This was a personal project of mine over the past few months. It started off as a fast doodle/speed painting that I never really intended to finish properly but I liked how it looked so much that I kept working on it off and on. Now nearly 5 months after starting it, I finally finished it. ^^
I really struggled with parts of this though. She's quite a thin character and with that outfit, I really had issues with her anatomy. I got it to a point where I can look at it without seeing parts that are way off, but it's still not 100% perfect. So please, if you see somethings that look a bit off, don't tell me, I had a hard enough time on it already.

It's such a shame that's in this small format. I was really excited to see it after seeing thumb in group, but I'm very much disappointed, because I'm SURE it would have BANG factor to it. The colors and textures look like they could be amazing, but it's just so tiny all effect's lost And it could've been one of my favorite pictures around dA. Don't take this the wrong way, but it just saddens me when artists take so much impact out of their work. I get when it's done as a commission, but otherwise not really.
Wow, gorgeous!!! The use of the color is incredible It really transforms the movement of the work! Looking at your work reminds me of how much I'd love to be able to commission you again. It's been too long! You are probably overwhelmed with commissions right now though
and I think you did really nicely on the details!
