The pose of this Witchblade is based from an actual statue done by CS Moore that is based on the actual art of Marc Silvestri. 
I believe the owner of this sketch, requested Micheal Turner to sketch him Sara Pezzini in his own version. 
 
this is the Original Sketch Art

As one can see, the distinctive Micheal Turner's eyes is very prevalent on this sketch. Something that I really tried to preserve when I did my digital painting... here it goes...

I added a bit more details and eliminated some to create a more proportioned look to her. I know I am not that top notch in painting yet but so far. I believe Micheal Turner can say... this is a good start.

@IcePrince_X: very nice work Ice, your coloring is jumping leaps and bounds rather rapidly.  
I see your experimenting more with giving it depth and highlights. Almost gives it that statue look and feel :) 
 
What approach did you use to work on those? filters or layer effects?

As much as I want to do layer effects I can't seem to get it right with my software... I am using canon's arcsoft. This is just filtering.

ah, well looks the same as photoshop would do :) 
did you apply the beveling to individual layers or globally to a single?

@IcePrince_X:
If I remember right that hole in the arm was originally a gem like the 2 on the hand.  Nice work !
 
I love Mike's work and have become good friends with a few of his protoge's (Koi Turnbull and Micah Gunnell) also the man who followed his Witchblade run Randy Green. There stories of the man would entertain anyone. I personally haven't drawn my tribute to him cause I am never happy with the artwork as i progress. One of my new years resolutions is to actually finish a Turner inspired piece.

Thank you very much for your warm receiving of my painted work of Micheal Turner's work. 
 
Micheal Turner is really a lost, taken early on his career when things are looking up with his projects and even with his own comic company. 
I still look forward to a day when his version of the Witchblade becomes truly a statue.

Too true, I always loved his work, its why I picked up Witchblade when it first came out.
