Oooh, the composition. The way her arrows point away from the map. The detail on her bow. Beautiful!

[katanath]

Thank you!

Must ask though - is there some deeper symbolic thing about arrows that I missed during research? I only thought it was generally a good idea to keep the business ends of weapons away from one's own body...

I like how the crossed arrows suggest the compass points on the map.

[katanath]

Good, uh, point! Hadn't intended that originally, but now that you mention it, they do rather match...

Such delicate linework! I love it!

'Twas a ***** and a half to clean up, but I'm glad you liked the results :)

Very beautiful!! All of the details are so lovely on her clothing and bow. Yes, what everyone said above, especially the arrows echoing the compass on the map. Very cool.

And the lettering is so perfect in style for this picture. :)

Thanks! It's a gorgeous font, I don't get to use it nearly enough.
