Description For UnusSolum  

An ace captain of the Karelian RKL, Caoimhe is the adopted daughter of Kika Birgir, a Karelian hero from the Great War. She's also a childhood friend of Kejserinde Frida whom Birgir also largely raised. Always one desperate to please, she focused much of her career on trying to live up to Birgir's legacy. As a member of the RKL, she's known to often become frustrated with Frida for not providing her special treatment. None the less, after her heroics at Aki as part of the famous TALINGRODZAK fleet, she's now been selected as a possible admiral for Karelia's air-force expansion. An opportunity she hopes to make the most of; a feat given her unusual command style and only made possible by the positive commendations provided by the admiral of Talingrodzak, Irenka Kolar. 

Behind is the Antonia Mathiasen, her airfortress during the Karelian-Shirudan War. A Karelian N.1 Class Airfortress, it's among the most advanced airfortress' ever built, and the second largest class next to Enshaw's. Unlike the customer N.3 class for Karelia's allies, it features state of the art computers and has one of it's turrets replaced for missiles silos. The Antonia Mathasen recorded over 20 kills during the Northern War, making it the most decorated of Karelian airships.  

Anyways, my battle to find a straight to digital style I like. I've found that vehicles are fin, but characters, especially faces, are near impossible. But my sketch lines, I often find, have the emotion I wanted. So, idk if this works, but experimenting is all we can do.

Colours are really coming along, highlights look awesome.

Is there a full reference of the ship in the back, and how good are you at UV mapping? xD

The camo looks slick.

Oh, and are you using Photoshop? If you are, change the brush spacing to 1% instead of the default 25. Might lag a bit more, but your lines become infinitely smoother the larger your brush. Just more practice and playing around, your faces and skin are getting better and better every new picture (:

Oooh, I see what you mean. The background ship is neato, but everything else is like good porridge: the maker clearly knows what they're doing; it's not too lumpy, but it's still porridge.  Except for the shading on the white secondary skirt. That's actually pretty cool. Like, really really cool. Using light blue to shade is something I'm going to steal at some point.... Is that okay? Even if it isn't, I'm doing it anyways.
Not like it'll do me any good at this rate, but hey.
