It's Rachel from Advance Wars DS! That's right, actual Advance Wars fanart, which as far as I can tell is pretty rare. I don't know why, it's a popular enough series... Anyway, hopefully this Rachel picture will help fill the fanart void.

For those who aren't familiar with the series, the missiles in the background are her Super CO Power, in which she calls in three missles from headquarters to deal some damage. Rachel normally seems like an easy-going girl, but when my friend suggested doing that crazy eye-glint assassin thing, it seemed like too good an idea to pass up, even if it didn't seem entirely in character.

Overall, Rachel wasn't much trouble to draw or color, but those missile exhaust clouds were a huge pain. Also, I initially had trouble deciding on a sky color, but when I realized that the picture had lots of white and red, adding blue was the clear choice, since Orange Star is basically the US of Wars World. Now people can't say I've never done a patriotic picture.
