Haha one thing is her hair. Usually looks so wonky to me in art, with some bright aquamarine blue and icky green and it just really clashes with everything. I'm not sure exactly what you've done. Could it be you've made the color of the "ocean" part of her hair a more realistic sapphire hue (slightly more shifted to the violet side of the spectrum than I usually see) and so it begins to match that indigo skirt and nasa shirt a little better rather than clashing? The nasa logo also appears to be a little lighter and more vibrant than I expect, which is closer to the color of her hair as well. I think what really kicks off the hair though is the shape (and body of it too). It actually looks like a normal, natural cut and a more rounded shape. At times her design strikes me as try-hard and just thrown together. An "anime character" with a cut-and paste-earth map on her anime haircut, basically. You can see I formed a poor opinion of the design for whatever reason. I was even tempted to redesign her. But I see now that she doesn't need to be completely redesined, the design just needs to be realized and grown into. I do like the style and her eyes and eyebrows. It's just nice. More appropriate. I mean, we live on this planet, for goodness sake, draw her like you love her, and importanly, like she loves us, because she's so giving and should have giving eyes.



You've made her a character, is all. You've drawn her like she's your own character and you've put her in a meaningful light. I guess that sums it up.



Gosh I really picked this apart... I'm often very verbose. Just try to fit everything I just said into one concise feeling or idea and take small note of it before moving on.
