Description Another picture of two of my favorite trouble makers, Nabiki and Armitage.

It is not often that I revisit scenes I had completed, but this time I received some really good suggestions for how to improve this picture.



I hope you like the improvements ^_^

This is a very interesting piece. The contrast between the photrealistic background and the almost cartoonish subjects is very catchy, and it works well with the nonstandard cropping. The pose of the woman on the left is very relaxed and elegant, and I think that is definitely a strength of the piece. However, the pose of the woman on the right strikes me as unnatural, because in order for that pose to be physically successful, she would have to have ridiculous arm strength to maintain the pose. It would be suitable for a workout-type theme, but with the relaxed pose of the woman on the left, it just seems out of place. If you want to have the right woman's feet in the air, I think to make the pose seem more natural, you would have to do without the feet in the air, or at least have one on the ground and one in the air.

I know revisiting a piece a third time starts to wear thin, but when you have let this sit for a while and are ready to come back to it, I would definitely recommend reworking that pose. Other than that one point, I think this piece is a definite winner.

You have a good point, but there was a reason to make her pose somewhat beyond the norm

The character on the right, Armitage, is actually a bio-android and she is ridiculously strong, agile, and durable since her her original design was for assassination.

Impressed with her martial skills, feeling kind of sad for her otherwise.
