>>>>>>>>>>>>FULL VIEW........OR ELSE!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<detail shots can be found here [link]
i bet you never thought you would see the finished piece...those work in progress shots were submitted AGES ago!
well after a lot of time and effort, here she is..... Motoko Kusanagi
this started out life when i decided i loved the anime series so much that i wanted my very own poster of it...so i thought i would make one
i suppose this scene was inspired by episode 4 in 2nd GIG (GITS fans know the one i mean) theres an amazing scene at the end where kusanagi and her tachikoma are chased under a hail of bullets from one of the Hornet attack copters...so i painted my version of that
and dont feel so sorry for the tachikoma...its just a shell.
ENJOY!

I totally know what you're talking about! I love this anime series and you totally did it justice! Great job!!!!1!!!11111 Plus...I love how you did her hair. I used to have her haircut about two years ago and now I'm growing my hair out to have the style. You can look in my gallery and find some shots of it. :-D

This is obviously an excellent piece, but it just shows how excellent it is when it still gets comments and faves 2 years after it's first appearance.

*breathless* This is beautiful. The artwork in Motoko's goggle/visor/thing must of taken you forever to pull of, it's spectacular. I've seen that episode too (it got me into the series) & I must say, to get this from that episode is truly genius. Amazing!

Good work, my only comment (GiTS fans will get this) "That's was cruel!" (hint: think about the Tachikoma comment... and Togusa's similar comment.... and Tachikoma's reaction...)
