Ok, here goes.
This is part of a commission for Tobias, who wanted a character sheet of Krystal to help artists draw her more accurately. I say part because this is part of what will be the completed image. I'm posting this part now so it's up in time for Anthrocon. It's still useful, if incomplete.
I've spent many, many hours looking at renders, screenshots, and in-game videos to get every detail on this sheet as accurate as I possibly can. Of course, we all know how I feel about the quality of the renders and her in-game model in general. Some things were ambiguous and I went with what I felt was most probable and what looked best. The only thing I intentionally changed in this drawing are her spiral thigh tattoos - I closed them to form circles instead of leaving them open. I felt that they looked asymmetrical on her renders and closing the spiral went a long way towards helping that. Everything else is as presented in the game and official art.
Crits are discouraged not because I'm trying to squelch commenting (no, please leave comments), but because there are some things in this drawing that I know people are going to pick at and complain about. Yes, I wanted to make her short and kind of stocky. Yes, she is proportionate. I know this because I drew her nude before adding her clothing specifically to make sure that it's correct. I'm pretty confident about the quality of the drawing and the accuracy.
I'm debating wether to attack the original with markers and sell it with a signed print. We'll see. Speaking of prints, an 8.5x11 of this is $10, $13 if the shipping address is outside of the US or canada.
Ink on cardstock, OC 3 for color, Photoshop 7 for touchups and layout.

"because there are some things in this drawing that I know people are going to pick at and complain about."
Can you please read the description?
I can understand mentioning something but it's very frustrating and discouraging when people totally ignore everything good about a picture and focus on minor flaws within it. I wrote what I did in the description because *I KNOW* there are things in it that people aren't going to like and that people are going to bitch about while ignoring the good acpects of the drawing. Why work hard on a picture at all when you know that you're just going to get complaints for it?

I felt I had to make my point clear being as you sounded like you were posting as the be-all-end-all character sheet for Krystal...
Sorry, but I like this character, and that's how I feel about it.
Plus, if i've learnt anything in my time as an artist, you cant just tell people not to critisize you yet expect comments.
(My appologies if i'm being rude, but I havent exactly been in the best of moods...)

I'm sorry for snapping at you. Every step of the way people have complained about something in this picture. I've gotten into some pretty heated and extremely nasty arguments about it before it was even colored because people wanted things changed and it was always something different. I almost stopped doing it at one point because I was so tired of people bitching at me about it. The only thing that kept me doing it was that it was a commission and I was obligated to finish.
You can imagine that it's kind of crushing to finish it, post it, and then start getting complaints all over again. I usually welcome critique but this particular piece has worn my nerves down to the wire simply because of constant complaining through the entire process of doing it. I didn't mean to attack you personally and I am sorry for how I responded to you. Your comment just happened to be the one that made me snap.

Unfortunately the life of an artist is never easy... =/ Nothing but critisism or utter invisability for those with talent, and more often than not compulsive praise for those that are undeserving.
Critisism can show you are on the right track, because it means it affected someone in some way, be it positive or negative... And isnt the goal of an artist to affect those around them with they're work?
At any rate, i'm sorry if I kinda snapped at you aswell... i'm especially cranky today due to a cold... Believe me, your not the only one I've chewed out today.. =/

GAH! I love how thick she looks here..but so cute ! ^^ Its nice to see her in something other than blatant Pr0n. Now i can definately appreciate the design. Looks like you spared no effort as well, From the small higlights on the staff's forgery to the intricate designs on her armour, you really went all out =) I'd say someone really got thier moneys worth. i can definately tell the work you put in, and it yields awesome results =)
