Well, this is the first critique I've given in a good long time, so here goes!
Vision - 4.5/5.0
First off, Ii'd just like to start off with what I usually think to myself whenever I see one of your pieces: "Holy crap." As per your usual, the designs and details are amazing; from the pattern on the grip of Linci's katana, to the feathers of her wings. To say that they are well defined, beautiful, and excellently designed simply does not do the justice I feel this piece deserves, yet they are the highest positive words of judgement that I can express. Bravo, simply bravo.
Originality - 5.0/5.0
It's been a while since I last was on DA to see your art, but never have I known you to plagiarize the works of others. Of course with all artists, inspiration must come from somewhere. But even if you did get the ideas for this piece from others, you always put your own unique spin on it.
Technique - 4.5/5.0
Given what I'm sure has been at least several years of practice, you've refined your own unique artistry within the manga-styled online art world. Your lines are crisp and clean, your shapes are finely shaded and hued, and the effects you have with art is awe-inspiring. The only reason I'm giving Technique a 4.5 out of 5.0 instead of a full rating is because there is no background to give more definition and beauty to this already amazing work of digital art.
Impact 4.0/5.0
Impact, impact, impact. As with all of your pieces, there is always good impact that directly correlates with the Vision aspect of the piece. Again, your pieces always scream skill, beauty, and depending on the character or setting, a general sense of "badassery." I'm going to keep this portion short, because if you were to ask any fan of your work as to what they feel upon for seeing your art, I can almost guarantee that they will say the words "Amazement", "Awe", "Beauty", or "Shock."
End Note
Please, please, PLEASE consider selling your skill to an cartoon animation company, manga producer, or ANYTHING to get your work into the open world! To have your skill grace the world of manga and Japanimation would be a relative blessing from God, or at least for otakus like myself.

An engineer!? What branch???
I'm a high school senior and I'm actually considering on going for a chemical engineering degree. Currently split between Computer.Sci. and Chem.Eng. (Though if I DO end up going with Chem.Eng. I'm going to try to take some Civil Engineering classes on the side.)

So Electrical Engineering? Nano-engineering? Applied Engineering?
Sorry I'm so curious. I'm a big fan of your work, so to know that I'm going into the related study(Although different in quite a few ways) as you has me just slightly excited.

Definitely up to your usual standard. Beautiful character, beautiful work.
With the way she holds her katana's sheath, is she an iado practitioner by any chance?

what an iado practitioner?
π: 0 β©: 1
Iado (and I probably didn't spell the romanji right) is a style of Kenjutsu (the proper name for Japanese sword-fighting, for those who don't know) where the swordman (or woman, in this case) sheaths their sword between strikes, and uses the curvature of their blade to allow them to draw their weapon and strike in the same movement. I believe it was popular among samurai at one point (likely because it fit into the "one cut, one kill" ideal that was important in Japanese swordplay at the time), and the sword style that Kenshin Himura (from the anime series Rorouni Kenshin) uses is based off of it.
Translated into English, Iado means Β "Way of Sword Drawing", or, more literally, "Sword Drawing Way".
Hope that helps, Dragoon.
