Giving credit to Devil's Due, it was good at introducing new characters. Firewall was one of them, from about 2000 or so.
She predates the character of "Abby Sciuto" from NCIS by several years, although one might mistakenly assume that DD was just copying Abby Sciuto's goth punk style for a tech/science nerdette. So. This is bad art from the shoulders down. I'll own it. Sometimes, things just don't coalesce like they're supposed to. The arms look rubbery and the shins are too long. I've learned to sit on artwork and give it another look over after some time has gone by. I finished this piece 7 months ago, and its badness is obvious to me now. With my custom figures, I always post the finished ones even if I'm not happy with them. Like a bad film, sometimes there are things about them that I hope you can find, or at least appreciate. In this case, I'm please with how I lazily just drew one of the pig tails and then posted it in reverse. Last edited by Clockwise; 06-29-2021 at 09:51 PM.. |

I’ll have to look into Firewall more. Think I heard of her before but not familiar with her really at all.
I think there are some good things here, really like the overall body, the limbs and everything look good to me. Think the camo on her pants came out looking great and her glove, pistol and hand holding the laptop all look perfect. Like the pattern on her holster and pouch a lot as well. The pigtail look throws me off a bit but looking her up, that’s the character. So I definitely think you are being hard on yourself with this one, definitely been there with some of my customs and photos as well though. Looking forward to what’s up next!
