Description

The prophet Ilijaa

This was a very spontaneous idea I decided to run with. It ended up taking far too long to finish, though—one distraction after another pulled me away. I also nearly killed myself taking the reference photos.

Hopefully she looks balanced. I sure wasn't.

I sketch those giant skull helmets constantly. This summer I plan to build a real one.

PS 7.0. Crits welcome, as always. :] Thanks for looking!

Excellent. I agree with Cigaro, I would add about 150 pixels more at the right and about the left... it is near ok... maybe 5 to 10 pixel less.

Simple composition but it works; I like the discreet texture work in the background, and the figure's anatomy is spot on; Very unique pose, I bet it was tough, but you handled it well. +10

Great work

Apologies for my late comment
I really like the dynamic pose and how the image flows

The background and floor are flowing into eachother
Perhaps its an idea to seperate them a bit more?

Lovely work + 10
