I really like the colors that you have chosen for this piece. Your use of warm and cool colors gives us a sense of drama and excitement! Like always, you have created a very compelling piece of artwork. I imagine the story behind this character!

Like everyone I think this picture is top notch.

But I have a question, you stated that you made this for Games Workshop? :surprised
GW has massive copy right issues and don't like to share so this confuses me greatly.

The stereo version of your work looks just fantastic, thanks for showing this technique of looking at the pictures. The four layers just perfectly pass together in stereo looking.

Amazing! especially with the 2.5d stereovision, It knocked me off my chair!!
the sparks are so delicious every spark and every piece of debris is just right in place, it looks so random as if it's taken straight off an action scene!
this is a carnival of delicious art, thank you for sharing! love it!!

Holy crap!! Its the first time in my whole life that i´ve managed to see this kind of 2.5d effect in an image! I have never been able to see those ilustrations with black spots over white backgrounds that are suposed to be figures and stuff, and i thought this would be the same.

It took me a while,and i thought i was going to end up crossed eyed for life, but after reading the link and really concenrtrate on the image, i finally could see it in 3d! Yey! :D

Fantastic image!! I thought it was beautiful when i saw the "normal" version, but when i saw it in stereo... man, it came to life! How does one do to make that effect?

Anyways, congrats! :thumbsup:

Very cool, though a little chaotic. I don't know where the sparks are coming from or how they got there (not much context), but they look really, really nice. Other highlights: her skin and her eyes, awesome work on her facial expression.

I like the whole things except the character. The character to me does not look hardcore at all. She is being fired at and instead of having a mean look she is posing for the camera. Anyone with this kind of action in the background would not be modeling to take a picture. The background is very well executed, i just don't like the way the character is modeling that's all. To me she is ready to do the catwalk on a runway. She does not fit the title that was given. Keep up the good work...
