      This is a stunning piece. Your technique is impressive. You show an awesome understanding of colors and composition but still this piece has one flaw. The way she holds the bow is optically appealing but it is not authentic. If you hold a bow like this it will be every where when you let go the arrow, but not anymore in your save hand. A bow should be held like a mockingbird You do not want to hurt it, but you do not want it to fly away either. Second thing, the height of the bow and the position of her arms indicate that she has finished the pulling back of the string. As an archer, your hand will always come to rest touching your face at always the same spot(Nose, chin, cheek or lip). That is how you aim with a bow.

      Sorry I do not want to sound like Mr. Know-It-All. It is a masterpiece and I am glad you shared it with us. Thank you Michael.

        She is a goddess! She has a magic bow! She can hold it how she wants and still aim it with ease! This is mythical fantasy and everything is possible! Now stop being such a grown-up and let your mind flow in oceans of NOT SO IMPORTANCE! (I bet dudes like this one don't have a problem with Marvel's crazy stuff!)
