 First of all, many thanks to the model, my friend Sonia. She was very patient and nice.
I had this idea for the Tribute challenge, but in that ocasion we didn't had the time for doing it. So I recovered the idea for this challenge.
I like the results, and hope other people do...

Reminds me of the cover of Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Very skillful execution.

Arms look funny. I would have cropped the bottom off more.
