Description
You all have no idea how happy and relieved to be done with this piece. I thought I would never finish. It was exhausting, time consuming, and overall, a royal pain in the ass. But I finally finished. I promised an Aphrodite IX piece with a background as this is what I could come up with. Aphrodite in a pool of blood. As a cyborg assassin, she's got lots of it, on her hands. Literally. Well, maybe not in this picture, but you get the point. The longest was thinking of a background and to execute it to make it look futuristic and realistic the same time. The pose was very, very challenging. I struggled with it a little. The most fun was her face and her skirt, although I kept having to go back to my Aphrodite IX comic book to make sure I was keeping true to the original outfit.Anyways feedback and comments are always welcome!
Utensil(s) Used: .7mm mechanical pencil, Q-tips for shading.
Time: Approximately 8-9 hours

Forty-natelu... Fortunately you didn't toss it away for all your efforts paid off and as said earlier you can be proud of it! I like the bad-ass looking. She has a certain deadly, robotic charm

Haha, thank you! Robots aren't the easiest to draw but fortunately for me, Aphrodite is pretty human looking.

Aww, thank you so much Mania! It took quite awhile, and got so detailed that I was ready to toss it away. I'm glad to know that all that irritation wasn't for nothing.

I totally love this piece! I love the pose and her determined expression. Great job on the background and I gotta say the hair turned out perfectly!
The shading on her skin looks excellent aswell!
The only thing that looks odd to me is her left leg, it doesn't look attached to the body, but that's just minor. With such a tricky pose you've really outdone yourself. I could never pull off such an amazing piece of art as you've done here, so kudos to you.

I am so glad that you like it Jerica! It was really tricky and I'm actually surprised that people like it so much. I thought it didn't turn out as good as it could of. Thank you again Jerica!

No matter how exhausting and time consuming this was, you should be damn proud of it, this HAS to be your best drawing yet. I looked through your gallery and was gonna take my time to make a selection of your best piece for that poll of yours, but this is by far, THE best.
Just get someone to do a coloured version and BAM! It'll look x10 more sexy than it is right now!

You read it correctly. Now you have to try to top that! Kinda like how people are expecting The Dark Knight Rises to top The Dark Knight...
