For me, It was closer to the situation than a model's body
I like it's simplicity, it's not too busy.
I love the way you drew Honor, obviously after that scene where that less-than-a-human State Sec guard tried to rape her. She looks like she just kicked someobody across her cell, the blood really accents that point.
The chains are a nice detail too, makes it obvious to a reader (espeically one who has just finished the First IEH book) that Honor isn't going to go down quietly, and for new readers to the book, it'll be an indication that the main charater isn't going to get killed off yet, even if she is on a StateSec ship headed for Hell.
The ship bulkhead behind Honor really help balance out the cover with its repeating patterns, And I like the rounded-edged triangles, if that's what you call them, gives it a more science-fiction vibe for those that are not Honorverse fans.
The question to ask this time...
What are the hands on the bulkhead for? The ones near the 'PNS Tepes' text. Because I honestly have no idea what they could be for.
Also.. the picture you have been waiting for... drum roll please.
*Rolls a drum*

Thats a picture of the print. I put what it was framed and matted with in the description. I intend to hang it in my computer room, so the wall it will be hangin on is the same color as the one in the picture. I love it the picture so much!
Thank you for sending it. ♥
well, I don't know why, when I was drawing this one, I have thought about a scene in "the fifth element", a luc Besson's movie. In this scene, there is a police control in a building and, in each room, there these "handprints" on the walls.
Everybody has to put his hands on the wall, in the "handprints". It's a little like police, when they arrest people, you have to pu your hands in evidence on a wall, the ground or a car... I hope that I'm clear enough...
And I thought that it was a good idea for a jail like the Tepes
J'aime assez l'attitude qui transparaît, même de dos: dans l'adversité, enchaînée, ayant peu d'espoir, mais ce n'est pas une femme brisée qu'on voit là. Plutôt un boxeur qui a pris des coups mais qui fait le gros dos en attendant le bon moment pour balançer un coup de poing formidable.
Aussi, ce costume orange de prisonnière me fait penser à Guantanamo. Mais j'extrapole peut être trop loin...
Mais je ne voulais pas la dessiner dans une pièce carrée et fermée. Cela aurait enfermé le personnage dans une posture de victime...
Or, je voulais représenter l'isolement, la solitude, l'humiliation mais également une personne encore debout et loin d'être brisée. Pour cela j'ai opté pour une simple paroi aseptisée mais pas une pièce fermée. Ses propres chaînes sont brisées et enroulées autour de ses poings et sa posture, comme vous l'avez remarqué, indique que le combat n'est pas terminé.
Les quelques gouttes de sang au sol sont là pour témoigner de la violence de l'histoire mais aussi en "hommage" au pauvre type qui veut abuser d'elle avant de se rendre compte que c'est une mauvaise idée
