Hm. This is something I began a long time ago and just now had the energy to finish.

Meet Mai, my khajiit. The title implies to the fact that this is a new way of drawing her and I must say she looks rather wenchy. =P Try as I might, I couldn't get the colours quite right and therefore I'm not completely satisfied (plus all the other things I don't like yadda yadda). Ah well.

From Oblivion (C) Bethesda.

i'm more of a argonian person myself but to the point, she looks less silly here then in your older style, more real then like a cartoon characeter.

if you wan't some construktive critism, the lights are a bit of on the hair, theres no fixed lighsource there are atleast 3 sources i can point out at the moment, from the bardisk, from above right and above left, it needs some shadeing and not only highlights. but i like how you've done the hair overall with its lines.
the ears need more depth, i think its the thin black line around them (while theres none in them) that "kills them" because it amplifies the effekt of a border and sense of 2d.

beutiful khajiit however i like the more realistic look then the cartoony, the name remembers me of mai´q one of my favorite NPC's in that game, my secound one is ahdarji (if you don't join theives guild).

i would like to give you a fishy stick but sadly i have none, see you around.

Constructive criticism is seldom a bad thing, so thank you. :)

As for the criticism itself, I can see your points and I can only say that I agree with you.

Yeah, Mai'q is a very similar name indeed. Mai is just something I took from French since it sounded fitting. =P

Glad to see your Mai back :D. But IMO she looked better in previous style ^^'.

Still I hope to see again more pics with her ^^.

I rather think I prefer the older style as well. She kinda looks like a different person in this and I guess that's one of the reasons it took me so long to finish this. Ah well, I suppose I'll try again some day. :D

Very nice shading, here. Especially on the background. Lord knows I can't do a good background to save my life. I envy you!

I think the colours are just fine to me. There's a great colour scheme coming through of reds and browns to create a rustic sort of look. Nice work!
