Basically the new pimped out version of this video game unit from the game Vantage Master:

[link]

In Vantage Master Japan though, she can boost the stats of other units which can change the tide of battle in an instant...

Anyway, just trying to crank some stuff out before the semester starts again. Her name in VM3 is now "Amanoikusa" literally means "天の戦" in Japanese (translated as 天軍 on the official website's kanji as well as the Traditional Chinese version)... which pretty much means "Warrior of the Sky".

Why so much background about a name? Well, I had a really time finding out information about her including her actual name until I realized that after taking a semester of Japanese in college I can use Japanese to search the official Falcom website... and because I was pretty proud of myself there's the story.

[link] - how she looks like in the game

[link] - from the official site, if you're interested. (Nothing in English, as far as I know. But the link to her info is on the bottom right of the list, second to last.)

Her left hand seems quite odd to me, but I'm having a hard time fixing it. Well I guess the entire pose could use some work but since I drew most of the body on one layer (stupid mistake, don't imitate) it's tough to change. Hooray for the grass brush in Photoshop, the background would have been an absolute pain without it.

I also made wallpaper versions of this just for the hell of it (doesn't take that long to draw the background), but since I don't really feel like cluttering my gallery with what essentially is the same thing, I'll post it only if people show interest.

That's wonderful !! Wow the illusion of movement and wind in this picture is great. I love your colouring. It almost resembles traditional paint, really impressive ! I love the pose and the colour scheme of the picture. I love every single little detail that you've included in this as well. Everything is great

AWESOME. I love the way you did her face, it looks great. The problem I see with the left arm is that it's a bit small, just make it a tad bigger.

Also, the glove doesn't quite line up with the rest of the arm, it's just a bit crooked. The hand could also be bigger, but just a smidge.

The grass looks pretty good, although the closer it gets to the foreground the more you can tell it was made with a preset brush, you should find a way to offset that. (I have no idea how, but you should find one. XP)

How'd you make the trees? They look sweet! But not quite as sweet as the sky, which is truly amazing. Nice work here, have to fav. =)

92% of the teen population would be dead if Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. Put this in your signature if you're one of the 8% who would be watching and laughing.

I suppose, but ideally the face would be more feminine. Obviously, I still have to work on it though, haha~
