Description

well decided to take a break from my inking and for some reason it struck me to color this piece which i've had in my backlog files since forever.  so i started. 
initially i wanted to color her hair silver, but blacks, silvers and whites are problamatic and she kinda' ended up looking like a brunette with this color set, which i don't mind.  i think she looks good that way. and though the fire backgrounds are always tedious they always seem to have a nice end result too.  anyways the character here is an oc of :iconthesilentchloey: named chloey the silent, drawn up awhile back by :iconbmesias063:
so hope everyone enjoys! :)

Hmm, the hair seems a bit dark for a Claymore, especially in the front.
Overall composition is pretty solid, the emphasis is definitely where it should be, but the sword and the pose are a little understated-- a lower angle for the sword and more of a tilt to the hips and especially the shoulders would make it more visually interesting. You have good shading technique, but consistent lighting would probably help, especially on the face. I recognize some of Yagi's stylistic elements there, but the eyes look a bit disconnected, as if they were painted over the real face, and the dark shadow is rather odd (lighting consistency again).
I do like the way you rendered the metal elements, and I like the details added to her design-- the skirt, pendant, etc. Also, the texture marks on the limbs and body are really nice.
