The name of the picture is enough, isn't?

Yeah, I've seen that one. Definite copy.

First of all, I'm sorry about the delay, and thanks for all the comments that I didn't answer.

About the recent controversy about being a copy from Royo artwork:

I admit, that's very similar to two (at least) of Royo's pieces, "under the blues" and "bifid chiaroscuro" (these are the names of the pictures in the site "imagenetion", at least). But, differently of what was said, that's not just the same picture done in graphite, obviously. These three, mine and the two of Royo, are pictures of the same situation, described in general terms "a female warrior holding a sword piercing a mithical creature", basically, but it could go a bit further in the similarities of the three warriors bodies, faces, hair color (not really, but about being dark), at least, and "armors".

Differences are mainly the nature (at least in one, where the beast seems to be more mammal-like than a dragon) and size of the beast (and, with the modesty asides, I think that if there's something that I like my pic more than Royo's ones, is this dragon), and that I made a miserably failed attempt to make a background - a light one, differently of both of Royo's pics, where's there's no background, but only darkness.
Also Royo's warriors are looking direct at us, more like a magazine cover pose, while mine is with the eyes closed (not much less magazine-cover like posing, but yet she isn't looking direct at "us").
Anyway, although there are many similarities, I don't think that it could be considered a plagiarism, and it's far away from being a copy of the same picture (of one of them)... (if was an attempt to, I'd have been paradoxically failed and yet been very lucky with the result...). If this could be considered a copy, anything that fits in a same general description, would be also copies, including these specific Royos pics, eventually (I guess I remember of a pic, of an artist called "San Julian" (?), which was a female warrior with a sightly heavier armor posing after killing a giant, or besides of a killed giant.
If we search for general descriptions like "warriors posing", "warriors facing a monster" we will find thousands of "copies" of someone like Frazzeta, Vallejo, Alan Lee and others. And even they were not totally original. They based their works on something of earlier artist like the pre-raphaelites, greek artists, and there it goes...

I should stop right now. That's sounding like a apologia for the lack of creativity. That's not what I intend to. I don't claim any creativity for this one, but yet that's not a plagiarism, in my humble opinion.

There's no way in Hades she could have slain a dragon that big and walked away without a scratch. Nice legs though.

Hi is they'er a way that i can ask u to draw 1 more.

I like it!!! I just would like to see a fight pic as well.
And ur warrior is so hot too.

Oh bah, like any respectable warrior would go slaying in such unprotective armor as that. Anyone who goes after a dragon like that ends up its meal, enough said. But beside that the detail on the dragon is well done.

Yeah, see above. ^^

No self-respecting warrior of any gender goes out wearing that against anything, much less a dragon beast thing.

Not that I don't appreciate the eye-candy, just pointing that out. 12

But then, that's a common complaint. lol

Excellent work in shading, beautiful work.

Hmmm I wonder how her outfit protected her from that dragon.. It barely covers her boobs. Why not just go fight a dragon wearing two nickles and a corn chip?!
