I don't know if you guys remember my OC, Takiko (here and here :aww:)... Anyways, I've done myself a favor (;p) of fleshing her out a little more. One of these days, I'll write a story on her...

I'll be coloring this lineart digitally, but if any of you guys are interested in doing so, just send me a note, so I can send you an HQ scan. =D

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
ohh, I like it (and for some reason I want to color it - lol)

This is beautiful! The movement of the cloth and the flow of her pose is really quite stunning. I'll colour it (when I emerge from the sea that is my homework).

From my vantage point, she doesn't really have much of a jaw. It seems like she's fine until her nose, in which it all kinda runs together into some sort of oversized chin. I'm not sure if you made the boobs and but bigger than normal, but if that's the case, then I suggest lengthening and strengthening her calves just a little bit so she doesn't look too out of proportion.

But I really, really, really, really like her pose. Did you have a reference for it? Also liked how you had the previous pictures of her. It's almost like seeing her grow up ;)

<33 hugs, starlight

Any characters she's based off of?

We don't get into "I'm better than you" fights...we just get into "I suck more than you" fights. :paranoid:

Friend: Guess what!

Compared to the other drawings, she's definitely a bit more fleshed as you said :D. Well it suits her beautifully, she looks like a beautiful grown up and elegant woman x3. I'm looking forward to seeing this colored and finished missy :aww:.

Being human in fact, is to live through our ideas and ideals and never measure the value of a life with the quantity of satisfied desires, but with these little moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, and even sacrifices.
Thanks for all that valuable input and the for the :+fav:, dear!

Actually, I am having some trouble with that particular angle -- head turned up a bit, cocked a bit to the side at the same time (just like with the recent Shikamaru work). I tried outlining the jaw a but more (kinda like, you see the below of the chin a bit) but her face either looked way too strong for my taste, or too flat. Gotta practice... :XD:

Yes, she is relatively busty -- kinda like my answer to them video game characters some guys obsess over *rolleyes*. But I don't intend to keep her that way though. More often than not, huge chests make everything else look out of proportion. And now that you mention it, she does have skinny calves... ^^;

I didn't have any direct reference for the pose, save for some images lingering in my head. :aww:

And I would like it very much if you do find the time to color it -- in fact, I'd be most honored! Just gimme a holler when you're ready! :excited: No rush here! ;)

"The heart has its reasons, in which Reason knows nothing." -- Blaise Pascal
I was primarily inspired by Senkaiden Houshin Engi (aka Soul Hunter/Project Soul Hunt), specially for the first drawing. This one and the one before this have a hint of the game from Tecmo, Dead or Alive.

Thank you, dear. :hug: And please, if you really want to color her in -- to which I would be very glad for, just send me a note so I can upload the HQ scan somewhere up for you. ;)

:nod: Interesting. Is Soul Hunter any good? I've kind of been debating whether to read it or not.
