    I did this on the back of my test the other day. I got an A so it's cool.

    I suck, but to what degree? You decide.

    I actually really really like it =/

    It gives me the Tim Burton kinda vive ya know?

    Her arm that isnt holding the sword is very akwardly placed though, hand needs a little work, looks like shes wearing witch gloves and the leg looks bent funny *thinks* But besides that it looks very well done

    It reminds me of Code Geass. I like Code Geass artwork, so I like your drawing. Keep up the good work.

    Well you asked for a CnC so here's one and myabe not a very good one since I'm no pro. XD

    I agree with Rosey how she's holding the katana and she more or less looks like she's ashamed like a girl embarrassed in a picture. If you could just raise her arms higher with that sword parallel with the arm that is holding the sword, then it would look nicer and better to see.

    PS, are you drawing a special anime style or trying to draw realistic style?

    Overall, I'd have to say some work but looks good nevertheless. :3

    I actually have gotten that before. A friend of mine said the exact same thing about an older pic.

    I thought so too. However I was kinda thought I should try for a feel of movement there, that's why the fingers are trailing after the hand, I think it failed and it seems you agree. The leg thing is just me being sloppy. So, you pretty much saw what I saw as far as what was wrong here. I'm glad someone else agrees.

    I don't see why my stuff makes everyone think of Code Geass, it's a bit weird, and I don't see the connection honestly.

    Okay, it's not a katana. It's way too short to be a proper katana. Next, I see. Maybe I should have considered that. I really wasn't going for that look, but it could have worked. I could try it later.

    To your P.S. It's mostly simplified people, so I'd have to say it's far more akin to anime/manga than realism.

    Hm? Please define "simplified people" and "far more akin to anime/manga than realism". I can't understand that during the situation I'm in right now.

    Simplified is basically I omit things that make it look realistic and the like, it's a simple sketch that resembles a person but lacks things like a realistic set of facial features and body type.

    Akin simply means similar to in this context. So I only said it's a hell of a lot closer to being manga or anime than it is to being realistic. Though, I was under the impression all of this was fairly obvious.

    Ah. I understand. Well yes if you put it that way so the only problem would be the arms. That is all.
