Odin's Daughter

So, my last ArtOrder challenge (the gnome) got me 2nd place! Check it out:

Here's another challenge for ArtOrder. This one is called "Discover a Muse". The task was to create an image based on the model, Veronika Kotlajic. My piece is called "Odin's Daughter". Wish me luck!



I had an immense amount of trouble getting the colors in the jpeg right. This was the closest I could get to the quality of the photoshop file.

looks great dear, I just wanna see more sharper edges, maybe around her face and the crow's face. Everything has fuzzy edges so it feels like everything is out of focus ;)

Great job, dude! I love the subtle greenish hue of the background, hand-talons, the texture is awesome! And I disagree with Yasemin, I think there are hard edges where they need to be to show a difference in texture.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the setting. The title gives the piece such a strong launchpad for narrative; Odin hanging himself in a narcissistic self sacrifice from the world tree, thor's battles with the giants, huge battalion-eating dogs, Norse mythology is full of badass imagery! Other than that, this piece is great!
