omg they rock ... 
nice
Wow.
That is all.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Now that is beautiful work, like the preliminary sketches too
Very nice work!
Truly great work, I love the way you make you art alive. Think I will pester you about making one more picture for me :P
OH MY GOD!! *BOUNCE* *BOUNCE* *BOUNCE* *BOUNCE* *BOUNCE*
You ROCK Swissy!!! That picture is AWESOME!
Pizza? Hell.. At the very LEAST!!!
A harem? I'll do my best!!! Hmm.... what was that au pair's phone number again....

\o/ *bounces too*
Glad you like it FFM ^^
Thanks all for your comments thus far. 
Having regained my speech from the first time I've seen the finished work... (I've seen the sketches not long after FFM got them)
That's really awesome.
I'm not too sure about the colouring, seeing as her base colour is white, and I don't think ambiant light would cause so total a colour saturation (particuarly the hair), plus the eyes should be green (But how were you to know, right? 
)
I'm really, really, really... no, I'm not tempted to ask you for one of mine... I'm asking!
Would you be willing to do one of my main: Jessica "Grav Mistress" van Steenbergen?
And... while I'm at it...
Would you be willing to do one of both Miss Ellie and Grav Mistress?
(They're a happy RP couple, set to marry on Halloween)

....*whisper* show off
..and for the record those 'sketches' .. arent sketches, there full fledged artwork
@Inkwave ..(darn merge)
Hmmm.
I thought the base colour was white. And I understood that the sun was probably setting which caused the colours to change slightly.
But I didn't want to take any chances in that area. I went along with what I could see (the light purple, the orange, the white reflections and the negative greys). I crossed paths with miss Ellie once in game at Stasis' party but it never occured to me to double check by taking screens sicne I already had the reference sent by FFM in a folder.
Doh!
The perfect example is the eyes: the face used in game has plain black eyes. I assumed blue would suit it. And I was wrong.. ^^
I could go back and change the eye colour but for the body that would require a total reset of the body layers...
Send in the screenies and I'll see what I can do. But remember I got other people waiting too
@ Foresight:
The pencil pic was just a sketch. It just got a little more attention when I was on the phone at work. Just subconsciouly shading it.
Thanks again for the comments
Stupid edit timer...
Can't edit my first post anymore ¬¬
Quickly made a bigger sized wallpaper:
1280x1024
Oooh! That one will almost fit on my 1400x900 widescreen display!

Cool picture Swissy! Awesome
The finished color version is almost too sugarcute ^^ She has that sailormoonish "Always ready! Sir!" girlscoutness to her. The catears are very cute and cat-like (on the sketches they are more like bunny ears. Or possibly bat ) The stretched perspective (that's your new thing, isnt it ) works, even though IMO it works better on the line-art than in the finished picture, somehow the shading adds to the distortion in "that" way. For example, comparing lineart and colored, her forehead seems bigger/longer in colored. I like her face a lot, very good expression and lively eyes.
The first sketch rocks too I'd love to see you work on that picture idea (with different char perhaps)

Personally, aside from the slight differences in the colouring which I wasn't going to mention as I LOOOVE the pic, I think he managed to catch her personality very well in that pic!
She IS very cute and rather small built, and doesn't look too tough; but that just hides the fact that she's a devastatingly powerfull level 50 triform Peacebringer! 
She IS always ready and is a definately bit of a goody goody girlscout as well!

Well, I'm chuffed you like it FFM, regardless of the slight colour variation. Honest.
Blackdove, thank you again so much for your feedback!
I'll definitely be re-using the pose of the second attempt. It'll have to be a sexy toon though.. kekeke
DreamWeaver... heh, I wouldn't go that far
^^U
Like it? Mate... It's already my desktop background.. And I've printed it out too, on photo paper no less!!

Maybe I should do a 1400x900 WP then...
Nah! As much as I like the pink, it was a bit hard on my eyes as I have a blue abstract desktop.. so I cut Ellie out, and pasted her onto my current pic, and now she peeks up at me from the left side of my screen, like this!

So uhm.. I've been very busy lately.
The "watching anime, leveling up coming from work absolutely wrecked" kind of busy...
Anyhoo, I'm quite happy how this one turned out.

Second attempt... (zomg those cat ears >_<
Hope you like it. As I said I had much fun doing this one.
