Original Size: approximately 11" x 17" This is a scene of a hardened warrior woman traveling the wastelands of a distant land. The rough and mysterious Valley of Spears can be seen in the distance. This is a piece I did from a b&w pencil draft that my brother Dan worked on, after hearing my idea. I then revised and modified it, afterwards creating the final version in color. He is a fine artist in his own right, but has never expressed much interest in pursuing an art career. This version has been modified to fit the standards set forth by Art Wanted, but the 'uncensored' version can be seen on my official website.
