Killing me softly

Description

I'm usually the one running late and generally testing my client's patience and kindness, but sometimes, I too get the wrong end of the stick...

This is an unclaimed commission I did a while back and seeing as it will be added to my vault, I decided to post it up for your enjoyment.

I wasn't a very big fan of G.I.Joe back in the day, but I remember loving the toys and how articulated they were. The vehicles were great and I had a fascination with Cobra Commander, possibly because he had no face and that haunted me quite a bit. And then, of course, there was her.
The Baroness was absolutely gorgeous and she had that whole 'femme fatale' air about her that made her all the more awesome. Thus, when I received the brief for this piece, I was very excited to render her in my style. And I hope I've done her beauty justice.

One of the main things I wanted to avoid was the usual shot of her holding a gun; instead, I chose to depict her with another weapon, maybe just as powerful, yet more subtle and deadly. Her resumé does include an important ammount of knowledge on venoms and toxins, so the needle in her hand and slow decaying victim at her feet fit her to a tee. I was always of the idea she'd be best suited for infiltration and 'beyond-enemy-lines' operations.

So, let me know what you think and I may be putting this one up for sale with some more originals, so stay tuned.

Have a great week!

Nic.-
