Jen Holiday - Cyborg Girl

The character was drawn for a character art contest based on a written description (see below). I'm sure I could have ranked near the top, if it wasn't for the fact the organizer of the contest decided to pack up and quit without letting anyone know! Being a cynic, I'm guessing the guy gathered up all our submissions then decided to make use of them without awarding the promised prizes Everyone who entered tried very hard and produced some great stuff from what I could see, so it was a shame.

The original brief I gathered inspiration from:
"The Character-
Her name is "Jennifer Holiday" with a deep, thoughtful, but not mean, attitude... be sure to incorporate this into the pic. Like have her in a cave looking at herself in a puddle, or in a forest touching a tree ... you get the point.
Style- anime... I don't mind western influences or artsy stuff like that as long as you can clearly see the anime aspect, i don't care what style you use... except chibi... i want a real character pic.
Her features-
she has long hair... about to the back of her elbows. her hair is pitch black with streaks of whatever color you think would work. She has Blue eyes (they should be intense and thoughtful) and should be about 5'11" and weigh about 115-120lbs. Her clothes should be futuristic. she's from the year 3000-ish so dress her accordingly. She is the gunner on a ship called the "Crimson Dawn" so a ship uniform will do also. Also she loves the gym so her body should be jaw dropping.. don't skimp on the boobies.. Now we get into the Tricky stuff... Her forearms (from fingertips to elbow) are totally robotic/mechanic. she had her arms chopped off... (long story) anyway they look totally robotic so don't try to draw them like little buttons and doohickies on a normal looking arm.. i wanna see wires and plating and junk... kinda like the witchblade but robotic, also the metal used to make her arms is black... that's about all the specifications i have.
General stuff-
Her attitude is thoughtful, not stupid. she's a fairly intelligent individual so don't draw her as some dumbass humming barney songs in a straight jacket with a big "L" on her forehead. Also small tatts are optional but a plus... nothing naughty, just like a rabbit, or butterfly or heart... something girly. Also the pic must be CG'ed, i don't care if someone else CG's it for you but the money will only be awarded to the penciller/inker... then he can send half to the CG artist.. or whatever you work out."

The contest was later judged by my a forum member just for fun and I was awarded 3rd place

I'm going to have to clarify that D.magic is one half of me who vanished when I gained a lust for evil.(and hentai)

D.magic is dead by the way, I killed him. To be exact I ripped his soul out and turned it into a Nameless entity that now wanders around in my soul. If you dont believe me why will he never answer this.

you know tony I think your absolutely correct about the nipples but not the inner beauty.

Pfft. Tony, are you suggesting a character with small breasts has no inner beauty? Oh dear.

Are you sure you are not having a bad perspective day?

Ben please, your readers are telling you that the nipples are bad, but they actually make the caracters even better, and the breast need to be intense to find the beauty within, I personally think that this is one of your best work, congrats.

The cool colors in the suit all look very nice - your rendering is very accurate. I can tell what the fabrics are. Nice hair... but the nipples might be a bit much. Plus the fact that with the jacket she has on, her boobs look gigantic, and the impression is given that her bust is too large to fit in the jacket! Heh. Good pose though.
