Thank you. Sometimes I wonder if every other creator out there has this common misconception that their female characters can run around is teeny bikinis and somehow be protected by some thong aura of protection.... and you just know that's going to show up in an upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh card. Bllllaaarrrr....

Okay, seriously now, critique wise, I must say this is one of my more female studies (?) that I've seen in a while. For one, she seems a great deal away from the cookie-cutter mold of other characters out there, but still has enough familiarity to not aleinate someone (there is obviously the Masamune inspiration, and she also reminds me of Casca from Berserk, which is also nice.). The style of the suit, alluring yet practical, is well done, and the coloring is very nice as well- it gives something of a cel-shaded sense, almost like a vector illustration.

Some thing you may want to work on- the hands feel a bit too slender. I can't get a feel for any discernable wrist or mass to them. Also, the rear of the head feels a bit slender, like there is no brain case to her skull. If you extend her hair a little farther, you can correct that without much hassle. Also, just on a potpourri level, maybe add a little more sheen to her jecket, just to give it some more dimension.

Still, this is a fine piece. Keep up the awesome work.
