Description
Below is the preliminary sketch. I filled in the silhouette over this as a mask, and then let textured brushes do the rest of the work.The bow is loosely based on a traditional Japanese design. 4.bp.blogspot.com/-lI59P4ddaCw…
It is consistent with the theme of asymmetrical balance that I was going for in the pose.

Really cool and dynamic. I love how her leg is lifted to kind of form a bow shape of its own. Great work!

Lovely. I saw it in MJWilliam 's favorites. From the thumbnail I assumed it was a photograph of a bronze statue.
I like it even better this way.
The full-size version is stunning.

Have you thought about doing several of these? You have the archer (awesome, by the way), so now I think we'd need a swordsman, a fan-dancer, a pole-arm, all those kinds. They'd look good as a simplistic japanese art collection!

That's an excellent idea! I just find myself with a shortage of time.
Thanks!

So now that you've had a few years, ever think about returning to this and making it a series after all?

When I saw the pic, It remembered me immediately of Kyudo, japanese Archery. The 2/3 at top, 1/3 at bottom asymmetry is good, but the top part of the bow would lean a bit forward and you'd get an even more impressive asymmetric design - more accurate i'd be, too. The arrow is a bit too high. It should touch your cheekbones - or even lower, depending on the school.
But never the less, it's a very nice picture ^^
