D3 sketch part 2

Description

Will move to scraps later, but figured I'd let people who don't watch my scraps see it too.

And here we have a slightly more detailed rendition of the rough sketch.  I am THINKING that what I'd like to do is paint this lineless, but...  I'm also really freakin' scared to.

Maybe I'll just line it... lining takes time but it's not that difficult and I probably will stress myself out less...  

Anyway, here's the refined-ish sketch.   I'll post a progress at the end of the day whenever I finish.



I'm in love with this rendition of the WD, btw.  I took a lot of inspiration from the concept art, and I really hope that I worked her face enough that she doesn't look like a Caucasian...  I seriously don't have enough practice drawing women of various ethnic backgrounds.  Which is a shame.  Love me some luscious dark-skinned ladies.

Anyway, if you have comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate.  I'd rather have errors or problems pointed out to me before I get too deep in painting or inking.

As for what she's doing, she has a sliced open snake in front of her.  I don't know if this is any kind of correct voodoo (in or out of the game), but the idea is that she's communing with spirits.  Basically her eyes are going to end up glowing and a few tendrils of light are supposed to be drifting up from the snake carcass. There's also probably going to be knuckle bones in a chalk circle/symbol in front of the snake.

I'll probably do a quick color comp before I decide whether to ink it or not.  This is seriously causing me havoc.

Some important issues that I'd like feedback on:
-composition
-movement
-feel
-impact
- if she looks enough like a Diablo III WD (because getting official art and pics of her model (or a good model not covered with hide armor) is really hard.  And there's the whole, "I have no idea if this looks enough like an actual place in the game that it could be considered 'right' for the contest".  So if this location looks nothing like what you'd run into in game, then it would be a good thing for me to know and probably change... much as I would hate to.)
-anything else that might be important that I might've missed


I do not profess to know anything about voodoo or witch doctors, this is an artistic rendering inspired by the game Diablo III.  Any resemblance or offense to people/cultures/etc is coincidental and accidental.
