I had a bit of commission down time and I needed to clear my thoughts of some really awful family drama going on right now, so I tackled another word on the "100 Word Challenge" list. This image represents number 37, "Eyes."
Although it has little to do with eyes at all, I set out sketching the picture with eyes in mind. So it will be "Eyes." There's no convincing me otherwise. XD
I realize she looks like some crazy evil person, and with the spikes and long, scary fingernails and bloodshot eyes (hey, eyes!), I figured I'd call her the Queen of Pain. She looks like she'd bring a whole world of pain if you angered her, so it seemed fitting.
I forgot to put my "100" logo on this one. I'll have to do so next time I'm in Illustrator.
It's a simple one, but I hope you guys can appreciate it, no less. Enjoy!
Adobe Illustrator CS, about 1.5 hours total (including the Photoshop sketch).
Image (c) me, Andrew T. Green. Please don't steal or else the Queen of Pain will bring a whole world of pain on you!...sounds like something a professional wrestler would say...
EDIT: Added the 100 logo and also fixed a boob issue. Yes, a boob issue.
I actually didn't realise you did these in Illustrator until a couple of days after I started watching you. My appretiation for their genious trippled. Keep up the nice work! Very inspiring.
Hehe, thanks! It took a lot of time and effort to learn Illustrator, and I feel I use it to great effect. I also take pride in the fact that I generally use it for things besides realistic portraits of celebrities (not that there aren't some talented realism-focused vector artists here on DA, but you get my point).

Oh man, now this one is sweet. I love the contrast of character and background... the colors... and the way she fades into the hair/cloak... wow! I don't know; I just like it!
Ooh she's so nifty looking!! :3 I happen to enjoy spikes and evilness, so she can totally be both. XD;; I like how even though she's got those spikes and looks kind of evil, you put her in pink. It really makes a neat image that way.
