Description Concept art for my in-progress comic, Inner Power.

EDIT: Made the picture brighter.... I think it looks a bit better this way.

I like how this came out, actually. The only thing is that her colors may show up differently, depending on the computer screen. Shifu actually has ORANGE hair, not bright red. And her eyes are also orange, again, not red. That, and that I made her look older than she really looks. She's suppose to appear 12 years old, but... yeah...

The tail came out much differently than I originally intended... but... I think I like the outcome of the random design. :3 The more I look at it, the more likely this is going to be the final concept for her.

-- Profile summary--
Name: Mikoto Shifu (pronounced She-Foo. She prefers "Shifu" over her first name)
Age: Unknown (more than thousands of years old)
Age appearance: 12
Race: Theonix (Pheonix+Tiger)
Gift: Fire/Heat energy manipulation
Brief Intro: Shifu is the Cat goddess of the desert city Valcrest Hills. Youngest of the Gods, yet one of the strongest, Shifu is well known for her unique fighting style, due to her being blind. Using her ears, sense of smell, and her ability Fire's Eye to 'see' her opponent's body heat during battle, she is a huge force to be reckoned with, within a small body of course. Happy, layed back and hyper, personality wise.

Media: Watercolor and Colored Pencils on Bristol Vellum
Time Taken: 2 hours and 30 minutes
Inspiration: Concepts for Inner Power; feline

Shifu and Art (C) Me! :3

This looks very nice, great anatomy and posing I especially like the hand that comes out towards you and the detail in the fire. Nice one, a really interesting character!

Wow, The eyes, ears, and claws/hands are fantastic technique. However the feet look a little awkward to me but otherwise done in quite a fine style!
