Kami refined

What is that feeling? Oh my god... I think it's... my ability to draw! Hmm, it has been a while.
Refining some of the Under the Star designs, including some new ideas because I'm back to planning it as a Fire-Emblem-alike tactical RPG. Yes I am continuing to do lazy flat colours for now; I just hate colouring, it takes so much energy. I will do it eventually, because I need the practice, but right now I'd rather get nice lineart and colour reference finished.
Didn't quite get this finished yesterday, but here she is! Usei Ookami, the closest thing Under the Star has to a female lead. She is not your childhood friend, you will never rescue her from kidnappers, nobody has tried to sexually abuse her, and she couldn't cast a healing spell if her life depended on it. She's confident, decisive, well-balanced, and hopefully really sexy in the scruffiest of ways.
Kami is a bartender, brawler and general shit-stirrer with a strong sense of justice, tempered somewhat by the pragmatism necessary to survive on the Underside. As soon as she has an excuse to cut sick and beat the hell out of some Overworld army types, she will be very pleased indeed. Oh yeah, and her mutated form is a wolf, though she rarely assumes "full" wolf form; she has an unusual talent for partial transformation, which she works into her combat style to great effect.
Compared to her previous design, I "messied" her up a little - tucked-in shirt was practical, but too neat for Kami. I ditched the weird stuff on her arm - it didn't suit her and it was too complicated with her wolf form - and replaced with the shoulder holster, because those are incredibly sexy. She doesn't use guns, but it's really useful when she needs to transform, since it can be worn by her wolf-shape as well. She uses it to carry essentials (like money and a pair of pants :p).
Irrelevant side note: Although they don't look as big as Uroko's, because she actually has the muscle to back them up, Kami is actually also the bustiest member of the cast. Because that's just how I roll, baby. Reishi's might be bigger, under the breastplate, but how would you ever know?
...I know her name is awkward >.<; But it's too late to change it now, god damnit.
