Of the main character Hazel for the web-comic Imperial G.E.L.F (http://www.imperialgelf.com/)

This took to long. Not because of any technique, or artistic problem or any such simple thing as those. I lost my mojo for a few weeks, like sometimes happens. Another term for it, “My muse left me.” Sigh... Enough of that! I went for a softer lighting look then what I have been doing, and less stringent detailing to the textures. I just let the paint do its thing instead of fighting with the colors, and textures. As I understand it, Hazel is a genetically engineered humanoid, of random feline and human mix. So, her appearance as a little more human then feline was crucial (which I did not fully grasp in the pre-sketches). In the end, I really like how this one came out.
