Rias: Empress of Annihilation

Rias Gremory and all related elements from High School DXD are © of the respective copyright holders ie not me. This drawing is © of me but whatever tbh. 
I love this one! I tried a lot of new things(especially as my last one of Rias was kinda garbage...) and this HEAVILY referenced image came out fabulous! I LOVE that hand and I drew it! Like darn. And her expression is spot on. And whatcha think of the whole black on skin-color shadows? my first time doing them like that and I sorta warmed up to them. Also any other thoughts on her? Would LOVE to hear them!
Also if you are 18+ and need an anime to watch I HIGHLY recommend High School DXD especially with season 3 due out in April 2015!(pumped). You probably will see more from this anime among my uploads too so that's a thing as well. 
Materials used: mechanical 2B, Permanent marker liners(various thicknesses), Prismacolor colored pencils, and do I have to say paper? lol
Anyway thanx for reading/your time and have a wonderful day!(smily face)
