Fairy Elf Princess Ninja

The colored version her line art counterpart. This again is the Fairy Elf Princess Ninja and she was made (as a joke) for my character professor.

She's not going to be a continued character but still I named her: Princess Naisha Dyi-kori.

As for the style and the pic in general in drawling this picture I was challenging myself to 2 different things.

First: No lineart. I'm trying for now to get away from using lineart becasuse I feel that I've leaned on it too heavily in the past and because it forces me to use more detail to make it looke right without it. LOTS better than my last attempt... which ironically enough was also a fairy and is located in my gallery for comparison.

Second: Experiment in using textures. I like the way it came out though I know I still have a long way to go with textures.

I realize that the background is rather plain but I would prefer to wait until I have a better understanding of how backgrounds look and work before adding it to the picture. Plus the original idea for this image was to have it be similar to the 3-D profile images one finds for video game characters with plain white backgrounds on gamespot.

Comments, questions or suggestions for improvement are greatly welcomed.
