Lookie lookie! It took me less longer than expected, nostly because I've been procrastinating on studying! and there wasn't too terribly much stuff left to do, or at least thus far. And I know, I'm sorry, again it is taken with a really old digi camera who has very little life left in him. Hopefully I shall some day have a better version for you all to look at, but for now, this will have to suffice.
I must say, this is my best marker piece to date, or so I think so, and probably the best lineart too! I guess it really does help to be inspired by a better artist, eh?

So anyways, please tell me what you think, especially if you see anything that ought to have a little more time spent on it. Also, I really want to know if I should leave the background plain as is, or do something to it. I did mess around a bit with the sat. in photoshop to make the background seem more parchement like, but I donno if I was all that successful. If anyone has some sorta tips on that sorta thing, it would be lovely!

Anyways, hope you like it, and I hope that you will leave comments and critiques!

See? I really have been working, ever so slowly, on it!
I'm terribly sorry for the bad quality of the jpg...it is a picture taken with a very very old digital camera in bad lighting, but I figured something is better than nothing, right?

At least you can see my progress, right? Well, sorta...it looks a lot better in real life...I'm really happy with how the hair is turning out, and I'll probably apply this new style to more pics, although it takes ten times as long, hahah!

Anyways, as I said beforehand, I'm trying to go for somewhat of a style by being all detailed and whatnot, but Mae is still my character! I hope you all like her, I'm sure you'll be seeing more of her, heheh!

Do you think this pic should have a background color, like a light blue or something? I will be doing some slight color changes to the wind as well as the clothes and skin tone. Pretty much the hair is the only thing that I think is completed yet, and I might still go back and work on it!

Anyways, I'd love any comments or critiques, especially I'd like some advise about whether I should do a background or not!
