@youen Your comment made my day. Thank you for saying such nice things, it means more to me than you know:) I'm so glad you like my artwork, and I'm honored to inspire you!
@rgdraw Working on it soon, probably tomorrow:)
@ninoune Thank you!
@kreyhardt Thanks so much!! And yeah, she's big. Maybe like 20 feet tall?
@Acolet Thank you so much:) I'm glad to know it got better!
@mavkrogan Thank you! And thanks for the suggestions:)
@oten Thank you! And yes, the brightness on her shoulder was intentional:)

Okay guys, this is the "finished version." That is, I'm calling this one done for now, and in a few days I'll come back to it and do a final pass. I'll get to making that .gif process:)

Nicely done

The illustration's looking awesome! One thing tho, I don't really get what's the intent of the character. She seems to be looking at her nose while swinging the weapon... did she even see the poor guy?

@eckzein Thank you:)
@yorieofthecastle Thanks! And I appreciate the feedback, I'll keep it in mind when I go back to it:)

Here's the .gif. I'll update it once I'm finished for good. If the animation isn't working, here's the link: .gif process

Amazing Damn the colors is still impressing me! The GIF is awesome too, I dont have any concerns so Im just giving praise and compliments ahhahaa! Keep it up

malcom 2017-01-01 12:26:09 UTC #86

This is really kickass my friend. Love the pose of the character. Very dynamic. Keep up the good work.

s-stark 2017-01-01 22:15:41 UTC #87

Love the new changes even more, all around awesome job. Really enjoyed watching the gif too.

rgdraw 2017-01-01 23:42:28 UTC #88

Awesome ! Thanks for the gif !

Wouldnt the dead deer receive the light of the fire also? Is that your intent in not doing that to get the eye away from them and more on the girl?

mishma 2017-01-02 03:15:24 UTC #90

Amazing....I hate you ...Ahah

johnnybillydobby 2017-01-02 14:07:27 UTC #91

It's crazy that you can start this over so much, it's lookin' sicker than ever. This newest one with the pushed style is very cool, really impressed that you went for that push so consciously and didn't just render the crap out of the more realistic one great job!

fistybiscuit 2017-01-02 18:38:52 UTC #92

That is absolutely amazing! I really like the way you redid it, to me it just seems like there is so much more tension in the pose like shes really going to clobber that dude! Very cool!

kinonato 2017-01-03 03:09:41 UTC #93

So far so GREAT!
Love the lighting effect.

SleepSheep 2017-01-03 14:38:21 UTC #94

I like this different style in the proportions of the body. This art really shows how screwed I would be if I met her in my camp.

sanguine 2017-01-03 17:11:17 UTC #95

@Kreyhardt Thank you so much for the nice words:)
@malcom Thanks so much, it means a lot coming from you:)
@s-stark Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it:D
@rgdraw Thanks! And no problem!
@leblancalexandre3d Yeah, I wanted more focus on Astrid. Also, the elk are kind of ethereal/light-absorbent, like dark spirits.
@mishma Thank you! Haha don't hate me!
@johnnybillydobby Thanks so much:) Trust me, it was not easy to start over so many times.. But I'm happy with the result and I'm glad you like it too:)
@fistybiscuit Thank you! She definitely is planning on slicing him in half:)
@kinonato Thank you!
@SleepSheep Thanks! Haha yes, you definitely don't want to mess with her.

Thanks for the support guys, I'll have some updates to post later today:) Keep an eye out!

aram 2017-01-03 20:01:23 UTC #96

I'm glad you went with the more stylized version it really makes it more appealing imo and your rendering skills are awesome.

HorizonDweller 2017-01-03 20:40:36 UTC #97

Ive said this already and i'll keep saying it.
I LOVE THIS PIECE .
the progress keeps surprising me everytime

Pregium 2017-01-04 14:20:37 UTC #98

first of all the piece is fantastic. if i may give some critics to it, i liked the first pose a bit more, the second is more grounded but it seems to lack a bit of expression, it somehow lost the "go away from my realm mortals!" feel she had at the beginning.
I think gods can have a detached expression but does not feel to match totally with such an energic pose.

nightblue-art 2017-01-04 14:30:38 UTC #99

Really cool to see this piece evolving over time. Your pose is awesomely dynamic. I like how you opted to zoom in more to capitalize her up-angle perspective. I think the composition could work better if she is looking more towards her victim (head tilt and eye direction?) and if she has more of a snarl or smirk, some sort of blood lust, on her face. Her pose is so weighty and explosive that I think you are fighting it by going for subtlty in expression. Keep up the great work

awesome progress!
