Heh, thanks. I really like Lora'lai's costume design, so I figured it'd be an interesting (if ambitious) thing for my second attempt.
Niteflier, I'm glad my guesses were right. I sorta vaguely remembered the infinity chest symbol was a trademark of yours, but wasn't entirely sure. The ice pattern's a Photoshop filter slapped over an incredibly messy colouring job - I'd actually intended to use a different render effect, but that one turned out so nice I had to keep it.
The Brahela picture...her left leg was originally supposed to be kneeling, and it worked reasonably well in lineart, but I couldn't really shade it right to get the extreme contours - necessary because I'd already done high contrast definition for 3D effect on the rest of her leotard. So, uh, I cheated.
Next up, Yukiyo, as requested by Hunterminator in the other thread:-

This one is not entirely 'show-accurate' - there's no subtle slash patterning on the cape, and the flames on her legs are simplified. I tried both, but it sort of conflicted with the lineart and overall colour balance. This one also has the distinction of being the most complex layering job I've done so far - even more than Brahela's ice spear - mostly because of the leg pattern and visor. It's not as good as it could be - I wish the cape were better - but otherwise I think it's the best I've done so far.
