You always put so much detail into the places that matter - the hair, the eyes, the eyelashes and brows, the facial features and upper torso. I love that, because I feel that is what really makes a character in this realistic style - those are always the parts the eyes are drawn to and for a reason. You didn't have to give so much attention to the hair (it would still have looked good), yet you did and in my eyes none of that effort went to waste.

The body is very feminine with a confident stance (she may be leaning against the wall, but she still has pride enough to keep a straight back - at least that is the view where I come from), but she looks to be contemplating something - either questioning or doubting...or my readings are WAY off...time to stop guessing...

The armour is very nice, flowing almost seamlessly all over the body (has it been slightly chipped just above the shoulder?). In my previous post I may have had an issue about space armour mixing with swords but it seems to have grown on me here. Though I do often wonder why it is, that in these setting the abdomen and back get so much less protection - I realise armour is secondary defence, as you aren't supposed to get hit in the first place, and that it really helps bring out the shape of the female body, and I do like it, especially here, but I'd rather keep my torso covered...then again I'm just me

P.S. I apologise for my over use of the hyphen as I realise there are places I should have used a comma or a semicolon but my English grammar has gone downhill from lack of use.

^^ you put into words what my mind could have never been able to formulate on it's own. I was going for exactly what you have spoken. So I'm glad I did accomplish my goal .

I agree on the armor though how the stomach and back area are exposed. I actually personally don't like that either but the reason why I went this route was because every time I tried to cover her up, she ended up getting too bulky and thus her attractiveness went away :/. In compromise I added some stomach plating , and you can't really see it but on her back is some back plating as well even though it's thin.

no need to apologize to me! D:
speak your mind freely! There are no walls of hinderance here SirCheeseHead

and Your grammar has not gone "downhill" it's fine ^^

Wow

From a purely technical point of view this is probably your best work yet. lovely created with very fine details and seamless well constructed overall design and execution

The arm and face in particular looks striking, the fluid and harmonious way that you have connected the various elements to make it a natural whole really adds a sense of reality, so to speak, you have also managed to make it look amazingly true to the phantom design while still keeping the character you own.

Brilliant work

My pleasure, one can certainly see that you are improving wonderfully, keep this up and I will soon run out of positive adjectives and have to invent some new ones of my own to compensate

But to be serious you are getting very good very quickly, and I am eager to see what you will come up with next

Damn. Just damn. Wicked.
I can just imagine what she's thinking right now.
"What am I fighting for now? This armor, these weapons. I thought that I was going to be a Valkyrie. A defender of humanity. But now..."
"Am I on the right side?"
Beautiful.
Incredible.
And 10 stars for effective addition of realism.
