Description
At last after not putting up anything September, here's finally some new art!
Woah woah woah, calm down. Let's get the description over with.
This character is a lady I call Shinobu, and yet another runner-up to the red-haired very-little-clothing badass-fighter female character cliche. I tried to design her with a lot of detail, as per many of my recent characters I've been sketching.
For this drawing, I tried making the lineart seem less blocky by doing the lineart on a separate layer from the colors, and the different shading layers on individual layers. Though the proportions may seem a bit odd due to my shading. I tried, I really tried to make this look as best as I possibly can make it, so the people I want my art/OC's to be acknowledged by can do so. Though I am aware that this piece has some minor flubs the hopefully shouldn't have a large impact on the pic with some, all I can say is I'm not trying to be the world's greatest artist, just a decent one at that.
Critiques welcome, and with how slow I'm working on art recently, I might not release another piece of art till the next month or so.
Shinobu is drawn by and (c) *Superjustinbros .

I am not saying this to be mean or anything...but....those bottoms oxo They would be really inefficient in a fight.....in fact she'd need to worry about constantly flashing her enemies, or even children, since she's apparently not wearing anything under it.....you're art is nice but...I would suggest changing some of her design to better suit a ninja...

If you looked at that small white cloth on her top waist-rope, that is basically what goes around her privates. They're very hard to notice at first since the main loincloth does a good job of covering it. Heck some people I've commissioned drawings of Shinobu in the past seem to miss this small detail.
Thanks for the comment, though.

Thanks.
She just has that tattoo I say because it's probably something she did just for the heck of it. Even fighter girls should look good sometimes.

I love the line-art in this one, very clean and smooth, and the thick outline helps the character stand out. Colors are excellent, shading is just pretty beautiful, and the proportions and general anatomy is well scaled and expertly executed with good usage of posture and multiple angles. For the most part.
A minor complaint is her nose. I get the style your imitating, but as it is now, it just seems unusual that the tip of her nose just 'disappears'
Everything looks pretty great until we get to her knee's. When viewed as a whole it looks immediately off, but really if you only correct from her knee's down, the posture would be perfect.
It has to do with the stance. She looks like she's at the ready to throwing the spear. However her legs suggest she's almost falling backwards, which I don't think it what you were intending.
Basically the legs look almost switched. If you look at a pitcher in baseball, you'll see what I mean. People like to 'follow through' with the leg they put their weight on, which on the same side with the hand that's throwing (in this case her right side) and push off with the other leg. Really if the right leg, just bent inward at the knee behind her left leg it would probably look okay.
The shading is truly superb, but I'm a little confused why that shadow on her left side (particularly on the leg) is so hard/rigid while the rest of the shading is so smooth. If you smoothed it out or created it as a gradient I feel it would look more consistent and slightly better, but its a minor issue at least, so it doesn't matter too much.
Lastly this is more nit-picking than anything, but the BG is too bland. It just doesn't add anything, but at the same time, it doesn't really take away anything from your wonderfully crafted focus. Basically, I feel it would be just as well if you left it on a empty 'invisible' BG, so we see nothing, but your fabulous figure drawing.
Again, I really wanna stress that your line art is some of the best I've seen around, and your figure's prove to be once again very well designed and colored, but little nicks in the polish seem to keep it from being flawless.
Its really wonderful to see you improve so suddenly in a lot of ways, and I hope you will continue~

Hmm, the upper part looks alright. Yup, definitely good.
However, her legs are a bit too short, and her right leg is a bit too short in relation to the size of her left leg (since the left leg is bent, it's not at its full length, while the right leg is fully extended, yet also seems to be the same length as the left). Her stance is also a bit awkward. I will say the hands here are downright excellent, and while I think the eyes could use some lowering, the rest of the head and face are all looking really good.
Keep up the good work, dood. You're getting better.
