Something I actually came up with years and years ago, when I made a strange comment to one of my friends. "I'm gonna be so rich I'll own a beeskin coat."
I wasn't all that sensible back then.
Originally she had two daggers made from badger teeth, a la Buck from Ice Age, but they made a nasty shape on the page, then she had glowing magic hands, and that covered up too much of the actual drawing and created lighting problems...so she gets the spear (which was originally a bee sting but I couldn't get it right.)
this is the direction I'm hoping to take with my art. I really like how this turned out. Let me know if you'd like to see more in this style, because it was really fun

Hint, hint.
I'm experimenting with watermarks, trying to get the balance between marking it as my own and allowing people to still enjoy the piece. Tell me what you think!
No art theft please!
Everything about this is just YES
I like her stance and the metallic detail in the spear tip is also pretty cool.
Also good that you're coming up with your own watermark idea, the standard dA watermark is horrible!
Haha, I know, I try to avoid the standard one if I can!
