Ambush in the woods

This drawing has a troubled history. It was supposed to be a prize for Kanuka's "Elemental" contest, which was won by =NadezhdaVasile. But, every time I tried to start working on it, something happened. *RIIIING!* -Hi, I need a custom drawing for a tattoo. Could you please hurry up?- *RIIING!* -Hi, I want a big tattoo on my back, may I come this evening?- *RIIING!* -...- Eventually, I simply forgot about it. Well, now it's done, although awfully late. And I never used so many hues of brown in a single image.

Anyway, the character is her cool elven mercenary Sywyn Nym'el.
