Description I *beep*ing loved how the pose turned out here as I normally don't get the chance to do anything this dynamic.
Kept the background nice and simple so she stood out better. Played around with some made up textures for her clothes, it was loads of fun trying to decide what might suit her best.

I went for the pinstripe jacket look because I'm silly like that.

[Just for the lulz I wanted to title this as "OMNISLASH" but then it'd be too silly.]

I've had a couple comments how she resembled Saya from Blood+, which didn't actually hit me till they mentioned it. I guess all it'll take to sell this as Saya would be a pair of bright red eyes.

Random note: I wanted to find a Saya cosplayer and have her pose with this print in her hands. It'd be hilarious!

Raghraghragh DX I'm sure everyone has said this but, super awesome! The pose is so cool, and it suits her too so it works out so well. I love the mix of pattern textures on her clothes, and her face is great.

I'm such a Naoto fangirl <3.

Love the pic. Great pose good dynamic movement and very well used textures!

The back foot kinda tickles me a little in the wrong way...but thats just me being super SUPER picky.

The silhouette is what drastically enhances the pose. You've used a nice mix of negative space and angles to show off every extremity in a realistic manner. Well done.

I was kinda surprised not many people knew of the DOGS manga at Otakon. You'd figure because the internet culture is so huge the word of mouth would've gotten around by now. But anyway thank goodness for onemanga.com for previewing stuff, I've been pimping DOGS every day since I got there.

Lovely! I like the pinstripe. It's slick. And I like the orange things in the lining of it.

The blue transparent slashes are a nice touch.
