“My burning fate is seething with hate, I will set this kingdom a light.”

I put a lot of effort into this piece so this is most likely one of the best digital artworks I have ever done. I have not done any serious realistic drawings in a while and I wanted to use the full potential of my Wacom Cintiq 21UX instead of doing another traditional art piece like this one: [link] essentially this pieces is a digital version of that one. The traditional one took 10 hours on my lap at my Mums house while this one to 20 to 25 on my pen tablet. There was no traditional sketch for this piece; the sketching was all done on my pen tablet.

But yeah, anyway. This is a drawing of Eve in the middle of one of the weird dreams she keeps having if you have read my fan fiction you will understand what I am talking about. That light in her eyes is like the light at the end of the tunnel, although every time she tries to run or fly towards it she does not get any closer. I worked from photograph for this drawing, so it is a matte painting.

Title is from this song: - Looks that kill by Mötley Crüe

"Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart

Now she's a cool, cool black
Moves like a cat
If you don't get her game
You might not make it back

She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill

She's got the looks that kill
Now she's bulletproof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
She's a number thirteen

The church strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on our juice, boy
So she turns on the power

She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill

She's got the looks that kill
Now she's bulletproof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
She's a number thirteen

The church strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on our juice, boy
So she turns on the power

She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill"

I really love this artwork. It has an old-timey portrait feel as well as a futuristic metallic feel. I especially love how you did the textures. I can almost feel the metal and feathers. The only issue I see is the lighting. I can't really tell where the light is shining, as it looks kind of awkward. But, I probably wouldn't have noticed it at first glance anyway. But who am I to talk? This art looks extremely professional. I love how the colors match up, and how you were able to effectively make the symbol look like part of the cloth.
Sorry if this critique is too unorganized...
