Thanks to some helpful critiquing here on DA I have worked back into this piece and made a few changes.

Well folks, here it is! After about a month and a half of procrastination mixed with homework, I have finally finished Sybilla.
She is one of the main characters in the movie Kingdom of Heaven.
This has, by far, been the most challenging piece I have ever done. It has been created, primarily, in graphite, but I have also integrated some airbrushed acrylics.
This drawing is a whole lot darker than I have ever worked before so it has been a bit of an experiment. About half way through I discovered many distorted features and re-worked almost her entire face.I believe it is close now, but I may do some minor touch ups, as I find problems. I was unable to find a good technique for the chainmail, but I did the best I could for now.
Over all I am pleased with the outcome.

Here is the [link] to the comparison of the reference pic and the drawing. If you are curious.

Materials:
- STEADTLER Mars Lumograph (wood): , B,2B,4B,6B,7B,8B,Omnichrom(Noire)
- Strathmore: 18"X12" 100lb (260g/m2) smooth bristol
- Golden's Airbrush Acrylics

Time consumed: 21hrs not including the linework.

Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!!

Of course it is unfair to compare Adolf Hitler and George W. Bush: Hitler was actually elected.

This is crazy, I like the little disc things most of all, I can imagine their "feel" easily...awesome, this is my favorite of yours; great job. And you finished the rest quickly:) I also like the small gleams on the mail and in her eyes.

Thanks D. Yeah the "gleams" are white airbrushing. I put 9hrs in on this today... I'm wiped! I am glad you like it bud. Now I can move onto my next Idea!
