This is so one of my favourites (in case you want to know). Up there with Karijiana and Vavale's portraits.
I love what you have done with her eyes, especially noticeable in the good-lighting-with-flash. Plus the light from the lantern is done so well. I love that the lantern is a skull, too, it tickles the macabre nerve.
What is the story behind Vasilissa the Brave?
