Description Well, one day i was workin on a rough sketch for a lesbian assassin couple while listenin to my mp3s THEN a song played, a song called 'Break the Cocoon' by Yoriko. Although i love drawing lesbians (especially ones that deal death) but i was suddenly so inspired by the song that i had to drop that sketch and do this instead.

This sketch is roughly the image that appears in my head when i listen to the song. A cocoon breaking/dissolving away as a girl gains strength. (i don't understand Japanese so i'm working by the tune n flow of the song (ears of the heart?))

This time i tried airbrushin with Painter. I also started out using lineart but halfway in between i decided not to (Oh the pain erasin all the linearts n re-smoothening the edges). in the end only the wing has lineart... ermmm, the wing is supposed 2 a lil abstract hence the lineart n the fact that she has only 1 wing.
Plus for the toning of the girl's skin, i tried a more life-like approach.
Yes, her proportions are elongated if you noticed.

PS - don't take my word for it! Go listen to the song! 'Break the Cocoon' by Yoriko! I loved it, u might too! It's also the second ED for the anime 'Speed Grapher' (tho i haven't watched it yet).

Hey, I really like the colours you used here, very bright, and good job on the contour of her body (very sexy ay). Her incomplete feet is rather distracting though.
