Here's the second Neverwinter Nights 2 character picture. This one will probably be the last unless I get attached to another of my characters and feel the need for portraiture.
This is a picture of my heavenly good assimar, Aura, from Neverwinter Nights 2. Technically, these characters do not have wings, but I use mods to add wings to mine and they are as much a part of the character as any other feature.
Technical This picture was made using a Poser figure to create first a sketch style render. After that I took it into Photoshop to do the rest of the work. Photoshop brushes are from [link] and [link]. Please fullview for better detail.
I've documented my work in progress in this scrap if you're interested in checking it out.
EDIT As suggested, this needed a couple of things.. i.e. changing the layering of the sword a bit to look less like the character is trying to self-amputate the left wing. I also changed the hairstyle, cleaned up the outer edges a bit more and didn't soften the whole image up so much this time. I think it looks better.
Woot! It looks awesome, but I have some critique.
While I love the hair, the braid is hiding that twist in the sword I saw in the WIPs, so here it looks like just looks weird. Also, I'm thinking the sword should go over the left wing and not under it, because it looks like she's trying to cut her own wings off... O_o
But aside from that, I really love this. I adore the wispy strands of hair in her braid and I really like the way you painted the armour and the wings. Way to go!

Thanks for the comments. I thought about that too with the sword... a character without wings would have no problem resting the sword on the shoulder, but with wings it's probably kind of like tucking the blade into your armpits. I'm not real happy with the hair, to be honest. I still have the .psd files, so I might go back and make it shorter.
I still suck pretty bad at drawing people. Life drawing was one class my visual communications major didn't teach back in college (that was more advertising related) so I'm trying to learn it now.
