Red Empress - Many hours

I started on the Red Empress speedpaint and I was enamored with an idea for the painting and decided to make it a full blown painty project. At the end I still didn't finish it mostly cause I couldn't deal with how awful the male figure was turning out on the bottom and it didn't seem worth it to finish. I also would like to ask people to ignore the awful looking hands.... I don't know why that pinky looks like a thumb and I dunno how to fix it.
