Mortal Kombat's Kitana

This is by far one of my best cosplay portrait to date. I've never drawn a Mortal Kombat character before; I played the games but never thought to try my hand at these characters. So when a fellow comics fan and cosplayer named Alannah Chantel Mason asked me to sketch her as Kitana, at first I was worried I couldn't do her justice. Thankfully I was wrong, and I thoroughly enjoyed the creative process. The costume she's wearing is what the cosplayer put together herself from a swimsuit. Etched in mixed media, this 11 x 14 Bienfang piece tested me to no avail. It's also the first time I've ever rendered white-hot metal and I'm counting my blessings my trial by fire was successful and achieved complete customer satisfaction.
