Silas Zee: You Should See The Horde

You Should See
The Horde

2012.10.24

I've been wanting to draw She-Ra again for a while, and thought this time I'd go against the norm. Instead of drawing her all stoic and badass I went with completely jacked-up and badass. Adora has always been the brains of the twins, but I always saw her as the lady who could throw down with the best of them if it came down to it.

I worked on this piece off and on for the last few weeks. It's a pretty detailed and involved kind of piece for me so I wanted to make sure I got it right. Hell, cleaning up the inks took about a day and a half. XD I went with a softer shading style for most of this so I could throw as much dirt, blood and grime on her as I wanted to. The tattered cape and dress were as much fun as the messy hair, and just as much of a pain to color but it all paid off in the end methinks.

A special shout-out to Cathy here. The title was her idea. :D
