Dominance War V - The Rise of Gods!

My thread on GA: http://www.gameartisans.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19705

I won't cross post everything here so check the thread for more blurb. My character is called The Verse Goddess and her power lies in being able to make real anything that has ever been written. I plan on giving her inky summoned beasties and armaments in the final illustration.

Here is what I've posted over on my thread so far (most recent at the bottom):

Tooling about with Sai

Playing with some new brushes and shamelessly plagiarising styles at the same time!

One more for today (yesterday?)

Not very impressive

Trying to speed up my process here. This just shows how much time I spend mucking about with tiny tweaks! I think I still need to simplify how I'm laying down the basic shapes on these faces and not worry about smoothing things out until later stages.

Portrait for a friend

Getting a bit faster

I'm not sure if the likeness has quite 'clicked' for me with this one but I'm pleased with it nonetheless. Study of a still from a film.

Self portrait, better than the one I did when I was 4 (marginally)

Another (not so) quick value study

Also from reference. This piece just doesn't do the girl justice, she is so beautiful!

Quick face study, from ref

Rusty, very rusty!
