Peters] to Cobalt Greywalker and see if I'm close?She's very nice Mark, and let me say thank you for putting the time in on her. She also made me go and look at all the manga and the artbook, and compare that to my mental picture of her so I could give proper feedback.
(I mean, the one, useful, reference pic I could find of the source character seems to indicate I'm on the right track.)
The first of the things to change is the colour of the eyes. They look if anything a little too green The eyes are a little too brightly green. I've always described them as Emerald green, but that does seem to be a little too pale and dull a green, depending on the image. Hum... If you can tone the brightness of the green down slightly it would work better.
The second thing is her hair. In the image it's very light at the end. The manga and I have it full all the way down to the small of her back, where it ends in a straight, level cut (something like how a Hime Cut (TVtropes link) ends).
Lastly, she needs to be more upfront (the Being Upfront page has been dead for years, otherwise I'd link it). While most of it is due to pose and clothing, Attim's (and thus A.C.'s) bust is larger than that in the picture. (It doesn't help that Hiroyuki Utatane seemed to increase her bust over the course of the manga, or at random times. The last two volumes are particularly obvious, though that may be down to the 8+ years between vol 9 and 10). She needs at least another cup size, maybe two.
