Thank you for your commets Rhetoric Camel, It really makes me feel like I'm doing a really good character, and that is what I'm aiming for. And yes I want to animate the character.. And I allready make some bones and IK's.. some set driven keys in the hand, and the fingers.. but not rigg yet. If someone has a good idea of what type of color or texture I can put in her clothes.. feel free to say it..

F-ing sweet! The new armor look doesn't look futuristic, but its totally awesome for a ninja princess theme. Its hard coming up with something new.
why not make the armor toon shaded as well?

I NEED A JOB!

I dont want to make the armor toon.. I just want the skin of the character to be toon, and the hair. But the armor realistic, and the enviroments that I plan to do some day realistic as well. I think the combinations is going to look good.
