Hey guys - Thanks for mentioning the many formats. It's one of those things that is both easy and a pain in the butt. Now I now it's a pain with a happy outcome. :-)

Thakn you for all the different formats! I find it hard to get good wallpaper for my widescreen monitor, so I appreciate the effort!

BlueTyson - It is Red Sonja -- for a private commission, I think. Not a published piece.

Thanks! Know who I'd ask if I wanted a Leigh Brackett character done now, certainly.

You had have mentioned Sonja in the promo would have boosted your traffic to this one I think. :)

Damn straight, Dontato - it takes FOREARMS to wield one of those things! Nice to see a female warrior who looks like she can do some real damage. :0)

This is the most beautiful wallpaper I've had in ages. She's also exactly as I imagine my fantasy alter-ego.
