    Finally, here is the last of the five Avatars. I decided to take my time with it and use it as a test run for inkscape, which refaal uses for his drawings. It's cuts the worktime down considerably, so it might be a permanent switch for me. But it still does take considerable ammounts of clean up time so hopefully I can figure out how to get a cleaner product out in the early get go.

    There you have it folks, five out of five. I'll be taking a break from this storyline to do work on some other things, but keep your eyes peeled, you may not know what's going to turn up.

    Wow, this is definitely my favoritist avatar of them all!  She's got a very cool and dynamic pose, awesome body, and the fully colored picture of hers makes her look extremely intimidating and beautiful.  Out of all the avatars you definitely nailed this one pat!

    Great pics!  I particularly love the ubermuscluar Terminatrix-style drawing.  Beautifully rendered and coloured, both of them.  Thanks for sharing your avatars with us!

    I am sorry, KtM, but IMHO this one looks too masculine.  Too angular and squared at the shoulders for me… with the cloak and cowl in her civilian mode, I thought she was a GUY. 

    Technically, it looks clean, crisp, good colors and all… and a fierce warrior… but not female enough for me. 

    I'm glad you got the set finished, though.  Can hardly wait for their enemies to fight.

    Nice work ktm – very interesting story and great quality drawings.  I think Jimmy Dimples commments regarding the cloaked drawing looking like a guy may stem from the cloak itself – it shows no signs of accommodating breasts, and so looks rather flat in the chest area.  I think some work here would definitely help to make that drawing more feminine.  Just my 2 cents on a great set of drawings.

    In defense of my work, I'm not here to perpetuate the stereotype that the female figure is purely defined by a 'huge knocker, round face and pointy chin' look. I chose to draw her in an angular fashion to portray a battle hardened look outlined by a strict and stiff posture and emphasized by very angular and hard edges. Being a one trick pony that uses only one face shape with different eyes and hair is what I'm very much trying to avoiding. If experimenting with your craft and trying out different things is wrong then hey I don't want to be right.  😛

    Fair 'nuff and understandable. 😉 Just expressing MY take.  YMMV.

    Are names really that overrated?  I mean, names can define aspects of a person…
