Is the drawing all on one layer?

The clothes, glow effects, and background are separate layers from the figure, but the figure itself was all one layer :3

The reason I ask was because I think the sword could have benefited from being on another layer, since it's noticeably "broken" by the hand holding the blade. The rest of it is elegant and well-done.

What program did you use to make this? It's got that water painted look that just makes me coo...
<---- big fan of traditional artwork

I love the positioning in this piece. It's a pose you don't really see that much, but it's quite something. By proxy, the proportioning is nice: if it weren't, the piece would look a bit strange. Really the only thing I notice is the end of the sword seems a bit too curved... and that's so minute that I didn't even see it the first time I looked at the piece. Also like her clothes... but that's not critique based, that's just me going "I want them!" All in all, lovely. Faved~

I used PaintTool SAI, and the Outline Detail brush from Onta's brush pack for most of it.
I'm aware of the errors with the blade, wanted to do more touchups but that would have taken more time than I allow myself for these Iron Artist pics (1 hour speedpaints). Honestly a lot of these iron artist pics I feel like I want to go back and do more with 'cause I like 'em so much, and this is oe of them :3

Of the recent ones, I've liked this the most. Not sure why XD

Woow she looks very beautiful ^^

Beautiful piece! Love the pose and coloring.
I believe that this character's name is "Tige" though :)
