A commission piece for a friend.

I removed the steampunky backpack at his request, since he wanted something a bit more realistic in the form of a glossy red, winged backpack. I also left the horns off to try and keep the model looking more human. New hair was greenstuffed on to fill the gaps.

Painting wise, this was awesome fun, and I learned a lot. Really pleased with the face in general (eyes were a pain in the ass!), and I've been trying to take my blending and directional highlighting a bit further into a more ambient feel, rather than the edge highlights of old.

Freehanded raven on moon emblem on the coat turned out quite well in my opinion, and overall I'm pretty pleased with how she's turned out.

Comments and crits more than welcome

One of the most beautiful pieces I've seen (by you or anyone, in truth.) The attention to detail is amazing, even down to the fine brushwork of the eyes and face. I think the self-sculpted scenery suits the model perfectly with its complementary colors and shape. Last but not least, the unique conversion for the winged backpack is a great fit for the model and still sits comfortably with the figure's overall "feel." Brilliant!

It's truly one of the finest examples of your work yet, Ap0k. It's a shame this isn't better ratings, (8.8 avg isn't justice for work of this calibre).
