She is a young queen destined to take the throne amidst a time of turbulent war. This piece was inspired by one of my much older (and more embarrassing, looking back) pieces, titled "The Queen".

I hoped with this image to bring justice to the character, which I failed at before, also it was sort of a test to see how much I'd improved...

Any critique is most welcome, as always. ^^ Painted with PS CS4 and Wacom bamboo fun tablet.

Thanks!
