Detail showing the tattoos on the arms of the character and the light affecting the pattern.

This thumbnail shows the light and reflections on the metal tip. The reflection on and in the jewel in the centre is something I have sort to reproduce on many images in Adobe Photoshop and is particularly effective in recreating 3D effects in 2D.

Final detail from the image shows the closed hand from the character. I am particularly pleased with the shadow work on the nails and on the palm underneath.

All in all I was pleased how this character turned out and how close it was to what was in mind for the design.
