She's cute! Textures to the extreme - great! Very witty.

I see you have done even more to finish this one up. Most excellent! Is there a story behind this gal? I see she is working in a dangerous area and perhaps a cyborg or android. It looks like an upbeat future culture that she lives in and yet the Peace Sign is forever recognized. Why is her left arm tattered, burned and exoskeleton showing? Anyhoo, just curious, pictures are worth a thousand words but I wonder about the things I see.

There is actually quite a bit of a story behind this one. Actually, this is a concept rendering for the main character of a comic book idea Ive been working on. I already have an initial story synopsis written up and saved on my computer. Obviously, I cant give away too much about it though. As far as the peace sign, its not really a peace sign: This quote from Bruce Tomlin posted on rec.arts.anime.misc probably sums it up better than I can: >I suggest checking out page 18 of >Mangajin's "Basic Japanese Through >Comics" Vol 2 where, it is explained. >While it may have had some meaning as the peace >sign, it is mostly the >V for Victory sign from >WWII, and also a standard gesture when being >photographed. In other words, the picture is saying, I just finished doing something dangerous and risky yet I still came through okay! (Although not completely unscathed). Without giving too much away, as far as the future being an upbeat future culture, it may be so off of the Earth, but life is a lot more difficult for people currently living on Earth at the time this takes place. I hope this was helpful in answering your questions.
