Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Nice job, I like the perspective and your anatomy is good 
"Sight beyond sight" is a nice Thundercats reference too
That is some beautiful pencil work, great shading and a wonderful pose, although in an actual fight the focus would be even more akin to the Thundercats, by howlding the hilt of the sword to your forehead and focusing through that.
I like
Awesome work like always Anwyeth!
I love that... very powerful!
awesome

*shifts eyes* What can I say? I'm a nerdy girl.
I, being, to quote a friend, "dirty ol' Rper" (no double entendres, please) tend to obsess a lot about the details of my characters. When I remade HeatBurn, my previously blaster mage as a scrapper, I started thinking about how to transport the whole mage notion into a scrapper build. I mean, she no longer could throw fireballs at the enemy, right? I didn't really want to go for the "she has a magic sword\artefact\whatever"
One of the things that had me wondering was Focused Accuracy, which while sounds cool for characters who have martial arts backgrounds, it didn't match much the idea of a mage... and this whole "sight beyond sight" thing (which comes from the old Thundercats show) popped to mind -- as well as using this Runes\Ritual Markings thing to explain the sudden earned accuracy\perception bonus that comes with using this power.
Drawn in a few hours, using mainly 2B and 4B pencil.I should get off my lazy behind and go on to colour it, although I like the leather effect in pencil and the thought of inking it makes me squirmish, since my inking skills are less than ideal. And colouring straight on heavy pencils is always a complication.
The position of the left arm was a pain to draw, and for that I had to enroll the less than willing cooperation of my brother to pose, who remarked that I should call this drawing "Doh, I forgot my shirt!".
Obviously, I told him to go to hell.
Look at da pruddy picture!
