Valkyrie Girl

Oh boy... I dunno where to start explaining.

First of all, this is one of those images that I just started drawing, and didn't know what it was going to be. This time I ended up making a girl with wings and wearing some really odd wear. She doesn't look like an angel, with the wings being more bird-like, so I was forced to think of something else. Somehow the word 'valkyrie' took over my thoughts. I didn't really even know what valkyries are, or if wings are part of their standard gear, but I've seen plenty of anime and comic character valkyries with wings and helmets equipped with small wings. I ended up checking out info on valkyries from wikipedia, and apparently they're not really much like my character here... and valkyries often seem to carry armor, even in cartoon art. Anyways, let's just say this one is a cliché comic valkyrie or something.

The original lineart I did in rush, which might explain the somewhat unbalanced pose. I'm hoping that the colouring which I used nearly two full days on will help the issue a bit. Though... just as usual, nearing the end I got tired of certain features in the pic and ended up leaving them rather simplified. Such as the wings, half of the blanket... some of the hair, etc. I think I really should consider taking a step backwards with my colouring. It's way too common for me these days to run into situations where the colouring takes a tad bit too long and I can't concentrate with a dozen of new ideas in my mind. Even if you might like the new style, it's really tiresome, and before your interests comes my satisfaction, so you can expect me to try some more basic colouring styles in my next submissions. I want to get my old submission rhythm back.

And last, but not least, as you can see, there's a nipple showing, so this is mature content. I also wanted to make this a mature content pic, since the previous one helped me to get a lot of new watchers. I want to remind all you recent new watchers, my art contains plenty of mature content pics, so be aware that there may more nipples and other such content showing up in my art in future as well.

Another reason for the nipple is that if I had left it covered, this would be just like every other of my recent pics (nurse and college girl for example). The nipple makes a slight difference. Right?

I guess... that about sums it up.

Expect a new pic sometime next week. The rest of this week looks busy. ^^
