shes got bolt boobies
if thats not an innuendo then i dunno what is :3
I like the weird arm the best...the tubing and wiring makes it look really intricate like a real machine of that sort would prolly be.

Yep, *ultema struck gold when creating this character. I was just trying to stay as true to it as possible. Mainly by focusing on that arm. And thats what I like about the arm. The mechanics actually look like they could function properly. So that definitley helped to draw it.
And them bolt nips are indeed a bit... phallic. lol. And yet, they work. Go figure.

A little tiny bit yeah XD not enough to be tremendous if one had to run through. I guess that's why she's always in a squad, so if the time comes to run she can be like "CARRY ME D:"

Another really good one, another question since I know what your drawing with how do you start the drawings might I ask with basic lines and shapes and then erase them when you ahve to basic finish done, cause I seriously dont see any pencil marks in the background to show any mistakes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, I start off wit a simple frame. Than add some shapes. THAN I go into some deeper details. All done with the blueline pencil. And here's why. The blue pencil comes out really REALLY light unless applied quite aggresively. As a result, when scanned, most of the blueline deosn't show up. So all those nastly little pre-drawing details won't show up, but they are on the actual drawing.
So now when I print out a copy to ink, and scan the ink version, none of the blueline will show up whatsoever. And if any of it does, its a simple task to get rid of it in photoshop using the hue/saturation option.
Hope that helps. Also, I don't have a steady hand at all either. Its just a matter of learning how to work with the "swoops" of it. Straight lines through constant motion.

AHhh I see, thank you very much, you work is very excellent I like it alot, even if they not your character your abilities are incrediable.
Where do you get the Blue Pencils btw any special art store ot something only online?

Thanks, man.
As for Blue Pencils, they're actually a pain in the ass to find for some reason. I had gotten on at Pearl Paint. Which is a pretty hardcore art store. But I'm not sure if they're a chain outside of Jersey. I guess you can check with art teachers at local schools to recommend good stores in your area.
But I recently got blueline graphite to put in a lead/graphite holder at MisterArt.com . Let's see if I can find the links for both the lead and the graphite holder for you. (The pencils are cheaper btw, but last as long as a normal pencl would)
Blueline leads: [link]
Basic Lead Holder: [link]
Hope that helps you out a bit.

Thank you.
I gather from the works in your gallery that you have a high appreciation for the combination of strong yet feminine. That's something I usually try to strive for when working on female characters. There's definitely more personality in it.

I always loved mecha, partially out of envy, because i can't draw it at all..>_>
But this is amazinggg. I like the contraption on her arm! You did a really good job on the details. :0

I'm not big on drawing mecha either, but the character was too cool to pass up on putting that arm in there. I refuse to not give my all for a contest winner, so I definitely went out of my way to get that arm done. Than strangely, for the first time ever, the mechanics of it weren't hard to draw. lol. It was definitely worth the effort.
Thanks for checking it out. I'm glad you're diggin it.

Very nice you ever consider taking a pin or photoshop the lines to make then darker?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. Actually, these are just the pencils. I still plan on inking it when I get the chance. I'd do it in photoshop, but I don't have a tablet. I think it'd take waaaay too long by mouse.

Ya mouse takes way to long, I got a tablet and its so much easier.

Aaaah! I love what you did with her! I'm really fond of her leg shape, they're really awesome 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. The way you do art? OH HELL YEA!! That'd be friggin awesome! D D
I'm really glad you like it. I was hoping I didn't go to far off the reservation in overall look. I wasn't too concerned about the details so much as capturing the character herself. But I think I did alright. And the arm was actually pretty fun once I got a look on how you put it together. Don't know if you realized it or not, but you drew it in pieces that look like they'd actually function. It had a mix of crane, car, and even computer tech mechanics in there. It made it a tad easier after that.
But I like drawing hair. For some reason I've come up with my own style to drawing it that just looks cool.
....now all I gotta do is ink the thing. lol.

It's all good! When people add their own flair it makes it that much more interesting I think 
XD Take your time! But thank you again
