    Hahahaha I think that one was much closer to your vision. I think the eyes are the key for this particular character, in my limited knowledge of her.

    Wait as you think you did a bad job? I don't understand what you mean?

    Sorry, no, not bad. I think that the first comparison we had was somewhat different, while the second one seemed a lot more along the same train of thought.

    And by the statement about eyes, I mean simply that if "eyes are the window to the soul," then the character you described would have very telling eyes in my mind. I see that in both pictures.

    Apologies for the confusion.

    Actually I had the reverse opinion. I felt the first one was spot on. The second was close but Elizabeth is tall and described as actually kind of thick or at least that is how I picture her. Your reference wasn't full body but she seemed to thin, but again, not that you could predict that from the description.

    Though if you are 1-1. Want to try one more for a tie breaker?

    Okay. This one is the crazy one.

    She is young, 20's. By crazy I have a story of her on here if you want extra information on her badass-ness.
    https://www.writingforums.org/threads/the-order-emilys-rampage.140830/

    To give the highlights. She has once tossed a parashute out a plane and then jumped off to chase it. No reason, she just thought that was fun. She has also been in a bar before and she murdered a man while kissing him. Again, why not? She is not a completely psycho. She probably had a reason. Probably something silly, like him being a jerk. Another perfect example. She was once sent to rescue a man and he resisted her advice. She pulled a gun on him. He questioned the obvious thing about how her mission is to save him. She replied with this.

    "My mission is that you live, not how many pieces you are in afterwords," she places the gun against his knee. "Don't make me tempted to hear your scream."

    Though to really give you the idea of her. Let me say this.

    "I am a genius, that mean I accept the possible that I can fail and have fifteen ways to counter that possibility already in mind. So if you getting past what you see on the surface is all there is to do. You got over a dozen surprises waiting for you."

    So, what do you think? Any questions?

    Your image reminds me of a drawing I did over 10 years ago - Obviously lower quality, I was only a sproglet back then haha

    Here's a crappy sketch I did just now.

    Agatha and Jillian, opposites in many ways, but somehow no one is ever surprised to learn that they're related.

    I'll see if I can't find any of my real drawings.

    In the blue dress? Alptraumkatze!

    Actually all these characters you are to some degree familiar with. Because the girl with the sniper rifle is Emily in her suit! And the guy is the assassin that promised to train her in the rampage. And given that much information. I bet you can guess who the last girl is. :D

    No, no, lol I meant the guy. I just didn't put it together who he was. But, yeah, I did know the other three immediately. Have you any art for Sky yet? I have an image in my head of her and there's no rhyme or reason to why she looks that way, but I'm curious what her actual appearance is.

    Ah.

    It is funny how all my work connects. That guys is in Valorie' book. Chapter 6 currently. lol.

    Nope, no art of Sky yet. I have an artist lined up though. So Sky will probably be done at the end of April or the beginning of May.

    Though the artist doing Ivy said they should have a sketch ready by next week! :D Ivy is one of Sky's friends. Sort of. They kind of hate each other but they both work for the Alpha. lol

    Oh I am rambling again aren't I? Sorry.

    Yesssss. I wish I could draw... I might go through my old notebooks and see if I can dig something up, although it is on lined paper.
    Remind me who this is, I do remember you speaking of her in the past... I just can't place a name.

    Actually I doubt I ever brought her up. Her name is Hazel. She is a military doctor that joined the task force division.

    So basically, she is now a super cop. If a person breaks the law with magic and is too tough for the police, they call the task force and the task force divion sends a team. Usually teams of five.

    Hazel is the assistant captain of Katrina's Task Force. Her most notable trait is her "Sheer Force Defense" in which she empowers her body to withstand damage. Her body becomes so strong defensively, she could withstand a full clip of a boat mounted 50 cal machine gun. Granted, that would probably still hurt like a lot. Especially given that energy is drained away with each blocked attack. So by the end of the clip she might be bleeding, but unlikely would it be life threatening.

    Her full team is(greatest to weakest)
    Katrina
    Hazel
    Roxy
    Aiden
    Danny

    Does that answer your question? :)

    Right Here.

    B'leve me sweetheart... if I could draw as well as I'd like to, I would have littered this thread with a dozen or two drawings. As it is, I can't. :( But I'm workin' on it! I have said for decades I wish I could draw well enough to satisfactorily draw my characters. I just got loaded with the last straw late last year and I'm sitting my pink lil bum down and drawing every day now. I'm getting better, but still a loooooong way to go.

    hell, I've even got a dozen or two drawings/poses/portraits ready to go in my head.
