This is is quite good and I adore the ref image since not many people tend to do cosplays based on famous artwork 5/5.
If it's not much trouble mind rate back? - Report As Spam

And a hand item that is a glowy orb like what she has in the image flat out doesn't exist.
As for the skirt being made of gas, I find it a bit tragic that people can't suspend their image of what the item is "supposed" to be and see that it looks the most like the image of all the components on there. It's what inspired the whole thing. - Report As Spam

- Yes, there is a reve background would have looked nice, but frankly it isn't really that accurate to the image either. It would have put that color filter to dull down the pink, but added a lot of background noise that makes it look less like the actual image. And since the reve has been ignored in the evolution cycles, it's just not finishing, and I can't justify buying a second later gen EI for one use that doesn't really improve the avatar.
