Curious...could I...
...dust off the old comic book formula, but do it with MS Paint?

Kind of reminds me of something you'd see when you toke up.

She's, like, shooting energy out of her arm exoskeletons. She could be flying... I'm not good at drawing feet.

Flint, you should write a webcomic. I'm serious, gain a little popularity and you could start selling T-shirts and finally quit this whole drumming dayjob.

Oh, OK, those are exoskeletons.

How do you explain the other body parts??

Good question. If it helps explain, this is how the drawing started.
I placed those two central spheres, and built around them. Priorities.

Not bad, but her head and left breast seem to be the same size .


Oh, and hair would make this better, if you cared for my opinion.

"Finish by adding details."? Well, that's the whole trick, isn't it?

Bah...I tried to do a flailing braid-hawk, but I just can't find a way to put hair on her without covering up my beautiful work. I'd have to consult Rob Liefeld's many examples of how-to-put-an-outrageous-flying-ponytail-with-a-mind-of-its-own-on-a-ridiculously-proportioned-physique.

She's bald. Edit: Or she's a naked black chick with a shaved head. Take your pick. I tried to tone down the freakish arm-length, too...
