Today I just finished drawing a new picture of an original character of mine. Her name is Naga(for the time being) and she's a half human/half snake woman with many tattoos on her body. This is a line drawing of her but I'll color it in when I feel like it. It wasn't easy work to do but I'm proud of how it came out.
Well in order for those of you interested in knowing a bit more about this character of mine I'll give you a small Bio.
In an alternate dimension,on a planet in many ways similar & dissimilar to Earth there are a melting pot of different creatures that live side by side with humans & humanoid beings. They get on well for the most part. It's no utopia but it's not half bad either.It's a world were scientific technology is very advanced,crime is relatively low,schools have much better funding particularlly in the special ed department,& sex is not seen as a taboo. In fact while safe sex is not only encouraged but also talked about in an intelligent,conversational way & isn't hidden in the dark.
In that world there are a wide variety of religious sects & cults but several that practice & encourage safe sex with it's priests & priestesses (as long as everyone is at the or above the age of consent...minors are forbidden to engage these types of practices until their 17 & a half years olds at the least.)
Enter Naga,a: young,witty,responsible,laid back,forthright,charming clever & busty snake woman. She's one of the high priestesses who works at one of the local temples as well as having other sorts of jobs. She's very pleased about her job as a priestess & doesn't mind helping others with their worries or troubles( and making some dough a long the way from time to time. She's often topless because for her species it's simple a natural state for her while it does get annoying when one or two asshole thing they can just make a pass at her or treat her like she's a mindless doll.
That usually gets said assholes a swift & harsh tail lashing or clawed then a tail lashing. But for normal people who don't bother in such a distasteful manner she's a a great person to have around & is very dependable.Also,while there are plenty of fertility rituals in the temple she works for she's known to get a bit too enthusiastic(if get my drift *wink wink,nudge nudge*)
And without further ado:Here's the drawing of which I've be yammering on about below...

I really like this pic - one of your best, on my opinion. That said, there are some parts where it could've been better:
--tail: The part where it starts to curl looks awkward, like it stopped connecting somewhere. Makes it look as though that tail was not hers.
--breasts: They look good, but the nipples are a bit misplaced - one's lower than the other, and the areolas are placed too high for them. Either lower the smaller circles or raise the larger ones. Other than that, they're good.
That's all I can come up with at the moment. You should try coloring it sometime. :)
Actually I was just thinking about doing that. I'm glad you like it. Say could you give me any tips on how to draw nipples properly their rather difficult to draw at certain angles( I was trying to make them look as realistic as I could.)
And the tail. Oi,that had to be the hardest part of making the drawing. Getting the tail to curl in a way that it looks now was the best that I could do though I'll go over it & see which angles & areas I need to fix up.
PS:How did you like my description for her bio? does it sound like it could make for an interesting story??
Well, for the nipples, I just draw a guideline through the breasts to make sure the placement is correct. Don't know how to explain it properly.
For the tail...did you draw the parts that aren't visible, too (as guides)? It helps with balance, and for those curves it's really helpful.
I liked her description, but a single good character does not a good story make. You have one character and part of the world set up - that's a good start. I can't comment much, though, since I failed to finish most of mine (poor pre-planning due to me being lazy), so I'll just post this link instead since it does a better job at explaining things: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SoYouWantTo/WriteAStory
I second what Jose said. I love the overall detail but one nipple is bigger than the other. However it looks like you are using traditional mediums and it is not as easy to "erase and redraw" when working with supplies as opposed to pixels.
The added wings are neat and I like her face. I'm a big buff for mythological art.
Though I did not comment on it per se I thought your rendention of Kali was tight. She's one of my favorite goddesses.
