Artist's Comments

This drawing is for my friend Kenosis Pamine...(There. I even put your family name.):nod:
(Sorry! The scan really turned out bad!!!):cries:

I found this pretty warrior girl...
I tried to draw her but I kept making mistakes...
So I just modified the costume a bit...
I remember Kenny told me that she looks a bit like a "babaylan" .
(Warrior-priestess in Philippine History...Not really sure about the facts...):D

Edit:
A "babaylan" is a sort of witch-doctor or warrior-thief that was common around much of Luzon and Visayas, notably in Negros, during the 19th century
A friend supplied me with this info...^^

Thanks! Hehe... It's an honor for me that you said her face looked like Iris' from Ragnarok...
Lol... As for the weapon, it has so many frills, it woud probably drag it down if not thrown properly... Lol
But I'm sure you could manage to throw it...:D

Her hands and feet are drawn very well too!

Well done!!!

hey! I like the details especially on the dress. I like how you inked it... the thick to thin lines... I just think her face is somewhat... uhm... I think her mouth is the problem. but anyway, it really is a nice lineart! I'm not telling you this just to make you feel good... astig sya! Galing mo nga sa inking!

Today is just like yesterday. Every tomorrow is also like today. Things happen and then become past. So, everyday is repeated in this way as if nothing ever happened.
