Black General Cynder - Claws of the freedom v.1.0

This is some fan art I rarely do.
I didn't draw any Cynder art for... 8 years, huh?
Well Here she is.

I also I like Pure Light series because adult Cynder there the most badass I ever saw.
So umm... it's DOUBLE fanart, how's that, huh?
ahem...
Well I really liked to draw Cynder but to be honest I was stuck at background... And I hate backgrounds...
I almost got carried away in pointless full detail route with background... Lost time and resulted in pretty poor focus on Cynder herself.
Background had begun to draw too much of attention.
So... I was forced to smooth it very much. And came with idea of "limiting" background to just small elipse for some effect and attention to Cynder.
Maybe I need to use this more frequent. 
I would finish this work a week or two earlier if not that stupid background which throw me temporally in despair... which happens with me very often when I haven't enough of inspiration and will to do background.


But I begin to get used to cell-shading. to be honest it's not that bad as a way to detail pictures... even if it's not that serious for a serious artists... But I'm not good artist anyway...

Also... thanks to for support and help she gives me... without her I would not know what to do.
And thanks to her for keeping Pure light alive. She does it very great.
It would be a shame to finish this series in a poor way.
