Tag As FavoriteComment		Gown + Armor + Elf = Maiden Knight Elf

I had that idea for awhile, but didn't want to ruin it by drawing girls poorly. I think I'm a little better now, even though you're free to disagree if she still doesn't look feminine enough.

I think I came up with that idea because I wanted to break away from the stereotypical appearance of most female characters in video games that don't wear armor, can't lift a sword, can't defend themselves or otherwise appear weak, but at the same time, still have the character "feminine" to some degree--hence the gown. It's probably been done before without my recollecting of it, but this would be my version of it.

I think she's really pretty. She may look a little man-ish though, but is only that her jawline is hard looking, like that of a man, girlies should have a softer jaw.

She looks fabulous. Just enough controlled rage with the touch of the ethereal. You keep it up. Liz.

She looks good, but she does look a little ~too~ masculine, if you want her to look very feminine. The jawline is a little too hard, and the stance is too masculine.

However, if you want her to be a little masculine in her stance, I'd keep the arms the way they are, but cock the hips to a side slightly (we women do that for some reason). And yeah, soften the jawline a little and you'll be good to go.

I think she's quite pretty, and ya the jawline is a little hard but I think that just makes her look like she's very weary and sad. I like the placement of her arms too.
