I think the major's sexiest feature is of course, the fact that she totally KICKS ASS. I never really got into GITS, but a friend who loves the show gave me the entire 2nd season, and I've watched a fiar amount. The major is so kickass, I'm glad I got to draw her!

Fantastic artwork. Would it be possible sometime to see the line art you start with just before you start coloring? I am new to the computer art stuff, and am curious to see just how intricate it needs to be before you start adding color.
Thanks alot for that. It showed me what i was looking for. I was just curious as to how in depth you went with your lineart, before you started to add color. Thanks for taking the time to show me.
Pleasing rendering. The composition is not very satisfying however. It might make sense if there was a huge logo or text to the left/upper, but there is not.
I know the bane of trying to find composition that works.. uuugh!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
