Well, I was going to wait a bit longer before posting this, but despite some mistakes in both the linework and colouring (even though I used a reference drawn by *bri-chan for the pose as well as some of the hair), I'm far too proud of this, which is why I'm posting it.
She is called "The Jackal" (at least until I can come up with something better) and she's a magickal girl...well, a magickal girl if you lived in Hell (and I mean that quite literally). She started out as a fan senshi named 'SailorVoid' , but she's evolved (thankfully) over the course of almost ten years. Though she's no longer a sailor senshi, I might still make an alternate version of her as a fan senshi sometime in the future, but she won't be called SailorVoid.
I played with colour theory on this more than most of my pieces to date, plus I looked up some reference pictures for both the shiney leather bits of her outfit and well as the shine on that big-ass claw thingy of hers. I would have given her a traditonal magickal girl wand to bean people over the head with, but that's just too stereotypical (plus the claw is much more awesome...at least I hope).
Enjoy!

Her expression takes the cakes, it's awesome!
You did a great job with the outfit and hair too. I'd buy it, minus the skirt thingy.

Stupid fucking DA. I'm 100% positive I already commented on this.
Anyway, once again, as I said in my last comment ( 
The shinies look awesome too. ^_^ Excellent job on that, per usual."

Thank you, but she's not a Sailor Senshi. I can see how you'd get confused though.

Evil was what I was going on (as well as a touch of madness). Thank you for the lovely comments.

I can definitely tell you've been using colour theory... and the effect in this one is quite lovely.
buuuut... I can't wait to hear more of what you've come up with/decided to do with her. ^_^

HeeHee. I think I drew her too short, truth be told. 
Oh, I plan to draw up more of her though, once I can get some inspiration, but it seems everytime I feel inspired, my birthmonster finds a way to drain it from me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah... that could be it. hell - I have a tablet and I'm just getting the hang of drawing with it still. X_X yeah... I think the broadness of the shoulders makes me expect a more curvacious bottom, or at least wider hips.
I'm sorry doll. I wish she'd stop. I want to see more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, her hips are supposed to be wider, but I didn't notice it until I had already inked her. X_X; I'll just have to keep that in mind next time. She's supposed to be short yet curvy. I'm inspired by Frazetta, what else can I say?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe, it's all good. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As do I...I'll bulk up her hips a bit on the next pic I draw of her. I wanna do a character study pic to give some people ideas as to what her fuku looks like.

sounds good.

I agree with you. People have a tendency to get details on my characters wrong (not that I mind too much

Niiiiiiiiiice!!! I's like a lot!!
Only two things I can say wrong about it, is her waist and neck could be doing with being a bit thinner..... err yup, that's all
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank, man. You're right about the neck though. it could have been a little thinner, but the waist shouldn't be (I'm not a big fan of thin waists).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, thin waists look slightly weird, but it was the fact that she looked well toned that made me see her waist as being on the large side. The back part to her, just looks like it should come inwards, just a touch.
Bigger hips would be a good idea, but doing that without making her waist just that little bit thinner, would make her seem.. not sure of the right word, but this'll do, chunky, and I don't think that wouldn't fit the rest of the image!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...I can definiently see where your coming from on that one. Too bad I can't touch this up now (since it's inked in gel pen and ballpoint), but I can play with your suggestions the next time I draw her.

Oh, that's lovely!
Her outfit is cool!
And I also think that claws match better than wand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. The claw does look alot better.

wow this is awesome!! i love her outfit, and her hair looks great
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, and the term 'flawless' to describe her face is a bit ironic, don't you think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the hair is so pretty!
and you pulled off the leather-ness very well. :3

hm.. well it gets so tiny i it wouldnt be nesecry for too much detail.. just simple what kinda shoe is it a thigh high black boot?? ( lol cause thats how the pixel rendition would read)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, she wears bondagey-type platform boot that both go up to the knee. He left leg is covered in black patent leather all the way up while the right left only goes halfway up her thigh (like a leather stocking). I hope I made sense to you, because I don't think I made much sense to myself.

it did... one leg all black one leg half black!
