Concept Image - Second Attempt
OK people, here’s the re-engineered image of Anaksha, and as you can see she is looking a HELL of a lot better!
I think I’ve pretty much nailed it! What do you think?
This image is actually how I originally imagined her (which is why I was so determined to re-draw her instead of just using the old drawings). The only thing I might go back to is her old hair-style, or I might just keep her new one. I don’t know - I’ll see how it goes.
The Virgo tattoo is also gonna be simplified, along with lots of other things to keep the drawing time to a minimum.
Another issue I have is her “chest” size. 
I’m having trouble deciding whether they’re slightly too big, or just the right size (yes you can go ahead and stare - I’m sure she won’t mind!! ). Although one thing I’m not gonna do is make ‘em larger cos I think it’d just make her look slutty like a lot of typical comic book characters, which is not the kind of image I’m going for here. In my opinion, sexiness is defined by style and class not sleaze. Whenever you see female lead characters in comic books, they always draw them with ridiculously huge breasts. Personally I think they’d look so much better with a normal sized bust, but hey that’s just me. I’ll shut up now!
Anyway, as always I’d love to hear your opinions on everything.

First off, it looks marvelous. I especially like the new hair style. In comparison, this version is much better. Second, the “chest” area looks fine. I do have to agree with you with the comic book cliché problem, but hers look fine.
Nailed it. Looks different enough from the first game to distinguish, but not too different, so much that I hate it. I think it’s perfect.
Her new style, it makes her look more intense, like the 2 above have already taken the words out of my mouth, I’m just adding another word.
I’ve got nothing more to say then what is already said. It looks good.
I love this. And coming from a female who plays videogames, I love how “normal” she looks. Not overly sexed-out, but a still complete badass. I love the storyline in the first one too. Hopefully that will still be a huge factor in the 2nd instead of just another shoot ‘em up game.
Excellent! She doesn’t look slutty or overly exagerated, she looks strong and perfect for what she is intended to represent. Very beautiful, but a true angel of dark justice. The game was excellent, mostly due to its story and music, but I also enjoyed the graphic killing. It was also far from pointless blood-shed. Congrats! Looking forward to the second one!!!

OMG that’s so freaky! You’ve ALMOST guessed the title and one of the taglines for the sequel!! LOL
You’ll see when I release the project name later on this month. Anyway, well done!

Honestly, i think that her chest should be a TINY bit bigger. but other than that, a beautiful model for concept art. I loved the first game, and i can’t WAIT for the sequel.
That is great, also i seem to recall you mentioning to let you know about any ideas for the game.
Especially toi get over the people who thought the game was Feministic to the extreme, i thought it’d be a nice touch to add a boyfriend into the mix-a psychopathic one at that =D
Thanks for reading,

Anaksha looks great but I find that her breast can be reduced a little. They give her too much of a sleazy Lara Croft look. Her bust seems just a little out of proportion with her waist but that’s just my opinion I may be wrong.
See looks wonderful. I was wondering what you had in mind for simplifying the tattoo? I agree with Atropos, and you should reduce the size of her breasts a bit.
yeah smaller breasts and you should keep the trench coat she had in the first game cause that was totally badass also just a though try to put in a system of rifle upgrades or changes like tactical assassin 2
Really awesome look. On the bust issue I must say that smaller would fit her profile on her, plus I hate the large bust size that every female in game land has. Your game is unique, make sure she is too.
the breast should be reduced if u ceep the shirt like that if you make the shirt more revealing make them a little bigger
Looking good! But go with the original hair and get rid of the forehead tattoo. As for the boobs… Leave them or make them a little bigger.
Looking good! But get rid of the thing on her forehead and go back to the original hair please. And for the “chest” A little bigger or the same they are now.
Cool. As Jeff and Mack said…I’m pretty much thinking the same exact thing. Can’t wait for the sequal.
She looks badass! And don’t worry about her breasts. I believe they’re at that perfect-y way, where she won’t be like other women in comic books.
Kickin’ ass there Anaksha!
I like the new hair, less stringy than the old hair, and yes, the chest is fine! I could do without the tattoo on her forehead, as it kinda takes away from the face itself… but overall, she looks great!
