This piece is titled ‘Empress of Annihilation’. I have tried to communicate this character to be chilling, yet beautiful.

In this universe she is the judge of the afterlife. Those who enter the afterlife must confront this creature to be granted reincarnation, eternal rest, or endless suffering.

I used Maya, Mudbox, Photoshop, and After Effects to create this image.

I would like critique on any areas of this piece that could be improved. General tips on improving my art style for my future projects would also be appreciated.

Please view the hi-res image for a larger view of my artwork. Comments are most welcome. Thank you.
