Tarisa-Tarix Inspired Sketch

Tarisa, another pen sketch from 2009, inspired from Tarix's design. 
I added her to a nice watery scene (right), but her pose seemed so stiff and hieroglyphic that it felt like she needed something to balance that factor out. That's why I added a flowing blue cloth she holds in her hands. I figure Tarisa likes to practice movement in water with the factor of drag as part of strength training. 
The original pen sketch (right), colored version (left). Before I added color to the piece, I assumed this sketch must be a male character, but after adding color and detail, I noticed it looked much more feminine, especially the small middle, so I named her Tarisa, a female based off of Tarix.
