(NSFW) "Tetsuko's Odyssey" OSS

(OSS= "Obligatory Shower Scene")

This is the second panel of the first page of the first issue of Tetsuko's Odyssey, the big Tetsuko/Red the Paladin crossover I've been somewhat obsessing over for the past few months.

The whole page is almost finished*, but I was so proud of the way this panel turned out I decided to share it with you. Water is one of the trickiest elements for me to render in an illustration like this, and while I feel I still have lots of improvement to make, I think I did a pretty good job on this.

It's also good practice for the rest of the saga, because this will be far from the only "shower scene" in the series. (Although maybe they ought to be referred to as "waterfall scenes", since that's where our characters will be doing their bathing, there being no showers as such back in Red's era...)

*I just noticed (after I saved out a JPEG of this panel, natch), that I need to add a little more shading to her hair to make it look even more wet. Once I do that, then the page will be finished! I think...

UPDATE: Didn't take as long to finish the hair as I thought. And I also added a shadow to the shower floor. Now it's finished! (And I added the pic as an attachment.)
