If you're following the series in order, click here next .

The objective of this one was to show the moment right before she capitulates--which means "gives in." Here the pressure on her is at its greatest, with the ties in her hair pulling her head backwards, and the noose on her neck pulling her forwards and squeezing off her air supply. Her struggle to regain her feet and higher ground now just increases her own trouble--the gremlins just have to hold on and her own struggles will spell her doom. Yeah, I tried to put all of that in there, most of it concentrated into her face, the poor girl. ;) :mwahaha: I use that last icon a lot...

Enjoy!

That's teach her for using that new revitalising shampoo. Sometimes greasy hair can come in handy! ;)

:laughing: She does have rather nice hair, which seems impractical for a woman warrior--she probably should go all "G.I. Jane" and butch it, but that's just not my thing... ;)

Honestly I do not go for your theme:giggle: That's just me, but I have to admit your drawing skill is amazing. Your ladies are all gorgeous and your works all have a soul:clap:

I can't believe how well you draw hair with pen. This pic is a wonderful demonstrtion of that showing whats being held tight, and whats hanging a bit more loosely. You also have texture and a bit of shine in in her hair that doesn't conflict with the dark atmosphere which I think would be a bit of a challenge since most things in here are almost black ot heavily shaded . As always the whole picture is good, but thats one of the things that stood out to me the most :)

Now, remember how I said page 15 was my favourite. I was wrong, this one is my favourite by far!

:laughing: Thank you. Well, it may be a twisted and darkened soul, but it's still a soul. You wouldn't be the first (nor the last) to dislike the theme of much of my work, but you are one of the few who feels that way but still can recognize the art and skill in it, which is a very welcome thing. =) Hopefully there is something in my gallery that you can appreciate on a thematic basis...

Man, her expression, facial mostly, really says it all for the viewer.

Gorgeous shading work on her pants. :worship:
