Impressive.
But, arn't the reflection of the eyes on the blade wrong? Her left eye should be on our left. Or it's someone elses eyes and I just made a fool out of myself.

Hehehe, I was kind of hoping no one would notice that. Yeah, I cheaped out and did the reflection by copying the layer and lowering it to the blade, then lowering the opacity. So it didn't reflect accurately. Good catch!

Was it not possible to mirror it instead of rotating it? I don't draw, so I have absolutly no idea how this works!

Well, I was able to rotate it and flip it to appear kind of mirrored, but even that can't cast the fully backwards image a real mirror provides. Unfortunately, if there is a way to mirror it with the tools, I'm not sure what it is, since I'm just a fiddler with these programs myself.
Also, the real problem was that at that particular angle, a true mirrored image would have had to be cast from the viewpoint of the dagger, giving an upward reflection of her eyes. To do that, I would have had to draw them separately and make them much more angled, looking up, with full view of the underside of her lashes.
Since I was still working on this picture on the last day of the competition, I settled for the lazy shortcut instead

Thank you so much! I realized after I submitted it that the layer with the light beams was turned off when I saved it as JPEG, so that's missing, but oh well

You're most welcome...

Gorgeous! Love so much about this one; her very 'businesslike' expression, the colours, the shading and her reflection on the sword. I seem to find something new every time I look at this!

Thanks! I'm unaccustomed to working in color, except for the cartooning, so this one was a bit of an experiment in errors before I got it right. It was a lot of fun, though

Thanks! I'll admit, I was swearing up a storm, thinking that I've got to be less ambitious when it comes to lighting. I think a nice, FLAT cartoon is in order next

Wow, Dasque, this is awesome! I love the look on Tallis' face... a little fun, a little mischievous, a little "I'll cut you". Or maybe a lot of "I'll cut you." Even after being elbow deep in wyvern shit. Especially then.

Thanks! I wanted to get her smirk down, even if it doesn't really look like Felicia
