Description Yaaaay! So I was dreading coloring this, because, to be honest (due to lack of skill) I absolutely hate coloring long stretches of uninterupted cloth - I need folds and different pieces of clothing to be happy shading T_T which means I need to get better, but that's besides the point. I went the gradiant route, except on the skin, and I actually really like it. We'll see if I still do tomorrow buuut...I love the colors, and I think the lines themselves are pretty good - especially her hands. The window is based off of some Chinese moon type windows I've seen.

The basic head (without the clothes and stuff) was sketched by . Buuut, he gave it to me, so I changed a bunch of stuff around and gave her a full body and an outfit and inked it and here we are! Hope everyone else likes it. Oh, and her name should mean something like "Beautiful Phoenix" in Chinese...yes. I love names, and naming things, and I'm very picky about it, if you can't tell by now babynames.com !

I really love the warm colours! Very elegant tall form and gorgeous shape in the background! I totally love the shading on the skin the best, because it isn't gradient'd ;_; The hair has such a pretty texture and shape!

I loved the colors too, I like when that sort of thing clicks into place. The skin was so much fun to do

Wow, very nice.. The lineart is so nice and smooth, and the coloring is awesome. The upper part of her outfit is so creative, and the skin is especially awesome.. I like the gradient effect, too. The whole thing makes me feel like James Bond suave-ness smashed into Asia. XD Great work!

here too, here too I played all the gameboy games, and collected the cards, AND had stadium and snap. Although, I have to admit to thinking digimon was "better" - didn't stop my pokemon obsession though

Ditto. Still play the games. XD; I never liked Digimon, though.. Or that other copy, Yu-Gi-Oh. >_> Ick.

yuuuuck, I don't like yu-gi-oh at all >.< I don't really get that. It's like monster ranchers or whatever that thing was...I don't like shows where it's ALL about selling a product, like the cards or whatever.

NOW I REMEMBER.

This is amazing. (Uuuhm for the record, I had sketched the entire body originally, but you completely changed the clothing, etc. I remember because I remember doing the finishing of the original drawing by adding cigarette smoke). You changed the outfit completely and the smoke, but retained the basic form.

But your parts are the better ones, definitely. The outfit, the inking, the new shape of the smoke, the coloring (amazing skin), the color scheme, and the layout are great. Actually, my least favorite part is the face, which is all my fault.

Oh! Sorry, I didn't remember the body - I can change the desc., if you want. Soooorrrrrrryyyyyy!

Anyway, thank you! A lot a lot. I actually like the face, sooo, haha. I was pretty happy with how the skin came out too, yay. And thanks for the !
