Lady of the Blade

Well here's the final version after a prolonged hiatus due to my recent deployment.  In the end I'm pretty satisfied with the result although I still feel that the coloring should have come out better.  I finished this while at Naka-kon this past weekend to enter in the art contest along with some others, for the traditional category yet it didn't win, that went to "Bad Girls" which can be found in my gallery.
 
As stated in the sketch the pose is from a Magna Carta pic.
