BOMBER GIRL GILL

So here's the painted version of the pencil drawing I posted before. While painting it up, I was scratching my head as to what to do as a background, and then the pose reminded me of the girls you would see painted on the sides of bombers during World War 2. So I added the plate metal texture and scratches on top. A bit of lighting, et voila! GILL BOMBER GIRL!

And here is the result.
