New gun is definitely better! I like how you merged the idea of geta shoes with her platform boots. The whispy green glow helps a lot too! Keep it up!
Definitely grabbing the popcorn for this one 
I too find the platform boots a little odd, but that's me. II think it's because they're visually distracting, they have a lot of detail and extra shapes in comparison to the legs in general, so it pulls your eye towards it. (Also the reflections of the gold will be enough to distract the eye to the torso and head though so should look alright in the end?)
This is awesome, I love the concept and the face so far looks fantastic, can't wait to see more!
@blair Cheers, thanks Blair! : )
really cool design man ! great work ! 
Love the direction on the paintover! Pumped to see this finished.
Great! I like how the hair can add some dynamics to the final presentation.

@Seimax @haZe @engcenti Thanks guys!
Wow it has been awhile, 20 days! Long absence from working on this character due to work, but I'm finally back at it. Really taking my time to flesh out the design and blockout before I get into sculpting details.
Some personal notes:
- Went with facepaint H, while altering it slightly using Kabuki references.
- Keeping the 3D execution fairly stylized. Cleaner shapes, less micro detail.
- Current hair is a placeholder, will be adding her golden locks next as I figure out what is the best hair pose to get it rigged for posing later.
-Most likely going to blockout all the hardsurface stuff next (gun, pipe). Ugh. Need to get it out of the way.
Sexy character 
Really loving the flow of everything. Colors are great and hair as it is now is cool to me. The face paint looks great as well. Keep up the awesome work there. This has really been taking shape. 
Saw her on twitter earlier today man, she looks awesome 
Can't wait to see more!
Oooohhhhh boy it looks great haha, welcome back!
Looking really cool, awesome design!
I love her! She looks super awesome. Great job! 
looks awesommmmmmme! love her face and hair =DD cant wait to see more!!
wow ^^ cant wait to see this one finished 10 out of 10!
Thanks everyone! Work has been real busy but I'll see to it I get this done on time.
Wicked! She's fabulous I don't think I could walk a step in those platform shoes but she looks like she rocks them.

I love it!, I just feel uncomfortable looking at those high heels 
(but they look good tho). I love the colors and the "war paint" on her face looks really classy. Can't wait to watch the final image!
Thank you! Those heels are definitely not practical, but rather more idealized. Yet it amazes me how in reality, much larger oversized heels are still featured in Japanese culture and performances.
Update on a more polished sculpt.
Aiming for cleaner curves rather than finer details for the character. I'll add the patterns on her wear during texturing later.
Worked on her rear side, including the two Katanas
After getting positive feedback from my rougher hair blockout as it was, I decided to roll without the golden hairlocks I originally had in my concept. I added more gold to other parts of her gear instead.
Her gun is coming soon next!
