Archer

Below is the preliminary sketch. I filled in the silhouette over this as a mask, and then let textured brushes do the rest of the work.
The bow is loosely based on a traditional Japanese design. 4.bp.blogspot.com/-lI59P4ddaCw…
It is consistent with the theme of asymmetrical balance that I was going for in the pose.

I wrote a flash fiction story based on this:
Hi! I really love this picture, you're a great artist! I am an archer and a bowyer, so this image is very significant to me. Would you make a version of this image with a bow that I made? I would love to buy the design to get a tattoo ^^
This is absolutely amazing. Great job. I have no words.
Simplistic elegance frames the beauty of power and grace.
Beutiful!
LOVE IT SO BEAUTIFYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice work
loving your whole gallery. Thank you.
Really cool and dynamic. I love how her leg is lifted to kind of form a bow shape of its own. Great work!
Very nice style.
I cannot describe my feels, but whatever you;re doing, keep doing it! 
Brilliant sharp lines combine well here with the crayon look.
Wow your works are exquisite!!!! And your gallery is filled with Fantastic pieces!!
cool!
LOVE this! So elegant and graceful. Aweshum ^u^
Very elegant. Love the style.
Really neat new style. Different from your typical work, but just as stunning.
Have you thought about doing several of these? You have the archer (awesome, by the way), so now I think we'd need a swordsman, a fan-dancer, a pole-arm, all those kinds. They'd look good as a simplistic japanese art collection!
That's an excellent idea! I just find myself with a shortage of time. 
Thanks!
Thanks!
So now that you've had a few years, ever think about returning to this and making it a series after all?
This design is perfection.
Gorgeous work! *tweet* twitter.com/Naesthiel/status/5…
