Hello again everyone,
The War Witch is another original character that I have created for my campaign. She is the avatar of the queen of evil and was created in Painter 9.5 using a Intuis 3 with the Intuis 6D pen.
Thanks for letting me share it with you,

The lighting on them looks a little off... seems like the pure white reflection should be on the other one, to match the direction its hitting the rest of her.
That one dark shadow on the side of her face, beneath her cheek is really throwing off how I thought her face was constructed... she doesn't really seem to have corresponding features on the other side. All the highlights on her face generally feel a lot more 'spotty' when compared to the oiled up smoothness of her body.
Her hair should be doing all sorts of interesting reflections as well as her body. She does condition, right?
interesting piece, right off these are some things i would work on:
the color temperature all throughout is hot, would be nice to see some cooler areas in there, maybe even some complementary to really make the hot areas pop. i would also tone down on the saturation a bit...dodowa over at conceptart is a master at contrasting warm and cool, like in this picture: http://www.orbiterdesigner.com/bronzeage/1_1.htm
the pose is balanced but overall i think the figure work could be better, right now it's a clean silhouette with airbrushed gradients, but i'm not getting a sense of real understanding of human anatomy. her arms in particular look inflated as she has very thick wrists and no dents for the inner elbows. would be great to see some rough grayscale renders from you before diving too deeply into render land
not a fan of the costume, but whatever floats your boat. keep posting!
