Just because she's a princess...
Doesn't mean she'll go without a fight

So this is one of my favorite drawings :) I relied a lot on references for the pose and outfit, but the hairstyle and expression were of my own creation.

Wow, I like this a lot! It looks kind of like stuff I used to draw, only better. :mrgreen: THe hair is especially good. I'm a terrible art critic so I shan't attempt to review it. Very nice!

With all the force of a great typhoon,
With all the strength of a raging fire,
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.

This is cool :)

I really like the way her dress and the bow look. It's all very sharp.

This is the kind of thing that makes me mutter to myself bitterly, as I have no artistic skills.

I like the idea behind this as well. It's so... I don't know, just ausome.

This is wicked cool! The linework is very crisp, and it has a slight manga influence to it, but mixed with your own style. It looks very professional. I agree with Warrior Princess: the hair is really good.
I also like the little header you included-

This was great. Truly it is amazing! I love the hair and the facial expression. The whole look of her is well-done. The message is great too; it is uplifting. Great job!

This is crazy good! I love her posture and hair and the details on the bow. It does look alot like manga, which I've recently picked up myself. The lines are so clean and the whole picture flows so well I just love it!
This is just my opinion but I think maybe her face should have a bit of a more determined expression? Like she's actually fighting? But it's your drawing, not mine ;)
Keep up the awesome work!

xXTheBlackSheepXx,

There's only two things that I don't really like about this...
The first is her forehead - or lack there of. It just seems as if her nose continues into her hairline.
The second is her right arm. For some reason my brain tells me that it's at an unnatural angle. I think that her upper arm is too short but perhaps I'm just overly tired...

Now on to the good stuff! ^-^

Her hair is absolutely gorgeous! I have never been able to draw hair like that, but have always wanted to. (I really suck at hair...)
Her dress is so detailed, so flowing. Beautiful.
I like the fact that it has a definite manga-like quality to it; mixed with your own style, of course.
Her bow and arrow are so precise and sharp! I'm impressed by it greatly.

One last thought: This could be so much more beautiful with some good shading - not that I'm one to talk. I can see that that was not the point of this though - it was an ink drawing. Again, very beautiful. I love it!

I have to admit this is awesome. Great job your lines are very clean and neat. I really don't have much to say but here it goes anyway.

1. The hair is fantastic but for the face pales in comparison. The shape of the nose and brow are not right and are to flat.

2. The arm seems twisted at a funny angle but i have a feeling that's just me. Also the breasts seem out of proportion to her body but this really isn't a big deal unless you want it to be super accurate.

Whoa, you drew this? This is amazing. Everything is great about this. The hair is perfect. It's neat and messy at the same time and you drew it perfect. How the sun is hitting you drew that right. The bow looks so elegant and deadly at the same time. She looks like such a real person, you my friend are an amazing artist. I'm so jealous. Keep drawing.

Did you seriously draw that? or did you trace the latter? I really like it.

This is interesting. I can't really crit on anything specific, because it is unlinke almost anything I have seen before. It is completely new, but it makes complete sense, which is probably why it is so great. So overall, good job, and good job taking risks with style.
