First Lady of Fighting

I ran out of paper so I decided to color some old drawings of mine.
Sadly, I was trying a new method on the program, and it kind of blurred the image a bit. DX

I wanted to attempt a new way of Shading using the blend tool, however it seemed to have some issues, as it left some of the light shades mixed in, causing it to become pixelated.
After the coloring was finished however, I wanted to add some movement effects. Learning how to utilize some of the tools on the program I managed to add a swipe effect along Chun's leg, as though she was swinging her leg in the air. The background I wanted to stick with the warm colors. But towards the leg, I want to give Chun-li that sense of power in her kicks, so I created a kind of light colored explosion effect.

After that, I slapped my initials on the picture, and it looked wonderful...until I saw it on the PC. lol

SO what you think? ^^
