Its pronounced Heroine Sheek. Its a play on words of the early 90s fashion style called Heroin Chic, made famous by the model Kate Moss. I thought of the idea while leaving work the other day when I noticed they bleeped the word heroin out of a Papa Roach song. I'm not about the drug but I thought it would be kind of cool to dress a fashion model up in a heroine's outfit, namely chainmail, leather and a sword. Its also my first attempt at using the airbrush tool in Painter which turned out to be insanely easy. For additional reference, I used Omar Dogan's coloring tutorial for helping me out airbrushing the greyscale values and then multiplying the flat color layer on top. Thanks Omar for the great tutorial!

Please fullview for best viewing.

Edit: Omar Dogan gave me some awesome comments and I made some sizable edits, most noticably drawing the chainmail instead of using a repeating chainmail pattern. Thanks for calling me out on being lazy Omar. Man, my hand hurts.
