Damn man. That's nice! The folds on the jeans are great. My only big issue is the mannishness of Dora. Her chest and shoulders are much too large, her face doesn't feel very feminine to me and the size of the upper torso just ruins it for me. It's awesome artwork, that looks like a guy who feels sexy enough to feel his own ass with a smirk.
Terrible nit-pickiness aside, I'm SO gonna go check out your site right now! :D

i have to agree with the above; dora looks hella-mannish... like a butch lesbian. i mean, i guess if that's how you see dora, cool... but it's not very feminine.
the man-ness is coming from all those flat, square lines. curved lines give a much better impression of femininity.
great artwork though!

Dammit, you're right, now that I look at it. That's what I'm saying, in reference to my fan art for Faye, that I just don't have a lot of practice drawing females. I tried softening up her features a little bit (her jaw did seem a bit square); let me know if this is an improvement or not:

I never thought of Dora as a butch lesbian, but she has a cool confidence that I tried to portray here. The big ass-stomping shoes are a throwback to her goth days.

Ehhhhh... Again, really awesome artwork, but yeah, too masculine... Even with the rounded jawline, she still looks way too much like a guy. I wish could I put my finger exactly on what it was so I could help out more, but I can't seem to... Also, I think you went a bit too far with her figure... Yes, there are many references made to how thin she is, but I never pictured her as quite that emaciated. Heh. Might just be me, though... Great job, nonetheless. I find it hard to provide any meaningful criticism to things that I know are far better than anything I could do...
