Zargothrax: I have several long-time unfinished drawings, some of which I decided to finally make at least presentable instead of letting them fade into oblivion. This is the first one.
Some of you may recall that Quill is an acrobatics trainer in game. This is her at level 100 in acrobatics.

KuroNeko: That water splash is just gorgeous I love that looooong tail, makes everything more dynamic.
This is an interesting design choice for Quill-Weave, it looks like a mix of Daggerfall argonians and calamity from No Evil.
Amazing work as always :)

bluedraggy: Is she actually running on top of deep water? I think so! What's most impressive is being able to convey that through just lines.

Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: Thanks! I don't want to take too much credit for the splash though. I googled something like "cartoony splash" then referenced one of those. My attempts without using a reference looked awful. As for the design, it just came out that way, my style is still far from well defined.
@bluedraggy: She is, and thank you! And to clarify here a little (and why the racism tag was needed), here is the reference I was using when drawing this:

The idea came from the mechanic in Oblivion that allowed the player to "run" on top of deep water once they reach 100 in acrobatics.
And a fun-fact: There was a first attempt at drawing her legs, which resembled the original image a lot more closely, but it looked so broken I had to discard it. Then, I referenced hurdlers.
