This is a screen shot I grabbed from episode 4 of Blood+ and traced. Does this need anything? If so, what?

She's a lovely girl. ^_^ First time hearing about "Blood+"...
The background is a great touch, although I tend to gear away from predominantly grey images. Very nice, nonetheless.

How's it look with the blood splatters?

[Lucidian Dyne]

Okay, now that is something that gets my attention. It's the whole word-image relation thing going on. Sweetness to the extreme. ^_^

If you're going to stick to the blood concept, I really suggest you add drip the the stains, like how blood really is ya know? They jut dont blotch, they drip and run all down the wall and stuff!! >=D BUAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*cough* Anyways...composture... Moving on. In my opinion the stock is too "soft" for the blood notion. The colors are just too...I dunno. Innocent? And her expression. Those eyes!! She needs more shadows, and detail. Maybe to make it seem like, "What in the feck did I just do?!" or if you can photo manip it well enough, make her seem content. Although she doesn't really look like a mass murderer....

I forgot to mention with the blodd, you need differing shades, like some spots are lighter, and others darker. Blood is also darkest in the center and gets a tad lighter from there on out. =D

Hope this helps.
