Description Another "quickie" marker commission done before I leave for Holiday. I gotta say, I told myself these were quick commissions, but I spend just as much time on them as I would a regular commisison. lol! So much for that, eh?

I THINK there's a few flaws here, but when I start to go to critique myself, I get confused. I wanted to give her a long body type. (like.. long torso girls that have the small, but curvy hips?)
I also wanted to expand on my body styles. So yeah, you can critique if you want.

I hope you like it !
I really enjoyed your character! (I sound like I slept with it...)

Done on Strathmore smooth Bristol Board, .003/.01 Copic SP Multiliner pen, Copic markers.

EDIT: I think her head is too big? Yeah, must be.

Since I just recently got the physical art of this, I have to comment that the scan of this does it *no* justice at all. It's absolutely gorgeous and the colors are so smooth and vibrant. It's really quite amazing to see how much effort was put into it. Immensely pleased.

I'm so happy!!! And no, the scans of my marker works NEVER do it justice. Glad you got it safe and sound. I was thinking of that this morning.

If you don't mind me saying so, since I think I have the body type you were aiming for, you just made the torso a smidge too long. You nailed everything else though. In the future, I would start the curve of the hips just bellow the belly button. That's where mine begin! I think the thighs might be a little short too, but I might be wrong?

Your colouring is gorgeous though, as per usual. Her outfit is totally badass.

I really like the angles on her body and bone structure, contrasted to the curves of the clothes. Her smile is very unique and a nice touch. The neck is a bit long, and I'm not sure how she'd be standing with her legs like that. But you did want her to look tall. I love the shading on the pants the best, and the folds, they look realistic and metallic. Great piece, overall.

Smexy outfit! (especially the jacket)

And about the head, well yeah, it's a little bit big, but it doesn't make it look bad
