We've seen the sunrise with new eyes

A couple of nights ago I rewatched "300" and the amazingness of the special effects (and of Lena Headey) gave me inspiration for a new painting. I went to the art shop, bought a big canvas and am now working on it. I chose this promo pic of Lena as Queen Gorgo 'cause the pose is so beautiful and she looks strong and dangerous (not to mention incredibly good looking), but I think I kind of overestimated myself 'cause it's really giving me a hard time.
Initially I've planned to paint two portraits in the same canvas - that one of Queen Gorgo and one of Sarah Connor - but I've soon realized that one was already complicated enough, right.
I've spent like 3 hours just trying to paint an eyebrow right and at some point I just wanted to throw the canvas out of the window. I'm still in time to do that. Maybe I should've stick to something more... familiar. Like, let's say, Sarah Clarke. :P

And that's all I have to say for today.
Damn painting. And damn you Lena Headey for being so ridicolously pretty.
