Outstanding work
the linework is flawlessly done, the colours are neutral and earthy... lovely palet of colours indeed... all the details... DETAILS! are bloody fan-saba-tastic!!! the amount of pure awsomeness just oozes from this piece... theres is however a few minior things such as dodgy shading here and there... but the mud/paint effects on the skin as well as a large amount of the colouring just blows away most of the artwork i have seen...
ok so wheres these minor issues?... well lets start with the boots... theres a bit of white peeping through, the colours arnt constantly blended, theres areas which are next to large big strokes of blocked colour, "scribbly colouring in" on her left ankel, the shading on the leg seems a tad rushed and could use with a bit of neatening up... you seem to loose that black line in the belt without any colour issues so its rather odd... like you have coloured over the linework... feathers and beads nicely done, not sure on the shading on her hand holding the axe as its rather harsh *i understand thats from putting her war paint on but it would go around her palm and not suddleny stop abruptly*, possbly more detail on the wooden handel of the axe and neatening up of the fur so the white underlay is either blured into the background or removed, some lovely detailing on the fur and face work is lovely along with everything else... seems like you worked down the picture and your work and got a bit sloppy due to the fact that you thought that theses areas wouldnt get looked in as much detail or just lost focus and interest...
the background is simple and crisp... lovely use of colours and artist style to block it off like that to the top with a white underlay... athough similar effect with sloppyness at the bottom with the colouring in as there are areas which seem to be lacking the quality of the rest of the piece... really like the way you constructed the trees as i find it highly realistic and artistic...
i hope you find my review of great use and not just someone who just finds flaws in it... you have fantastic potential *if not already great potentail!* but just need to tidy things up in my view... 10/10 for the quality of work as always at its truely remarkable to view!... look forward to more of your fantastic art prodects and flashes in both the art and flash portal in the very near future!!!...
i hope you never stop drawing as you are truely a master of the arts...
