did you change it cause i said that thing about her hair cause i didnt mean to make you feel bad or anything about not getting the hair right. although the colors are spot on this time the light blue outfit and purple hair and even the tachi are the right color. that said i did really like the original one. its fun to see artist personal style what i really liked was the purple outfit and the blue hair (ahh blue hair). either way your art is amazing and i love any Major you do in any color scheme you want it all peaches and gravy.

glad you think so, o137o
I am notorious for not being able to leave well enough alone... even though its a fun little doodle, kept noodling with it for a bit when I went in to change her hair color.
btw: why #137?
I love the number 137...
its the double-size issue when "Phoenix Must Die!"
of of my favorite X-Men comics

Yeah that's why I keep all of my artwork, there is always something that I may have not have noticed the first go around that will make something POP a bit more to the eyes.
The number 137 was something I randomly picked as a user name on a social website back in the AOL days and I've learned so many neat things about it that it just kind of stuck. Like being prime numbers, numbers mainly used in witchcraft, it's huge in physics [link]

I am right there with ya... I keep all my artwork as well, Wayne. Haven't learned how to cut the umbilical cord yet. Aside from the occasional convention sketch or commission... I got em all stored in the Fresco Vault.
Lets hear it for random pickings then... very cool. I have had similar experiences... where I picked something totally at random to serve its purpose on a temporary basis... and then it totally stuck. So maybe random is not as random as we like to think it is?

Thank you for the kind words on the pic, NOGISTUNE.
Yeah, her regular stylist was out of town for a guest spot on Project Runway... so different hair and makeup people had to pitch in for this photo shoot.
(that's my story, and I'm sticking to it)

Knowing her, she probably just downloaded an update and was trying out new styles. She is a Cyborg after all

really awesome piece love the tachikoma

Franchesco In reply to Katana2071 [2010-11-13 13:26:47 +0000 UTC]
thanks for the kind words, KATANA
and nope... that would be all me, getting it all wrong
and not by choice really... it's what I get when I don't use reference...
note to self: get reference next time...
thanks again

dont beat ur self up about it it looks great either way and fyi there is an instance where Motoko does have blue hair its when she goes on the net but doesnt want to be recognized.

Good point, Katana... love it when mistakes can be rationalized into becoming non-mistakes, yeah its a word... okay its not... but please look for your "no-prize" to arrive shortly. (comic book inside joke)
Figured a purple haired Ghost in the Shell Gal can't be too bad either... so I updated it for grins and giggles. Thanks again for the heads-up.

haha i literally read this after i posted my last reply so sorry for the katana spam but thanks for the update really its the best "no-prize" i ever won? earned? wearned? idk either way ur welcome i think no no u most def earned this welcome. who knew my useless knowledge would help create an even better/more accurate(jk) masterpiece. so thanks for being an inspiration to me(and def a lot of others) i hope i can be even a tiny iota as good as you and now im going to do a blue haired Major in your honor.[link]
