Description
It's been a very hectic week this past one and I haven't really had the time to relax and enjoy myself as I did with the last piece I showed you all; that is, until last night when I got a breath of fresh air and finished a present I did for the most excellent Bill Maus.~billmausart was very kind to write the Foreword for mt graphic novel UTOPIA, and so I really wanted to pay homage to his most renowned creation, Nira-X ([link] [link] ).
As I think I told Bill himself, when I showed him my interpretation of his character, I didn't have the chance to read her stories as much as I would've wanted, due to my country not shipping a lot of small press comics, but what I did see encouraged me to look forward into a future that had me working as an artist.
I grew up with the whole mid-nineties wave of comics, and Nira was a part of it, reminding many of us aspiring artists and dreamers that you could make yourself a place amongst the big names if you worked hard enough on your skills. So, a salute goes to Bill for inspiring and supporting me. Be sure to check out his Gallery!
As far as the image is concerned, whilst I tried to stay as true to the original as I could, i also wanted to try some of my new markers and also add that bit of "me" into it, which I think I managed to do decently. You'll be the judges, as usual and I hope you enjoy it!

I went to the links that you provided, and although Nira's creator's style of art really isn't to my liking, I can still appreciate the art in it, and I think you have done his creation a lot of justice.
The facial expressions are classic. Good work! Worthy of a fav!

Thank you very much, my friend! It is a great thing to know that even though you don't like certain art styles, you still can be objective enough as to give them due credit as art; there's not many folks who can separate their personal feelings from what they're watching.
I'm glad I could make the character justice and I hope I can take the time to fo some more work on other ilustrations I have laying around in queue that I'm sure you'll enjoy

All due props to Bill, Nic, but I'd look at your stuff over his any day. Of course, whether you can spin as good a story remains to be seen. Still got my PayPal button poised to get my eager mitts on Utopia!

Thank you, my friend! It's truly and honour to hear that you'd prefer my artwork on Nira over Bill's, but I believe that each has his own flavour to t, which makes them interesting in their own rights. Perhaps mine can serve certain kind of stories, and his another.
It's awesome that you'd be hooked with mine, though
And UTOPIA will be released before this month is over, so hang in there, and news will be arriving soon!

Just wanted to chime in and say what a beautiful piece this is
Take care m'friend!

YES! That's all I needed to hear, Bill! Compliments on this work from the creator of Nira himself are all that I needed to hear to be completely fulfilled with it. I hope I can revisit her in the not-too-distant future and thanks again for the support, mate.

Lovely as always! I wish I had your colouring talent.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you Ana! It's still somewhat unbeliebavle to me to be complimented on my colouring, since it's an area of my art I'm still not very comfortable with. But encouragement is certainly appreciated and mkes me think better of it!

Can't really give any critique on you work. It's already so awesome. You're welcome.

Thank you, Joseph! Actually, her guns were something I wanted to give an edge to; they're meant to be projected by her own body in the form of physical energy, so I wanted to have them somewhat resembling that. I'm happy that I managed to do a good job and catch you eye...

I kind of figured they were composed of energy. The idea that they're manifested by her own body is a very cool one.

It seems like every time you post something you have gotten a little bit better. Great stuff meng!
