"Cynthia" - Punk Scythe Wielder

My love of scythes and punk aesthetics brought me to this challenge of designing a character that meshes both of these together. Starting with a simple doodle and deciding to practice painting using values, I used this exercise to polish my skills and create a piece with a dynamic composition. This character, Cynthia, is meant for a story I've written where she takes the role of an experienced scythe user teaching the main character how to utilize their abilities.
