Description
Another progress shot for my Hope fanart piece. Having quite recovered from my recent stiffness in my right arm, I was able to add quite a bit more to the piece. I added the flames, and tightened up the shapes on the character's body, as well as adding more to the background rubble as well. I'm still in the process of finishing up the rendering on the character, so I still have to fix up the lighting coming from the flames.

This shot is missing the heavy ink outlines and sketch textures on the character. I may have to fix those up so that they compliment the character more, rather than become too distracting. I'm also considering adding a texture to the leg armor as well. I also need to paint up the bit of cloak that you can see behind her body and leg, as well as her arm armor and wrappings.

Any additional comments and suggestions you can provide are definitely welcome! I think I'm already doing everything I can do on my own, so I'll appreciate anything that can help me bump this piece up to the next level!

Pencils on A4 Vellum Board, colored on Photoshop CS3, with a Genius G-Pen 450. Primary painting brush is the default Chalk brush, effects done with my custom flame and cloud brushes.
