Nia black is a character created by :icondualmask:
I offered to do a fan art of the character just to see what it would be like to try drawing again.
I used a photo ref and added my spin to it.
I love how it turned out.

It took me all day to do.
And by all day I mean about 6 hours give or take.
I am considering doing commissions.
This was a test to see what it would take for me to be able to attempt this.

Nice pose and expression here. I like her hair and eyes.
I'd say you could my the lines more bolder, but that's just me.

Thank you very much.

I like bolder lines myself, but can never figure out how to balance them in Photoshop. I am still learning.
I really appreciate the feedback!
Thanks!

Pretty cool! I like your more realistic take on her and that mean weapon she has there.

For critiques, if you don't mind my saying so, I think you could work on making the lines less sketchy--unless that's what you wanted to do with it of course--but I think more solid outlines would give the drawing a more solid feel. I like the pose and that gun is really cool--makes me want to work on giving Nia bigger weaponry to play with. I've always likened her (design-wise, not story-wise) to a 'black Tomb Raider' with her choice of weapons, but I've been thinking about pushing her in more of a Punisher direction, giving her heavier artillery. Your piece here reminded me of that.

I really appreciate this. I'll be adding it to my favorites as well as posting it among the rest of the Nia art done by friends in my journal shoutboard. :)

Thanks so much!

I had another image I was going to do freom photo ref where the girl is holding a single handgun. I liked it but I liked this one better because of the big gun and the coy look in her eye

Plus we were talking about her as a merecenary so I thought she should try her hand at a military grade weapon. I thought it would show the toughness that is evident in all the other images you have on your page.

I feel you on the sketchy lines. It was semi intentional. I think I meant to go back and clean it up but part of me liked it as I was doing it.
I will definitely take the time to clean it up next time.

Thanks for the compliments man, I was really worried about how you would like it. You never know how someone will feel about an image until they see it.

Really glad you like it!
