Description Another painting of Holly, a character from the Artemis Fowl books.

The first thing I came up with is the pose then I decided that she should be at her desk in the LEP building, probably listening to some briefing or something.
I almost didn't include the chair, but it looked weird having a desk like that and no chair, so it ended up being one of the last things I painted, and very lazily.
I really wanted to get this done sooner, but had some difficulties with parts of it and got frustrated and decided that I wouldn't rush it, so I took a break from it for a while and came back with a fresh look.
When I came back to it I was able to quickly identify what was wrong with it and finished it up. There are some rough spots that I plan on fixing up later.

Let me know what you think about this.

UPDATE 2/5/2015: Made some improvements, this is now 1000% better. Trust me, I did the math.
-Changed Holly, she looks A LOT better now.
-Fixed up some rough spots.
-Worked on the chair a bit more.
-Increased overall brightness.
-Did some post-processing to change the colors slightly.

Coming up next: Butler, so get ready!

This is great!
I love all the details (like Holly´s eyes, they´re amazing) and it looks overall like an awesome illustration.
I also really like how you did the lamps, they look so real! just like the chair.

Haa, so this is the finished version, awesome!  (Really like some of the adjustments you made to Holly, she looks great.  I really like her slightly changed hairstyle, and I love the knife on her boot.)  You're right, the chair adds a lot to this picture, and helps evoke the idea of a workdesk more...really love the design for it, I can totally picture it in an LEP office.  (Sort of futuristic, but not very comfortable, hehe.)  Ha, I know just what you mean about getting frustrated, leaving it alone for awhile and coming back for a new look. I have to do that a lot. (Hence why I have so many unfinished AF fanarts sitting around. X3) Can't wait to see the next one~! C:

Thanks Axxonu, I'm glad you like it!
Yeah, that chair does not look very comfortable, my only goal for it was to make it look interesting. It also looks like its rather unstable.
