There's a character from the Queens Blade named Cattleya... She's a mother who was once an adventurer, but settled down and opened up a weapon shop with her husband. One day her husband disappears, so she fights to find him (with her shota-bait son in tow), using both a humongous sword called the Giant Killer and a spear called the Almighty Javelin. I like the concept and outfit she wears, but not the actual artwork of her. I don't know, I just find it un-good. I actually messed up a lot of the details of the outfit, but oh well. Also I don't have a straight-edge so the javelin pole looks fucked. =( And I didn't really do anything interesting otherwise... Aaaaah, enough negativity from me!!

This would be the Char-style "Scorching Red" color scheme for Cattleya. I found it while looking for pictures of her--apparently they're putting out resin-cast figures of her with her normal color scheme and the Giant Killer sword, and this one with the javelin as a limited edition figure, both coming out in February '08.

This is incidentally the first picture I've done with actual marker paper. I didn't believe it was bleed-proof until I actually used it because it was so thin. I felt like it would fall apart in my hands D:

Apropos of nothing, I'm thinking of writing my name in hiragana from now on. It lends itself better to a calligraphy/brush-tip pen or marker.
