SciFi and Fantasy Art: Stiletto

Stiletto is one of my favorites. I like the way the hair turned out and the way she's posed. Sort of 'guard up' prepared for something she knows is about to happen. I also like the way the scale skirt turned out. The picture is actually quite large and I couldn't fit it entirely on my scanner, so the bottom is cut off. It's a graphite study, obviously, but I had fun working with the rune embossing, and some other elements on it. Ryan

I am not the one to comment often on female pics like these, but i must say you really were able to catch the emotion you were going for in the drawing. i think it shows that we women are always on guard 2 i like this fierce portrayal of a female. Keep up the good work

:-) Ryan W Hurst replies: "Thank you very much! I really tried hard to go for exactly what you mentioned. A guarded warrioress...I really like the word you chose, fierce, because that's exactly what I tried to express. Thank you for your kind words!"

Pose, shading, composition, all these are very cool here!
There is one thing I'd change, however: The eyes could be a bit darker, they seem somewhat pale with all the deep shades in the picture. Is all of this done with one kid of pencil, or different ones?

:-) Ryan W Hurst replies: "Again, from you, man...I appreciate the good words and the constructive criticism. I would really have liked to take the time to do something like what you've done on your "wormwood stalker" piece. Background is what is often lacking in my work and is something that really brings out the work. I also agree with not only the eyes, but the face. Unfortunately, I'm a man of little free time, so sometimes I skimp on things and look back later (or in this case have it pointed out) that I've missed something! Thanks again!!!"

Soo... Her upper body seems too long and her waist is too narrow Imho... There is also a slight diffrence in legs her right being more muscular than her left... But again I admire your skills with pencils ^^

Truly wonderful work but her eyes look too small. Other than that it is great!
