Wanted to try more FOE: Heroes work eventually and can't recall seeing a depiction of the scarred up side of Silver's face. I'm sorry if it looks kind of like a weird splatter.
If she seems rather stallion-ish, that was completely intentional.
So I've been admiring your blackjack work for a while and then I saw this. I knew once I finished Project horizons to date I'd have to start Heroes. I have to say, I can't Imagine her looking any other way. This is (in my opinion) the de facto go-to Image for Silver. You sir, are an amazing artist.
IMHO this is the best depiction of Hired yet. No one else managed to convey the sheer size and "subtlety" of Silver Storm as much you did.
As much as I love the drawing itself though, it would have benefited immensely from a little touching up after the scan. It's very pale and blurred. Just look how a little application of the Auto-Levels tool and a sharpness filter can make the drawing shine:
Thank you for the feedback. The original intent was to try some new techniques and brushes out on her and it was originally going to be part of a larger, more complete picture. Just something to play around with mood and whatnot. I agree that the example you provided looks really good and probably would have worked better for a stand alone character picture like this.
