Description
The reason behind this picture is actually because of Arnistotle's APB feather girl .I liked the feather girl so much that I ended up using it as my desktop wallpaper. As a result, however, I ended up drooling so much over the girl that I finally said to myself "Ok, I got to draw my own sexy girl."
So the feel I wanted to convey here is the folowing: deadly, dangerous, cool, in control, sexy, hot, dominating, but not at all raunchy or slutty.
Her name "Miao Er" is given by my wife. Not quite sure why, but the character that is read as "Miao" (stand alone) literally means "Little Girl" or something. I may modify the current design to have the Chinese characters.
I actually have a lot of back story behind her, but sufficient to say for now:
1. Her weapons aren't limited to just the dagger/kunai and sword.
2. You can see ribbons attached to both the dagger/kunai and sword. She controls these weapons using the ribbons as if they're "rope darts." (Look it up in Google if you're curious).
3. Her dress is really just one piece of fabric wrapped around her. It's such that at the pull of two strings, her dress will be undone. (There's a back story behind it).
4. She's not wearing commonly known underwear, so what you see as her underwear - they're not. What they reallly are has to do with the back story again.
5. The Chinese loves gold and red. She's supposed to be Chinese, hence the color theme.
Finally, this is my submission for the 100 art challenge "Are You Challenging Me?"

Thanks
I actually "cheated" a little on the pose...
I looked up lots and lots of real "Wu Shu" fighting stances, artwork from fighting games, and even got a 3DMax human female framework (skeleton) to get the pose just right. Even then, I had to adjust a lot of things after the initial sketch x.x;;;
Initially, I wanted a pose that makes an "X" on the page, but I couldn't get any pose that I like that forms an "X" without looking too awkward/weird/unnatural...

Yeah... I suppose.
I used to think that people were simply naturally talented and can "see" the poses, clothes, etc. without reference x.x;;;; I still think some people can, but my wife finally convinced me that at least *I* need to use references... So I gave in and did.
Your siggy... I think I may take you up on that Watching~
