Oh, cool! This is a very different sort of style than I've ever really seen, and I like very much to see Kailas in it! It looks rather like a stylized gritty comic painting, if that makes a damn lick of sense. *non-artist trying to speak in artistic phrasing*

I do very much like it, yes indeed. It's a fairly dynamic pose despite her being very still. Something like there's a good wind coming in off the sea as she's training at home. Her gaze is very intense. Very cool shading choice in having one eye and that eye hidden by longer hair. Almost ominous, when put all together. Very nifty, indeed.

I'm interested as to why you drew her without any scar detailing. Granted, I've not written in details on any scars she may have on her arms (save one), but I find that such an interesting choice. Not bad--not bad at all. Just very fascinating.

I guess I put people who are kind enough to do fan art of my work in a bind...it's very hard to make a lean, athletic, and well-built woman actually come out with defining feminine features, isn't it? It's recognizably Kailas, don't worry. I'm just noting it's a bit hard to tell immediately she's a woman. (I nearly face-palmed because when I looked again, I realized her shoulders are exactly like mine--and I've gotten called sir a couple of times, to my chagrin. )

My fault for not going the video game route and giving her abnormally large breasts, inn't it?

The only critique I even have about it is that her hands are a little off. Her (physical) left hand is quite good, but the right's palm seems a little small in comparison given where the lines of her fingers start. That's all.

Thank you so much for posting this and sending me links to them! I really like it!

I actually decided to experiment a little with my style and used Kailas as my guinea pig. But thank you nonetheless. And don't worry, I get what you mean.

The sea breeze was definitely intentional. I did add a motion blur at one point, so I may replace this one with that. The shading in itself was experimental. I'm quite satisfied with the result.

Oh, don't worry about the scarring. I plan to add that as soon as I can. I like to research these things to make them seem more realistic instead of just slapping on some pink lines. Argh! I wanted to have breast bindings around her chest instead of a shirt so I could try my hand at that particular scar of hers.

Ohoho, but I'm used to that bind. I drew masculine women a lot back in the day. Thank goodness I got rid of the Adam's apple though. (And you're not the only one! I've been called sir so many times until I started to grow my hair out. And it still happens on occasion.)

And psh, large breasts like that are overrated. Nice (to an extent), but still overrated.

I gotcha. I appreciate your critique and I'll see what I can do about the right hand. >:3

Hey, it's my pleasure. I'm very giddy that you like 'em. x]

ARGH!

Damn, you are way better at dynamic poses than me lol.

This is a great pose and I do love the sketchy inking style and use of colour.

I will agree with Shinji that she does look very masculine in this but thats something I've been criticised for before. Its hard I know . I think what would probably make her look more feminine is make her face shorter, her neck thinner and accentuate a woman's natural tapering at the waist before the hips.

I am absolutely no better btw so just go with what works for you ^_~. Its really great to see some more artistic comrades taking on chigai and all of its awesomeness

Thank you, thank you. This is a lil' embarrassing.

And 'ey, I'm working on it again as we speak. I'll try my best to fix her up like I want her to be (taking your and Shinji's suggestions into account of course).

And yush! We need more comrades to take on the challenge of Chigai.

ARGH!

Embarassing? How so?

I'm not very used to getting attention like this. xD;

ARGH!

There, definitely looks more womanly now ^_^. Plus those scars are awesome!

Haha, thank you. xD Glad I got it right this time 'round!

ARGH!

~Doukeshi03 is absolutely right--this is even better than the first version was!

She looks very womanly now--the change in the face really helps with that. She's actually quite pretty. I'd say the only thing that keeps her from looking womanly all over is the fact that she's well-built and her clothes are loose, but one look at the face makes me know immediately she's a woman. I dig it.

And I love her scarring! How did you wind up doing that? They really look like burns!
