Domina Infernalis

Private commission character concept art.
Creating her was an awesome process, since the client allowed me to collaborate on the concept brainstorming part. We eventually settled on an arrogant demoness wearing heavy armor and warm clothing, adorned with giant metal patinaed horns and wielding a large double-handed sword. All the materials were an absolute pleasure to render. I happily used the chance to sneak in a few ideas I'd wanted to paint for a while, namely the damaskus pattern and the backlit, veined wings. I think it turned out really well considering my current skill level.
Huge thanks to Mathias Osland for the help with the lighting.
