Description

:bulletred: Mysterious creature that hides in the shadows to slay the White King.

This piece took about 5 hours. But before it I had two more tries and they didn't satisfy me. And now I like how this went out :) Hope you like it too :la:

Honestly your current avatar is waaaaaaay more :star: YOU :star: than your previous. Yes it was animated but it was also creepy and black :/
I look at her and I expect her to blink. Yo got that blink into my head :shakefist: Darn you!

OKs!!! This is one of the first deviations I saw from you, besides Kikloh... the one that made us meet :love: I'm thankful to that picture ^_________^
Her face looks sorta like Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. The bright dark red lips tighten the impression of her being a cunning mistress of shadows. :devilish:
What I never understood though are those little horns on her hood. What are those? They look weird.
I see you've tried a bit of shines here particularly on her hair and skin. In some parts it worked but in others, not so much :/
Somehow her head looks a bit too monumental for that tiny hand. And it's clutched around a dagger. It makes it even more tinier :P
Now that blade is superbe. I don't know how practical are those bars in the middle, considering that if it were to fall those would the be the 1st ones that would shatter :P The entire lower part of the composition is vivid and beautifully detailed. They sort of draw the attention away from her figure. Is that bad or good? I can't really tell :shrug:

Either way lovely job :D :iconpinklilyplz:
