For H-Man - Ri-Ge from Hunter in the Fox's Den

Indeed, this is a very nice piece, Xander! I think you've gotten Rika... er, Ri-Ge... down perfectly in this one. My only critique would be that the well could use some more perspective. It looks almost flat on the page, while Ri-Ge has lots of shading to give her more depth.

Your previous Rika drawings have wowed me, but this one really did. I Love it. She looks very beautiful in this picture and the well just goes so well with it. Great Stuff!

That is true and it still bugs me a bit. I'm going to go and try throwing some more highlights and shading onto it later today.

She looks surprisingly pretty here. Good job, Xan.

Funnily enough I was thinking of drawing her like this again, if anything just to make improvements and do more Rika based art, though I'm guessing it'll have to wait until I've done his other request and yours too.

If you draw Ri-Ge again, you should arm her w/ the Chinese kung fu-style claw weapons.

Well I had intended to do something a little different than before, rest assured. I still have the references you sent for the claws too. I'll just need to see how I'm going to have her using them. But that'll come after these requests and a few of my own personal projects are complete.
