If you let me use a picture of you as Stung Hornet on the wiki, then I'll return the favor by advertising your work on this site in the external links section of mine. It's up to you.
I love the contrast of tones in this picture. And the way the dark trees echo the black robe, and the hard yet impassive look of the model. Constructive criticism: whilst the posture makes for a nice composition, what's the samurai doing here? Not protecting herself from an oncoming cut or about to make a cut, because the sword's incorrectly placed for either. Yes, I study Japanese swordsmanship but I'm not being pedantic for the sake of it: the better the pose the better the picture will be, surely? A photo of someone running looks better than a photo of someone standing with their legs apart and bent pretending they're running. There's a line where realism and artistry intersect and finding that point makes the best pictures.
If you'd like to cosplay as Stung Hornet from the new series I'm doing concept art for, feel free. It should be pretty easy.
