@Naji I feel like I've been over aa-ing in past, so decided to not use many single pixels. avoiding AA as much as possible (more so on the newest piece), going from one extreme to another hoping to reach balance. :- )

would have loved to see some AA but it still turned out really nice

waaaa so cute ^^

I like detail present in the lighting and the background. The character is also solid, as is the composition.

Thanks, glad you like it :- )

FINALLY, yes!

The star pendant was your idea actually! :- )

Thanks.

ARRGHGHJSGH This is so ridiculously lovely O_O

Finally.

I am very happy how this worked out. Not as great as I would have pixeled it of course (praise the master - everyone got that reference? :D ).

The misty clouds are creating a mystical atmosphere emphasizing on the mystical snow falling from clear sky. Combined with the female soldier in the middle of nowhere. Let us take a look at her eye staring up towards the misty clouds. Does she know why this happens?

Whoever had the great idea of this star pendant hanging from her weapon is a genius! It adds up to her character and performs very well while being just a small part of this piece. Well done!

Overall... this piece is lovely!

Haha now let us be serious: I am happy to see your work again, good job, Steva!
