Well as promised I made Willow do a dark scene and so here she is. But she never complained and held herself well in this cold wintery image, she kept that resolute pose through oh I don't know how many renders. With some deft postwork I managed to bring out some warm skin tones which I think contrast well with the snowy landscape. I love the skin textures on Willow, they hold up so well even in close up work and her makeup is also so clear.
I agonized over which version of this image to release. I had it all done like this and then I decided to see what would happen if I could work in some sleet affects. It was really dramatic but it did take away from the beauty of Willow herself and so I stuck with my original. If there is interest in seeing the other version I would post it too.
I had a lot of fun with the Armour on this. The original is the old Vandra armour from DAZ but I worked it up with new textures from Parrot_Dolphin and WhooperNnoonWalker.
Oh, and the neat winter background is from Schonee's free winter backgrounds. I rarely use someone elses backgrouds but hers were just perfect for this project. The Crow however is from DAZ and the moon was painted in by me.
Anyways I hope you all like this version of Willow. I've not seen her put into a dark fantasy warrior image yet and it shows the great versatility of this wonderful A4 character.

Seems like everything have already been said. An awesome, terrificlicious, fantasticlistic work, Roxy!
Wonderful artwork!
Another fabulous render from you Roxy excellent work in every way.....love it.
This is gorgeous. I love the pose and expression, and, as usual, the attention to detail. The fingernails are great, and I love the skin texture. And yes, the contrast with winter BG is fantastic. This feels very Nose to me -- I've read a lot of Norse myth (some in the original Old Norse or Old Icelandic). I love the feel of this render. Simply wonderful!
Incredible POV beautiful skin tones and an excellent render!!!
Excellent Roxy! I like the lighting. Her skin tones did come out well, especially her hands. Wonderful background for this. I like the crow, it adds drama. Nice meditative pose.
Great look of concentration. Nicely done.
Great work - excellent hand pose and expression
Stunning render!!
This turned out very nicely! The image is just beautiful. I like her pose and her face! Her skin looks amazing as well. Really nice work!
Very beautiful and touching piece.
Wow - this is a great portrait. I can't recall seeing a portrait by you before. This one is really great - fabulous posing and lighting. Love her nails and that great armor. Fabulous materials choice. Really nice composition too.
Lovely work on the textures - I think you made the right choice with the skin tones and to leave out the sleet (though I am curious as to how that would look!) Love the crow and the moon - excellent render!
Very deep piece
Outstanding! I may be wrong, but I sense with your shift of the type on models and characters, you have also adapted your postwork - particularly the saturation, sontrast and softness? In any case it is very very good. i like it a lot Great work
Wonderful render my friend ! Great pose and textures. Love also the nails... Wonderful work !! Hugs
Magnifique éclairage et belle composition qui raconte une histoire.
A much more mysterious Willow version here...very awesome :) I really like the angle and feeling expressed by her face and hands. I always like to see your PS craftwork so I'm another vote for seeing the sleet version too :)
Like the cool atmosphere and contemplative mood here.
Most excellent! Love it!
Wonderful posing. You captured some intense concentration - well done!
very intense portrait! marvelous artwork
Ah! The art work level of this image is incredible for me! Bravo!!!!!!
gorgeous lighting :)
Excellent work and to be honest it is so captivating without the bird. Two thumbs up for this piece
One thing folks will notice amongst my fave artists is that each one has a distinctive style that captured my attention--this is true of you work as well-- I love the comp on this--lighting and textures--and your "framing" which is as much a hall mark as Adrie's glowing butterflies and fairies...love it.
Incredible 'Willow' render!!!...and you know I luv dark!!! creative style and presentation makes this my fav!!!!
great image,beautiful combination of symbolism and mood.
I like the focus in her face and in her eyes - well done, terrific render!
Well this is an instant favorite! Dark, intense, mystical, this image has it all. The intensity in her eyes is gripping, as is your post-work. Until I read your notes, I thought you had used props for the trees and a background photo of the moon. And that crow is the finishing touch - it really completes the scene and takes onto another plane of meaning. I've meditated in the snow on a desolate winter night, and so I have complete sympathy for poor Willow shivering through the posing for this, lol! Oh, and with this image I finally clued into the pentagram design on Willow's fingernails! As I have said before, your images are always so full of symbols...
