This one is named after a character that a friend of mine plays. The stock photo of the woman is from http://www.sxc.hu (Stock XChange). I'm actually pretty happy with this one, although it's a bit plain. Let me know what you think, but be nice, I'm still new at this ;)
Outstanding work. I would like to see your male paladin.

I must say, your placement and blending of the armor and baldric are as close to perfect as one could hope to get.
This is a fantastic portrait. It reminds me of a couple of women who fight in the SCA I have known for many years, except they come off the field a little dirtier than this. :) _________________________ Me go beer!
Thanks so much for the comments everyone :) As for the dirty face thing, yes, it was kind of the result of too much smudging, but rather than trying to fix it I just left it, since I thought a paladin might get a little dirty fighting evil and stuff...

I don't mind a dirty face. It's realistic. It doesn't make me ask, "Does she always reapply her make-up after fights, or does she just avoid fighting?" ;)

I love this pic as it actually has the sweetness and strength one would expect from a paladin--seems really realistic. great facial expression, very stoic.
keep up the great work,
Erinnern

I like the overall effect of the picture and the armour looks really great, it all seems to fit together nicely. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that her skin looks 'dirty'. Like there's dirt or mud smeared on her face, but I think that's the result of too much smudging (correct me if I'm wrong).

I like it . . . sort of a stoic, yet kind look. And there's no saying every portrait has to be of a busty, scantily-clad woman to make it good. This is definitely nice; I think she's quite pretty. (A "handsome" woman, I think the term goes)
