Description Effie from Street Fighter. I left the background pretty obscure to make it look more like a pinup, but I don't want to leave it blank.

EDIT:
As to *ZEBES ' suggestion, I edited her left boot to make her leg look less twisted. I still think it looks a little twisted, but this is as good as I could do without having to redo some of the pencil work, which is traditionally done.

As mentioned, the boots are a little too twisted, and that has to do with the ankles bending in an awkward way. Also, the toe of the left boot (our left; her right) looks as though her big toe starts on the wrong side.

But the rest of the anatomy is spot on. I especially love the way you drew her face. I struggle with more "realistic" female faces, so kudos to you on a job well done.

Oh! Her neck, shoulders and torso all look very natural, which is something many artists struggle with. That's another positive mark for you.

Yeah, I really got to fix that. It was annoying looking up reference, I had to look up variations of "loli", "goth punk loli", "lolita"...etc. The pose I finally ended up using had these really weird boots that pretty much obscured the feet.

Thanks man! Just studying photos really helps!

I think the twisted leg is not that noticeable and the pose is very pin-upey!
And the face looks pretty good...did you use a reference for this or something!

Splendid work my friend

It's a little noticeable when you think about it more. Since the boot straps should be on the front of the boot, that would mean her lower leg is twisted a little much.

Yeah, I used reference.

Thnaks man!

pretty awesome!

I'd say the boot laces of (her) left leg should be more centered to avoid her leg looking twisted below her knee

Just did a quick edit, it probably still looks a little twisted, but this is as good as I could get without having to edit my pencils, which would be rather hard.

Yeah, I know I'm making a little excuse, but it's a better excuse than most.

Looks great, bro! Good choice about leaving the spikes off her dress...I always thought that looked a little odd. I like how you made her look a little older (and healthier, lol) than Capcom. LOVE the boots, although the right foot (her right) looks a little strange.

Phobos-Romulus In reply to Silvre [2011-01-17 00:03:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, same here. Healthier, that's for sure.

Yeah, I did base her pose from a photo, but the person was wearing really odd boots, so I wasn't exactly sure how to position it right.
