Description

The angry bark of the gun
silent now, a sure sign; someone had won
The rage inside so unexpected,
now, she will have to be respected.


This is my first 'serious' work so please be gentle.
Actually no, ravage it with your critical comments.
I have learned from doing it, but I have not learned enough. Your comments, pointers to tutes etc will be welcome.

What I have learned so far;
1) Get the sketch right before scanning, working on the form is hard once inside the magic computor box.
2) Skintones are hard.
3) Fabric is hard.
4) Fsck, everything is hard ;)

I think I got the gist of my concept into photons.
When (if) I get better, I might re-do this work.
But generally I am happy with the tone of the picture (if not the technical aspects).
It is meant to show a woman who has confronted a threat to her life and vanquished it violently. But who is going to bear the scars?
The victim who is dead or the victor who remains to live with the memory of the violence?

Photoshop 7 and 4 (Long story, had to reinstall) and WACOM Graphire.
Total 10h.

This is a great first effort. Practice practice practice - that is all it takes for the sketches - photo reference is excellent to use. Also Wacom tablets are ace!

Keep up the good work!!!
