Okay, I did fanart of anime series Strike witches.
The series is about 11 girls who fight against some weird monsters in the sky. They fly using "striker unit" (the metal stuff attached to their legs). Then they shoot the enemies down with different weapons.
What really bothers me is the amount of fanservice. You know, the girls never wear any pants! I guess this is because some pervs want to see the girls' panties all the time. Of course they go to beach in one episode (lots of bikini shots) and the girls take a bath in like every other episode or have their clothes ripped for one reason or another. They actually wasted one episode so that one girl stole the others' panties and then everyone chased after her..... Of course there were crushes between girls and stuff. And when they fly, they somehow grow animal ears and a tail, to look cute I guess, it had no real reason. Try looking for the series' opening on Youtube or something.
So why the hell did I waste my time on it?
I heard that it had a Finnish girl in it, so I had to take a look. Luckily her personality wasn't that bad (actually the 2nd best). Her name is Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen (they sounded funny when they pronounced a Finnish name) and she is the girl on the left. She was paired with Russian girl Sanya V Litvyak (on the right), whose personality appealed to me the most.
So the show sucked pretty bad (Argh, I so hate the main character
), but because of Eila and Sanya I managed to watch all 12 episodes. They were the only girls whose panties weren't showing in every episode...
About the picture: It's the first time I actually used Photoshop to some bigger drawing, and I'm kinda happy how it turned out. Eila looks a bit stupid and her colouring didn't turn out the way I hoped it would, but I'm very pleased with Sanya, or mainly with her dress. Background sucks, because I don't have any skills with Photoshop yet.

The way it mixes Sci-fi and 1940's stuff is awesome, and the aerial Dogfights against the Neuroi Infected Ships are Top-Notch. Plus the girls look so cute and cuddly and moe' and stuff and thats a good point too. Not only that, but don't forget their conflict against the Evil Mercenaries. Also Strike Witches knows how to do a really good Final Boss, as in WARLOCK and the Infected YAMATO.
Who cares about the pantsu? I don't even notice them 90% of the time.
Not only that, but it is somewhat similar to games like Battle Garegga, Strikers 1945, Battle Bakraid, Ketsui Kizuna, Star Fox, and even a bit of Metroid and Metal Slug, and that's a good point too. Strike Witches is an extremely awesome anime.
Well that's all I have to say now.
