Excellent POV! Great use of the city blocks. Hope she makes it out alive!

It's a neat piece, Tom. Stonemason sure offers up some amazing freebies/cheapies and you've put them to great use - plus your addition of the glowing light panels is inspired and adds a real punch to the image. The composition has a great sense of dramatic adventure, ala many anime (not to mention your cited inspirations). Her cold stare with those robotic/cyborg iris' make her as much an enigmatic threat as the floaters stalking her. I know this is your first REALLY finished DAZ piece and I think it's an inspired, well-crafted start.
