cult of the Piercing Eye

[Hunger_Artist]

very large sketch detailed in photoshop/painter.

Girl holding a ruler was used for pose ref, and there is heavy use of photo-textures.

It is convienient that there is a bandage over the eyes, because I still need alot of work with faces :P

I really like the texture in this. But the big thing that sticks out for me is the arm holding the sword. It's way too long, and the hand on the sword hilt looks awfully stiff. Also, she has the edge of the blade resting on her shoulder...maybe it should be flipped over or else she would cut herself?

looks like she already cut herself, the sword aint resting on her shoulder anymore, it is resting somewere lower :)

Beside some structual 'misstakes' it makes a very nice image.

Ive been loving your technique for a while now and this is a fantastic example of it. You use color and texture so well in your work, it always has a very nice mood to it. nice work =)
