

That perspective! Nice job!
Quite a tough fear to conquer. But its a wonderful idea. Especially with a lot of stories having the character kill someone and walk it off. Good job!

Thank you! And I'm glad you like the idea, I thought the fear was too common, but then again most characters are so tough they won't even blink at killing others. I thought that for a character who strives for a peaceful future, this would be the worst thing possible.

I love the new technique! It looks amazing!! The tilt of the picture really gives it this extra unreal feeling, like the world is spinning out from under her feet. The red of the blood really draws your eyes too. It looks really amazing!!
A fear like that is very understandable, and very real since she's a part of the military, that could very well happen. Though I really hope it doesn't!!!

Thank you very much! I am very happy the composition worked, that's exactly what I was going for
And she will have to use her gun in the future, though fortunately not on civilians and it should make her rather glad she learned how to use it. She will come dangerously close to fulfilling this fear though.

Yeah it looks great!
That's scary that she comes so close to fulfilling her fear, I'm glad she doesn't end up shooting a civilian though. That'd be devastating!

Hope she won´t come in that situation that soon, or never.
The light is great

She shouldn't, I hope Well, never on civilians. She will get into a situation where she will have to shoot someone/something, but I intend to make her develop a certain feeling of gratitude that she had to learn how to use the gun. And thank you!

Yep. Killing anyone can do a number on anybody. :/

For sure, but idealists who end up doing the very thing they despise can be broken by something like this.

I adore both the lighting and framing of this picture. It gives it such a distinctive feeling and sense of drama. It really tells a story, its beautiful!

A belated thank you! I wanted to improve the composition of my drawings because they always felt very flat and static, so I'm very happy it conveys well what I was going for Especially since you think it tells a story, that was my goal

This. Is. AMAZING!
I see so much improvement in your art. As I said earlier, I love the "dramatic angle" of this a lot. And the colors and shading add more depth into this picture. I really really love it.
But poor Emily, hope her fear never comes true.

A belated thank you! I can proudly say I saw some improvement here as well I'm very happy you like the changed angle, the original sketch was okay-ish but I also think this is better
