A Labor Of Love

"The Witchblade Beckons" sketch

This particular picture holds a personal meaning to me.  Most images I draw, colorize, and then forget about.  No deeper attachment or meaning to them than that.  What makes this picture special is that it was a character made famous by the masterful hand of the late Michael Turner.  I decided a long time ago that he was the standard to which I would hold myself and I dared not attempt to draw a character he did so well until I felt I could do it justice (the character in question is Witchblade's Sara Pezzini).  I felt my abilities were strong enough now that I could do this picture well and I did.  Granted, it's not a perfect picture (there never is), but I feel it's a great example of the strength of my talent and I am very proud of it.  Coloring it will probably be a pain in the butt, but I'm very pleased with how it's come out thus far.
