I love how you managed to make this so colorful. I'd love to learn to use watercolor well enough to create something like this- a very stylish portrait . . . and who doesn't love Starbuck? XD

It's strange that watercolour is quintessentially vague, yet this, in my opinion, is one of the best likenesses of Thrace I've seen. Well done.

Liked Kara Thrace until she started getting really 'fringy' (for lack of a better word) I mean c'mon, she's a military leader!!
Nice piece!

Thank you. Yeah, Kara has been through some changes, but I love her for her flaws, not in spite of 'em.

Her 'maverick' and independent sensibility also made me like her.
But the linear rules of military organizations would probably not tolerate her excesses even in time of war. She probably would be low on the Command ladder but respected to some extent above and below her. But hey, this is Sci-fi Opera! Who knows what this military culture is really like?
(Food for writers of this genre) I still think she's a hottie. (no offense)

Great fanart! I really like this. Beautiful sketch. How did you get the water color effect in the bottom left corner. salt? photoshop?

Thanks, I'm happy you like it! That's coarse salt sprinkled into the wet paint that you're seeing...a sometimes cheesy effect that I can't help but love anyway!
