Description Ha! I didn't kill it.

Win.

BTW, if you ever see a sky those colors, run. Run for your life. (Into a ditch, or a basement, or a bathroom, preferably.) Unless you live in like New York City.

There may be a tutorial on this coming, if I get un-lazy enough to do it.

expect to wait a few years. Before I can even start on research, I have to find time . . . and I've just recently started a new full-time job. But it'll really motivate me to know that people are looking forward to it!

I've been working on a novel series for 7 years. I know how long of a wait it can be >.< I'm a patient person!

chain mail ftw. Unfortunately, it tends to also destroy my patience .. . . and my hands.

It will be, someday. The story is still getting mapped out in my mind, but she's the main character, and the sword she's holding is also a character. the rest is secret! (meaning not yet thought out)

hm....

sounds interesting, if you need a beta or someone to help you with mapping out the plot, i'm up for it

i'm sorry to say this, but i figured the character was a boy when i first saw this

i gave it a... i guess you could say biblical look. my subconscious made it look like a guy with white angel wings was holding the sword, something like the war Morning Star created

She's supposed to be very boyish, in a way, but more than anything she's supposed to be (at least in her mind) a warrior before she's a woman.

I'm sure my friends are sick of me always throwing ideas at them, so I may have to take you up on that. XD win.

After eight years of no one being able to tell if someone is a girl or a guy when I draw them, I don't get very insulted by that any more. Unless there is obvious boobage. Then maybe.

you haven't seen the stuff I HAVE killed . . . . I took a lot of risks on this picture, and that generally ends in failure.

You must do a tutorial on the chain mail! Its so perfect! And you really know how to use a lineart to its full potential.
