This is very well done. I like the narrative you did about the three part images. I think that the fact that you did this with colored and graphite pencils is amazing. Very well done Raoul ~ Steve

A very nice looking image with a suitably dark setting. I like the hair and the closed eyes, but think she looks a lot like a hockey player.

I have no clue about the story line, but I find this drawing brilliantly rendered and at first sight I mistook it for an oil painting! The light and dark, the colours and creating the overall mood is very effective. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Neilnap773


composition is excellent and structure so good. The depth of your art work is outstanding and the use of chiaroscuro techniques is so effective here with the gorgeous creative light tones on the armour stand out so well as does her deep reddish tones of the hair..its an excellent palette and i have no hesitation in giving a six
