She destroys her enemies with sword and magic. It took me a bit to actually start this one. I was looking to draw a dangerous female warrior type, but I really couldn't put it on paper. After it was done I added the fishnet and it just look alot like a predator from the movies. Overall I think she looks very dangerous.

Wow, she does look like a fierce combatant. Really good, it would look great I bet in color ::loves things in color, isn't a black and white type of person:: But this was excellently done.. You are really talented drawing the body in such a manner..I have problems with body portions

:-) James M. Russell replies: "I love black and white works, but I still hold a place in my heart for colors. I would try and computer color this but unfortunatly that amount of greys and shading that I have used usually makes it look like crap as soon as I start. I may go back over and ink this so that I can color it. Thank you for visiting."

It's funny because my first impression of this piece was the similarity between her and a movie predator. (That was before even reading the title, let alone the description.) It's a great piece, though. I love the detail. My only complaint is the small size.

:-) James M. Russell replies: "I agree, they are too small. The update after my curent update I will increase the size. If you would like to see larger versions sooner, please visit my personal gallery. "

She's scary! I'd prefer not meet her. But great shadings there! And anatomy. I like this one, this looks so real.

:-) James M. Russell replies: "I wouldn't mind redoing this one, possibly in color even. Thank you for visiting 2"

you´re right; she looks quite deadly. I´d stay away from her...

:-) James M. Russell replies: "Yeah, she does look hard to cuddle with..."

Skillfully done. But she's creepy, I don't like it. But I think that is less because it is bad and more of a personal preference thing. Her right arm is a tad awkward and the hand on that side too small. My only thoughts on it though. Toodles!

:-) James M. Russell replies: "So you think this one is bad? "

This is cool. Nice figure and interesting helmet. Fishnets are always a plus, too.

:-) James M. Russell replies: "I was hoping to mix metal and bone in this pic after I got the idea on what I wanted. So the choice on the helmut was to go metal or bone... well I started with bone and never even tried the metal... sigh... maybe next time. "

Do me a favor and learn to spell! To me her helmet seems a little bulky, but that's probably just a personal preference. Otherwise it's nice *cough* yer really good w/ shadin'. . .unlike me! ^_^ Ja ne!

:-) James M. Russell replies: "I'm a bit puzzled by your learn how to spell comment, but hopefully I still got my point across even if my words seemed that illegable to you. As for the rest of your comment, I'm not sure if your being sarcastic or honest. Oh well. Her helm is a bit bulky but I figured it fit in with the character and kept it that way. As for the shading, I have been practicing for a bit and it is one of my strong points. Thanks for visiting. "

:-) James M. Russell replies: "It's gotta be the shoes."

I LOVE this beautifully done mature female warrior. The proportions and shading are wonderful along with the creativity of the costume! Wonderful work.
