Decided to try out a character sketch to see if I could make anything interesting, turns out getting better at art does not equal becoming more creative. Next time I will try to make it less obvious that I did not want to draw hands at all. She has sword arms, and is really angry, that can't make for a good combo. 

Hope she doesn't run with those. 

Also I did a bit of rendering too which ended up being faster than the sketch. The process goes from sketch, to mask layer, local colors, ambient occlusion, key light rendering, and finished up with a bit of specular and reflective, mostly on the face.
