Niska: Are you Familiar with the works of Shan Yu?
They all look great! 
Happy birthday Derek!!
*insert hot pun here*
I likes it of course and you seem to likes it ( as much as any artist can like their own work ) so give yourself a gold star buy a box of cookies and stare at your pretty art for a while
cant think of anything else cliche to toss in at the moment
Direct Trace version colored in Painter and finished in Photoshop... just playing around with Painter, as it's a program I've had forever, but never gave serious time to cause my pc couldn't handle it. Now it can, so now I am...
If you click the reference, I used Snagit to enlarge my print screen capture 300%, which is why it's so choppy on the edges. But for my tracing purposes, the brush I was using needed a larger image to walk around... this one has more drawing on it that my previous try, as I altered the chest logo, added more hair, and elongated the chin. I also defined the arms a bit more, as well as the legs to make her curvier. Was a fun process... so I may do more as time goes by.
