This one is dedicated to all the Canadians in the crowd. Don't worry guys, spring is just around the corner :) The background is a little stark but if you've ever been to Alberta in the winter time, you'll know the effect I was after. UPDATE: Adjusted shading on face and reduced 'steel wool' look of cloak as per feedback.
This picture is very pleasing to look at, I also like the winter theme.
What I don't like: her pose, she's sitting a bit weird.
Also, the chainmail. I like the colour and the texture looks very nice, but I would make it a bit more transparent over another layer of perhaps another similar colour. Also, a little more shadow wouldn't hurt the chainmail. I definitely like the character, and she has a very good face. :D

A very refreshing portrait! In a style uncommon admidst the tons of general portraits.

Thanks for the vote Luggage. I think the lighting seems a little off on her face because I put some "misty breath" over the right side of her face (her left). Maybe I over did it a bit but I was trying to capture a true Rocky Mountain feel :)
And yes Kerlysa... her cloak is made out of steel wool. She killed an iron sheep golem about an hour before this picture was taken (big eye roll).

I really like the armor (especially the color of the mail) and the setting. The lighting on the face seems a bit off to me though.

Is that....*squints* steel wool around her neck and head?
That's funny, it snowed here in Georgia last week. Well... by snow I mean there were about seven flakes and they all melted by the time they hit the ground :)
Weather here in Vancouver is quite pleasant right now ;)
Nicely done, as are your other portraits!Timmy C.
