Hi Jim,

I did more thumbnails than you would believe. But as I always do, I second guess myself later on during the project. I will keep the background simple. I think that will work best. As for her right hand, I simply haven't added it yet. I will probably do so today, as I add folds to the skirt.

Hi Mari,

I have been waiting for someone to mention the way the sword is being held. I was going to ask if anyone noticed it.

The sword is being gripped in such a way as to place it "back"....not "withdraw" it. My intent is to show restraint in use of force. But to have the force there if needed.
