>>>>>>>>>>>>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!

amazing work. good coloring and perspective use. I also like the out of focus background effect.
Motoko Kusanagi (Major) is one of my favorite characters of all time.

Holy crap. Very sharp and beautiful. Poor Tachikoma, though.
I'm particularly fond of that time of day, especially in autumn.

I would love to say more, but all of my thoughts summed up for this image would be simply, "Incredible!"
Wouldn't dare look at this for less than an hour. >3

Having not only seen the series but also played the PS2 game, it looks like the helos in the background are Gigabachis.

Marvelous work. Love the level of detail you put into this work.

Oh I just read ALL the description
The Tachikoma, which I am sure you now realize after watching all the series - are adapting with their own individuality -- so it's not just a shell. Aww!

Holy Crap a zillion pages of comments -- I actually found you through some link off somewhere, not browsing DA -- I wish I had done a search for Motoko a long time ago if I could have found this.
This is exquisite. Not to mention I'm a HUGE, and I mean DISGUSTINGLY HUGE GITS fan. Not many people know about that show (fan of the Manga too) and it's a pity.
Absolutely stunning work here mate.
