The title might sound just scary, but what I meant is that this is a portrait of my best friend (many many many years back), who is not only very supportive and admirable person but also a wonderful mother of two handsome boys. She is a real fighter, even without a sword!

I love this piece. The title suits it well, you can tell by the determination in the eyes that this is indeed a Fighter.

The looseness of the strokes around the face contrast the more precise, detailed lines of the centre well. The white highlights on the lashes bring details out nicely that would have otherwise been lost in the shadows.

The bold colours also help the mood of this piece, and I love the way they are mingled with the soft skin tones.

I also love the white lines drawn on the image, which are well-placed, and add not only to the style of the work, but to its originality.

Overall, a beautifully executed piece.

What I find really interesting in this piece is that you didn't really define the hair and used color and abstract techniques to create the hair around her. Or am I mistaken and those colors aren't hair? Mmmm, anyways, I still find this concept interesting even if I didn't guess this right.
I really like the theme of dark colors that surround her face and the dark colors that are used for her face. The eyes that are not smiling and colors tell me that maybe there's something dark going on. It dosen't look really happy for her. The overall piece feels like there's a dark storm that is raging maybe inside of her and coming from her? Maybe there's something going on pyschologically or she's experiencing something dark and deep inside, I don't know.
This piece is simply beautiful, the colors and dark theme really make it feel like there's something stormy going on. The dark abstactness around her feels like storm clouds and the swirl on top feels like lightning.
Mmmmmm, this dosen't really feel like a critique, It just feels like my interpretation of it. Sorry if you didn't find this helpful, it's abstact so I don't really know how to improve this one.

I love the subtlety in her expression that fits exactly to the title. It's just amazing how you got that expression so subtle and clear at the same time.
