Description

Digital painting of Emilia Clarke as Daenerys in HBO's Game of Thrones. 
This was a very enjoyable challenge as I find drawing females more difficult than anything else. 
As always thoughts, comments are very very welcome :)

From “far away” before magnifying the image she looks terrific. No one could guess that it was a colored pencil sketch. Upon magnification, it is clear that the person is artificial, as we are struck by the surrealism of the unfinished hair and dress. The dragon scales on her dress and hair remain cartoonish. It appears that the remainder of the work was focused on her face to make it look as realistic as possible with some attention to her dragon fang necklace.

Definitely the painting could use a bit of work, but it is a good attempt overall. You have captured the mood of a strong-willed young woman on her way towards ruling Westeros. Well done.
