    The shading and highlighting are beautifully done, and I especially love the golden eyes. *_* Great work anyway, just the logo thing is abit blurry.

    Waaaaah~ Ryuuen's back! Beautiful job on the colors-- like Danielly said, the orange and blue look really good together. Also, lovely job on the kimono! I like the designs. :)

    woah awesome! I love how you coloured her hair and shaded her kimono, cool pose as well ^^ and the background is simple but neat, looks like an ink drawing. But what I'm really impressed with is the patterns on her kimono, how you modified and bend it according with the flow of the cloth :) I need to learn how to do that (instead of having flat patterns)... care to give some tips (please) ?

    Really nice striking stance ! Yep yep, the sword came out great, i love the lighting on it, and the handle is perfect. Coloring and shading are awesome, there's just one thing that bothers me, her head might be a bit too big. Great patterns on the kimono ;), i love the 'traditionnal' feel of the whole piece !

    Thumbs up and fav :D
