He looks great, Jetryl.

It's great Jetryl, it's better than the current portrait

I realize that Jetryl is very busy. But I hope that this Kalenz portrait is added before 1.0 is released. The current one does, but this image seems more graceful and I love the long hair and curves. I think it compliments the style of the new Li'sar portrait better than the older one does.

I agree.

What the heck is up with the arms on Li'sar, though? The left seems to be missing and the right is awkward-looking...

conflicting perspective/foreshortening errors - which have been fixed:
(this is what I've been up to recently, for those who've been wondering)

Now that's cool. Awesome.

The shape of the boots and the right leg part are a bit funny, though. Especially the right boot, but also the left one - are those the boots of a princess or a soldier?

The right boot looks like the one of a left foot. I mean, it turns outwards and is funnily long.

No offence, just something that hit my eye when I now first time saw this in full length, I mean the feet also, not only the upper body.

Amazing portrait! Great work.
It's not exactly what i imagine when i think about a Battle Princess, she looks vaguely fragile. Well, maybe her main power is not her strenght but her charming look

nevertheless i hope she'll redress before engaging in combat. I guess she does, redressing is a womans job.

(j/k for anyone who thinks i really think that redressing is a womans job)

She counters brute strength with superior skill?

Since she's elusivefoot (i.e. very, very lightly armored, like the Fencer), it makes sense.

The costuming on that is awesome, as is the shading. I love how you managed to make the folds look realistic. I'm not a huge fan of the shading on the skin of her (extremely exposed!) leg, and her expression seems odd, but other than that this is by far your best completed work.

Fantastikupo!

Hmmm... the boot(s) is/are something of an optical illusion.

The arm and hand in the foreground are a triumph.
