I tried a LOT of new things with this pic... the perspective and lighting, just to name a few. The painting in the background is of the previous Birdwoman picture.
There's a bit of unintended symbolism here (left eye missing and sword = phallic?), but I really just wanted to draw a really cool old-style military woman. And not one of those young sexy ones either. This one had to be older. And with ugly scars. Red capes are also pretty cool.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
