Description
Finally. Finished with this one.You know, I'm honestly not even all that sure if I like this. I think the finishing and subsequent submitting of the drawing is probably just in an effort to get this fucking monkey off my back.
The background is totally half-assed. It wasn't agreeing with me all that well -- I had this image in my mind of a kind of futuristic Classical-style temple in ruin, and all this cool alien stuff... but I just didn't have it in me to draw it.
Anyways.
This took me maybe a total of 5 or 6 hours spread across 3 weeks or so, mostly doodling stuff while bored with nothing better to do, with tons of little breaks.
And yes, her crotch area is glowing.

You do excellent work. I wish I could work so cleanly. My stuff is a mess.

Thanks!
I often wish I could -- or that I should -- add more texture to my drawings. Because it almost seems a bit TOO clean.

Texture is a funny thing. I just try different things until it looks good to my eye. [link] has some great stuff here on DA. Just try some and see how you like it. You may or may not. Good luck.

I love the concept of the drawing. It's really nice, and very... well, classic-defying. I like the title and how where you'd you usually see a blonde, hammer-wielding, scandily clad girl, you see an armoured, futuristic and bald, pale woman. Very nice.
For constructive critisism. Her nearer arm looks a little off, as if it's too round on arm and forearm, and maybe it's a bit too short? The other leg, the one that you cannot see... it should be visible a little.
I really like it, nevertheless.

Thanks!
I think that with the arm... I agree that they're off, but I'd actually say that the far arm is a bit too long. And honestly, both arms may be a bit long.
Her other leg is supposed to be occluded by her nearer one, and she's standing at attention.
