SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Lady

I ached in every fibre of my body. I was cold and wet. And my mouth tasted of mud, foul water and blood. When I tried to move a dozen of wounds gave me a painful reminder of their existence, and a wave of dizziness and nausea washed over me. I groaned. Without question – I should be dead.
