Oh wow, your image ratio experiments are working for you I really like the composition, "crop", and the perspective here! You've also pulled of the shiny sword really well. Great job on this one - too.

Fuck that sword is fucking huge. Not that I'd make it smaller, I'm just terrified by it.

Fantastic colors and that format gives me happy chills.

Silver-Falcon [2008-02-03 00:22:47 +0000 UTC]

It looks like you're playing up the fantasy aspect a bit more in this one, based on Bianca's armor. It looks pretty nice, but the wrap on the hilt of her sword makes it look like it's angled differently than the blade.

Hope you feel better soon.

Ooo niftastic, love the detailing.
Only thing is her head looks a little small? Or her shoulders are really broad? I know she's like, this kick-ass chick, but even so something looks a little off in that area. I'm no expert so I can't give much more critique than that

Geez. I wish I could solidify passing ideas as well as you do sometimes. Her armor vaguely reminds me of WOW or Warhammer.

Nice to see Bianca as usual. Love the eyepatch.

yup, it's a common film ratio. translated into pixels, 2350 x1000 and any multiple /division there of.

Perfect selection of movement and color choice, Dan. *3* If this ends up in your print lineup, count me in as a buy. I love her cloak scarf thing, the choice for the red is just so fantastic. So many little details like the tattered edges too!
Great job, as usual. : D
