Description Workflow: DS 4.8, Iray --> PS.

Explanation: Lady Jessica on Arrakis (Dune), dressed in a Fremen stillsuit, after Stilgar has offered her shelter in his Sietch, not long after the dastardly attack of the imperial Sardaukar troops led by Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.
Observation: Obviously, her blue-purple eyes color is due to melange ("the spice") consumption.

I find some resemblances with Angelina Jolie, in its prime days.

Funny thing, one of my friends have told me the same thing !

However, any similarity with the actress is purely coincidental, not intentional (that doesn't mean I don't like Angelina Jolie, on the contrary !... ).

Anyway you made a good work.

Have you ever thought to draw Harah (Jamis widow)?
Is a character not often represented. I liked very much her image in the old dune game:

No, I don't thought of that. With the risk to disappoint you, I must admit that I never played the "Dune" game and the book I've read some time ago and, frankly, I remember only the main characters and only broadly the main plot and action; the secondary characters and plots have been wiped out of my memory, sadly.
However, I remember Harah, the widow of Jamis that Paul killed in combat with the Crysknives and which than he had to take as wife, according to Fremen tradition. But from what I remember, at least in the book, she never played a major role in the plot and running of the main action.

I just talked in the game because of the image. If I recall well, she was more influent latter, maybe in the second book. She married with Stilgar and took care of Alia.

But… well even if you won’t draw her, I hope you can make some more Dune’s characters: Chani, Irulan….

I must confess that I've only read the first book, 'Dune". But, in my defense, I must say that I've also saw the movie (David Lynch's "Dune" from 1984).  

I remember that at that time those books were hard to find in Romania, I just got "Dune" (I borrowed it from a friend) and much later, when the whole Dune series became available in Romania, my preoccupations had taken another direction. So, sadly, I'm not a truly Dune fan/aficionado (but, with a little effort, I could become one ).

Anyway, now, that my appetite for the Dune universe was reopened, I want to start reading "Dune Messiah", the second book in the series and, if my wish and desire to read not leave me along the way, I want to finish the entire series.
And yes, to answer your question, I want to draw other Dune characters, too.

I also didn’t read all the collection. Just the first two. Saw Lynch’s movie and Harrison’s TV series Dune and Children of Dune:

Also played the game that I talked earlier. It’s a game from 1992 but I played it again recently using Doxbox, since it doesn’t work in windows. I also draw paper soldiers for wargames and already made some for the Dune universe.

 

So I will gladly see more Dune characters from you…

Lady Jessica is such a gorgeous woman!! And that outfit she is wearing here, looks so good, the texture is very realistic! Her light-purple eyes give her something special, that i like a lot!!She is still a real Lady, but with a kind of Sci-Fi style, that suits her well
