Femme de feu VII - step III... Down to the wire!

After having achieved fairly decent realism with much economy of means, I went ahead with some deconstruction using drips, marks and, in this instance, fencing patterns to reflect the fighter's cage...

Scary stuff! As a second step, I went with blueish lighting and kept working at integrating the fence with the fighter's face...

 Another pass should do it...

Note to self: " I haven't exploited this kind of lighting a lot having opted for diffused lighting with my recent paintings. It's time to open that door!"
