Description I've redrawn Harrow so that her pose, and anatomy, is more realistic. I'll be updating the other one when I've put the trench coat over the top of this one, and added the grappling hook. This piece was just to finalise the design of Ms Loral's bodysuit. I have several other designs for the padding, but this is the one I think I'll be sticking with.
Used Inkscape's cheap 'trace bitmap' tool, so it's pretty blobby in places.

I'd appreciate any critiques on anatomy and stuff.

Crit time!

Okaaay... I see you tried to take my suggestion with the shoulder, and it is improved, but now it looks kinda bulgy; you ought to taper the neck muscle into the bone's position a bit, I think. Expression looks good, not sure about the dark stuff around the eyes, though? Is she meant to look tired, or too much eyeshadow? :] Her proportions are mostly okay, there's a big leg to torso ratio but I'd say that kinda works... You still can't draw breasts, though. Her right hand looks brilliant, though I think the left might be a bit small? Difficult to draw with that perspective, of course. I really like the gun. Hm, what's gonna be on her feet? Is this like a fullbody thing she'll wear under trousers and boots?

Oh, one minor issue might be her hair. I know I'm always at you for practicality, but past shoulder length would not make fighting easy. Heck, mine gets in the way enough, last time I had an epic duel with a dragon monster it really got in the way. x]

Anyway, yes. :] Otherwise, 'tis excellent.

Yay! ^^ Thanks very much.

I sure did try. xD Yeah, that does look a little weird. I'll sort that out soon, thanks. Well, the dark rings around her eyes are both of those, kinda. I mean, she is meant to look tired, but my female characters all have slightly darker areas around their eyes than the male ones. It's not eye-shadow, though.
Yeah, the leg to torso ratio was intentional. Glad it looks okay. ...What's wrong with her boobs? ; _ ;
'Kay, I'll scale that up a bit when I correct the arm. :3
She wears the same shoes she's always worn before now. The red ones. I'll be adding those when I add the trench coat. Yeah, it's a full-body thing she'll be wearing under the trench coat and boots. I thought you already knew that? o-o She usually wears it when she's travelling.

Well I'm not giving her a military crew cut. xD The version you see here is caught up in the Fafnir incident, and doesn't exactly get time to prepare for it (hence the tired-looking eyes). She doesn't get the opportunity to cut her hair or tie it up.
Maybe you're just lousy at fighting wyverns? x3

Thanks, Maze. I really appreciate the feedback. ^^

Anatomy looks good, minus the neck, as previously mentioned. The suit lacks depth, making the limbs look too flat. And what appears to be the grip of the gun seems to be built for someone with huge palms and long thin fingers, rendering it awkward for someone like her to operate.

Okay, thanks. Yeah, the suit is only block-coloured right now. It'll look more 3D if I ever shade it.

It was built for someone with huge palms and long thin fingers. They were designed to be operated by dragons, not humans. It's not actually her gun - notice the name on the side.

Ah, ok.
The gun seemed almost too awkward to have been drawn that way simply by mistake, but I wasn't sure.

Heh, no worries. It's not like I provided a great deal of background information when I posted this.

i don't really have any anatomy comments, as it looks proportioned... except maybe the thickness of the neck. in my opinion it's a litle thick for someone of that body size.

love the gun btw!

Hm, I've always had problems drawing necks.
Thanks for not pointing out the fact that she still has freaky eyes. ;D

there's probably some way to fix that without having to re-draw the whole thing... i don't quite know what tool would work though...
and as for the eyes, i thought that was intentional to "add character to the character".

It'd be easy enough to redraw. I may change it later.
The eyes are large so that I can be more expressive (not that I've ever drawn Melissa without a frown over her face), but everyone thinks they're creepy. :<

lol maybe, but if i were to do that, it would have to be a battle scene, and it would have to be 6-7 characters... (Tyrus vs. Fenrir, Darius vs. Hati, Eyrnai vs. Skoll, +Faust in there too) that's way too many O_o

Seriously, you should do more with the Hrodvitnissons. ^^

Nice.
