Oooh that's bright (turns down the luminosity on the new 19" screen... it's already to the lowest... and it's still bright ^_^')
Eheh seems like she's sheated her flame sword, and she looks more like a 'peace goddess' than a fighting
angel this time. And she's got that smile on her face, like she's watching over the world (like a big
onee-chan lol) ;).
Anyway, i think this one doesn't look so mecha-nized, especially because you put that cool outfit on her (a bit
like native american stuff, especially those things that hang from her arm, and look like feathers). I like the drawing,
though it is a bit too crowded with all the mecha wings and stuff, so it's hard to make everything out !
One thing is, the girl looks really thin in all that artificial stuff, her arms and neck are really thin. Well as you
said, shading is really lacking, but i'm sure if you'd color it, it'd be pretty awesome !
Well, that's a pretty good work, though i've always prefered pencil lineart rather than CG stuff (especially if it's not shaded / colored), because i find more life / warmth in pencil (weird as it may seem ^_^').
Thumbs up, and i'll go ahead and put it in the display :)
PS thanks for the dedication (btw, "bubby" ? i've been called bubbly before, but bubby... lol)
