May's Official Technodrome Artjitsu!!!

[Kali]

Okay, I finished (actually, I was finished awhile ago, but there was this messy radiation thing I had to deal with) my entry/swap pic, Blades. I tried an action pose, I really did, but settled on an attitude one instead. She's supposed to be on a park bench, but we all know how I am with backgrounds and props...

I tried to accomplish this with the overall style of the picture. Instead of clean inking (*snort* Like I'm capable of that.) and color, I went for a mixture of color and pencil shading. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping it works on some level of art.
