Been a while since I last posted anything.

Started as a pencil doodle.

Coloured in Photoshop.

A lot has been changed since the original pencil drawing, for the better of for the worse, I have no idea.
This would be considered finished, but it wouldn't hurt if you have any suggestions for possible improvements or tweaks to the pic.

I think they are both nice, but the sketch has more... character

i like it, i like it a lot. i think it would be better if she was holding on tighter with her right hand though.

WOoooow

Will she be a playable character in the newest Street Fighter game?

I think Ken is right though, the bat looks like it's just kinda sitting on her shoulder instead of her holding it

I saved them both

looks like the bat has more weight in the scketch which is nice, also I reall like the bag hanging off the bat in the scketch for some reason, other than that I reall like the painting, cool work

Much thanks to all.

The bat is suppose to rest on her shoulder,
I changed it from the initial sketch cos it
looked kinda stupid hovering above her shoulder.

Hmm, Duncan, I have to agree with you on
that one, I feel that sketches seem to
have more life than a finalized piece of
work.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.
probably many people here agree

wow that is a great pic. creepy, but very well done. i love the style in particular. yeah sketches look livelier cause you got all those stray lines which give it this energized look. i think thats why comicbook people add all that detail ^^

You've gotta wonder under what circumstances a house-maid would be holding a bloody baseball bat, but hey

That's a very cute alternative-style pic. Love her cute face and the outfit. I reckon it would look even better if you check out any tutorials about good techniques for rendering hair in colour.

Work on rendering hair, check.
Much thanks.

Actually, I can think of a rather huge number of possible scenarios that would result in a house maid with a bloodied baseball bat, from unwanted relatives to door to door salespeople to certain religious organisations and beyond.

I wasn't sure what to expect given the title of this thread

But, I like this a lot. Nice blend of creepiness and cuteness. She can smash my skull with a baseball bat anytime!
