    Wow mizukage. This looks truly great. Very good character design! I like the arm, the swords and her mask a lot. It's a very detailed drawing and there's some really good shading. Hmm I'm guessing her 35. Not sure why though, but it feels like that ^^ Let me know what her true age is! I'm curious ;D

    I realised I've been drawing a lot of pics with swords lately, including the latest one ^^; Drawing them is a lot of fun.

    Thanks for the compliments =)

    It's fun to make a character look androgynous, ain't it?

    Haha, thankies! ^^

    Anyway, how old do you think this character is? I'm just collecting data just out of curiosity, lol. Let's just say it's really hard to draw someone of an intended age, so I wanna see what others think =P

    I've never read/watched D. Gray-Man, but I've seen what Kanda looks like... so I guess you're right =P I notice the resemblance now.

    Thanks! I appreciate your compliments ^^

    Would you like to take a guess at her age, like what everyone else has done? I'm taking statistics for the heck of it, you see... lol xD

    Thanks!

    It's okay, I made her to have androgynous characteristics on purpose =P But I find it strange that you realised it through her name. The name "Setsuna" is supposed to be unisex =D And, once again, I gave her that name deliberately, lol.

    Hahaha! Let me correct that sentence...

    "Not everyone can be heavily endowed like Kurenai Tsunade and still kick butt." 8D

    Wow...this is amazing!! I can tell you put a LOT of effort into designing Setsuna, and sadly yes, I mistakened her for a guy at first glance. The name correct me though! >.<

    Anyways, I love her outfit and fightinng style. I think creating this character to have a less feminine appearance stresses her quality of a ninja/warrior. I mean, not everyone can be heavily endowed like Kuranai and still kick butt.

    As for her age, I'd guess mid to late twenties. I can't say an exact number for sure, since her face is covered with a mask.

    Great job on this character. I wish you the best in the contest!!

    Since this is a Naruto OC, I intend to go by the standards of the series where it belongs. You know that Naruto is a shounen anime, and shounen anime is far from realistic, lol. Besides, I still have to take combat skills and experience into account when deciding.

    I suggest using real-life reference for your decisions... Anime is nothing more than abbreviations of realistic artwork, if you haven't realized that already. ::*nods*::

    Your very much welcome. As always. I found it pretty funny that it was getting younger too. xD

    Interesting deduction. Your words make a lot of sense. I didn't say you got it right or anything, but I like the logic =) Actually, I'm still not too sure about her age myself. I have a rough estimation, but I'm still trying to narrow it down.

    It was refreshing to see a change after I realised she was getting younger with each comment 8D It's hard to strike a balance between skills, maturity, and age. I try as much as possible to refer to canon characters in Naruto as a gauge for my decision.

    I'd say early 30's.. Just to differentiate between the other guesses. :P Not to mention I can't go by art alone. I used a bit of psychology in my guess. Most people make characters in their youth. Being that you are trying to capture a certain age, I'd imagine that it would be one not of youth or age... So I'd go for a woman's age. Someone with the knowledge and good sense to abide by that quote (which I like by the way) you made. ::*nods*::

    I think it's a pretty damn good submission for the contest. I wish you luck, fellow artist.

    I'm going to guess around 17-19.
    Anyway, you really took your time designing her didn't you? And it really shows. The shading is nicely done. Everything looks very smooth and clean. I wish you the best of luck in the contest!!

    I really love the action pose. It gives a much more indepth look to her character instead of him just standing there. The amount of detail in incredible as well. You've really put a lot into this character.
