my robot girl character, Cactus :) She is in love with overpowered weaponry

The linework is at least a few months old now, which is unusual for me since I normally colour what I'm going to, immediately, and ditch everything else, but I've had so little time lately. I doodled this and actually inked it with pen (normally I use a brush) since I was at a friends house. (while watching Being John Malkovich on television, actually)

Character wise, I didn't have my existing pictures for reference so her design changed a bit again, some parts for the better, and some stuff not.

Art wise, her head's too big (but then I always draw large heads and kind of like it so it's a fine line between 'error' and 'style') and the feet seem a little small. Still, I was fond of the picture and I liked how it came up.

Media used : pencil and pen on paper, scanned and coloured in Photoshop, background made in 3DSMAX 6

Nice. Top notch colouring as usual. The head is fine; stylistically it fits, so unless you were going for wholly correct anatomy, you've got nothing to worry about :P

I like the design of the gun and the armour (or, well, her body I guess, being a robot and all). The only wierd thing about it is her tiny little feet. But that may be how you wanted em, so eh.

Also, I like her expression. It's goofy but in a good way.

this is a C I haven't seen before, so I don't have any previous reference, still I can see how her feet can be considered too small.

I didn't know that you generally use a brush to ink with, but that explains a heavy line style, and this Is quite a bit thinner to me.

I like the color job, and the design; it seems a wonderfully done piece to me, and I think I'm going to send a friend to see this one, as it demonstrates some of the finer points of robotic humanoid design that I was telling him.

Anyway, Great picture.
