Description Oh boy. Well, this took a long time. 
I always wanted to give my twins a new reference, as their old ones really only have their "duty outfit" and I actually have drawn them more in casual clothing than anything. But even though I always wanted to, it was never a priority in my mind. Mainly because drawing my OCs stopped being very fun for me, and also because I'm terrible at shoes and she has these very specific ones! Oh jeez. But hey, in these like 5ish years I've improved on my shoes, and I could finally draw her shoes! This may seem a super small thing for you, but I'm really proud.
My other references for my twins are of them together in the same picture, but for practical purposes I decided to give them their own one this time around, and keeping the same format as my Luvulitha reference .

So, I guess I should talk about her. I'll just keep it brief.
Nikatsu as pictured here is 15 years old. After a not-too-good childhood and a lot of training, she has become one of the strongest Nakamihi despite everyone cheering on her twin brother rather than her. She's independent and really sure of herself, she's mostly always smirking and looking smug. Made her name when I was a child to mean "Two victories".
The bottom right picture is how she looks with her hair down. She pushes those tufts of hair out of her face with her hairband, creating her singular hairstyle. 
The upper right picture is well, to show what she does if she encounters a fight while using these rather impractical clothes and shoes. She's not shy to just get rid of everything in her way down to her sports bra to take someone on. Her whole body is pretty fit but it doesn't show much except for her abs. She doesn't need to be too muscular, though, as the ability of a Nakamihi is much more about hitting a lot and fast. When a Nakamihi awakes their power, their eyes become yellow. and yellow sparks may come out of their hands.
If the twins are drawn together, they should be the same height, with Nikatsu slightly taller due to her high-heels.

It feels good to finally make my first oc justice. She finally looks somewhat good! Haha, after years of having been butchered by my less pretty drawings of older times.
Hope you like it

I like your tidy line work and also how you've used different tones on each line - it's not something I can say I've really seen before and I like that different approach. Your colour choices go nicely together and the shading style suits the overall character image very well. I also like how you've practiced with several different expressions and poses

NicoleDaney In reply to GenoMorph [2019-08-11 02:28:12 +0000 UTC]

The coloured lineart is something I do take pride on. I actually haven't seen it quite the way I do it, like, ever. I've seen people do it but like, making the overall lineart say, blue instead of black and they're done. I, on the other hand, give each colour their own different coloured lineart to go with it. Sometimes it's tricky to keep doing it, because it's the last step I do when I'm drawing and the black lineart looks probably just as nice with my style of shading. I have to remind myself that it's my style and I love it to keep myself from going the lazy route out haha, and it also makes my art that small amount more unique than other's.
This is probably the first time I've gotten so many compliments in the same comment! Thanks a lot

Oh my, I'm so glad you like her hair! When I was a child it took me many different attempts with my own hair to figure out how it worked! I really wanted her to have somewhat easy hair to draw but also for it to be unique. So far I haven't seen another character with this hairstyle, so I can say I somewhat succeeded.
