Description
I haven't slept since 10 am Sunday morning. I think I'm losing my mind... This is the result. I did a buttload of painting to make it look like dusk.

*Edited* I took the awesome ~nemina 's advice and fixed the grainy clouds as well as adding a few highlights. Thanks, sweetie! This is now dedicated to you.

This is freakin' awesome. Eden, where do you get your inspiration? She is definitely the "watcher". I love her red hair by the way.

That crow behind her head is my most favorite stock picture of a crow ever. The birdie knows it's a real star. 
And I adore female warriors.

That's what it was based on... kinda.

Aw, I love this! You got the lighting so perfectly even to match the background! (BTW, one of the girls I go to school with just looked over my shoulder and said she liked it too! ^.^ ) Hehe, great job!

!?!?! WHAT??? You need to sleep!!!
(kick ass piece by the way; don't take this the wrong way, since you know I'm no expert at this, but her head looks a little off and bright compared to the rest of her skin tone. Overall quality is excellent though!)
NOW GET SOME SLEEP!

This isn't so terrible as you made it out to seem. I do agree with what nemina said, though. It has a nice atmosphere to it, and I really think you hit a home run with the title.

Yeah, I'll definitely take her advice considering she's a genius.

Yeah, making the sky look dusk or night is so hard to do. The clouds have too much of a colour-y grain from the quality. What I do to solve it is use the eyedrop tool and paint blues/greys over it to cover it up. I like how you made her skin silky smooth and her hair looks wonderful. I do think that the stones behind her need to have a bit of light shining on them since her face has light shining on it. It looks nice though and I'm definitely faving it.

Thank you so much for the advice! I'll have to fix the sky and stones up after I've gotten some sleep.
