It's a very good concept, I really like the line work on it. It reminds me slightly of some of the classic Japanese art. Very nice colours. Keep it up!

Yes, the darkness and lightness of the lines and the negative space does make it look calligraphic. You can take that style into a very interesting direction!

It looks like it was done digitally, but I can't be too sure about that. Whatever it is, I really like the texture.

agreed, although the outlines look like ink?

in GIMP, there is the Filters>Noise>Pick filter, if you apply that on a gradient, you would probably get an effect like that. perhaps to a series of pick/blur/pick/blur/pick steps.

the outlines seem to be done with a drawing tablet, with pressure sensitivity set to opacity.

It was Corel Painter 11, and with a mouse. The lines were done with the Inking tool, and also Real Brush tools. The hair I used a lot of the special FX tools, like Hurricane in particular, to get it all mixed up like that, which I originally just did using the Real Brush paint settings and doing a bunch of lines. For those who wanted to know...

Thanks everyone! :D
