Lol, yeah, marker paper's pretty neat. It's kind of like poster board in that the paper's pores are very shallow, almost nonexistant, so the marker won't bleed or soak through. It's just not as easy to use pencil on it, and the wrong kind of pen will smudge like crazy. Fickle stuff, but ideal for copic markers or inking. And no worries ^^ Like I said, I appreciate the advice.
Actually, this was just meant as a concept sketch, not any sort of finished product. I appreciate the offer for guidance, however ^_^ Marker isn't something I normally intend to work with; I was trying out a new marker paper the art center I teach at was thinking of ordering. Truth be told, I don't really have a wide variety of markers, and the ones I do have are all at least ten years old and not reliable xD
Her dress is super cool! I really like her boots and her stance. I think that their also could have been better lighting though. It would have really brought out her sword. If you need any help with lighting just let me know so I can give you a view pointers. i have worked with markers before.
I also think that the scratchy shading in her skirt works pretty well. It gives off that lacy feel.

Ha ha ha, there is such thing as marker paper? I never knew this OTL. I like the fact that you keep your options open though.
Sorry for just assuming this was a finished piece.
