Flats - around 1 1/4 hours
Shading - around 1 1/2 hours

Update: 10-08-2007
Fur and gloves shading, added more background noise... and this is about all the time I'm gonna spend on this pic. Good enough for me, but there's this something inside of me that tells me I should've just cel-shaded it.

Update: 10-07-2007
Ominous flame light and reflection, pants cel shading, jacket non-cel shading

***

From now on I'll try to color all my pics (other than Lorelei Comic, maybe) even if I only do flats. I mean, my cartoony non-detailed style is quite ideal for coloring flats onto them. Maybe I'll shade this sometime soon, maybe not...

The fire ain't realistic, but hey, it is stylish AND cartoony, isn't it?

I just added a simple background because white seemed lame at this time.

the pose looks good and the background is very nice. I like it :thumbsup:
try making the edges of the fire blaze's tail wavy and pointy. maybe that would make it look fiercer ;)

Thanks!

I guess I wanted to make the fire not jagged and pointy for once because pointy fire is kinda how it looks in the real world. You should see my "boiling fire" and "droplets of fire" in other pics. :D

Nice work. I'm sad to hear you're off June, but maybe someday you'll come back to her. In any event, Blaze looks great and I can't to see what you do with her next.

This reminds me! Somehow in fighting games it's kinda absurd that characters like Ryu can block pretty much anything by putting both their hands and forearms in front of their faces? :D

Maybe I'll draw a fire pic just for you.

The pose looks great and I really like how you did the coloring ^^. Plus the background looks excellent. It might be a little nicer if you added a little bit of a shadow under Blaze, though. But it looks great as is :D.
