Poor attempt at drawing and idea

I had an idea for a drawing for a while now, but never done it out of fear of it coming out terrible. Today I finally tried to draw it and... ok, it's not really good, but it's not bad either (I think).
Here it is:

Now I have to refine it and colour it, and I think I will do it (probably... maybe... there's a tiny chance), but I mostly posted this to know if you like the concept (and/or have any suggestion).
Since I am not very good at drawing (I think this is the best thing I've ever drawn), if anyone wants to "steal" this idea and make it better, I heartly approve :)

PS: now that I think about it, maybe I should have added drills to her airstyle :P

Nah, make her fast instead. Much easier to draw. :P

I really like your idea. The last picture I saw when someone attempted to forge all girls together was... scary. :shock: This was really great! :)

I'm surprised by myself, but I actually took the time to finish it (not that it took much).

Thank you very much! :)
Actually, I was really afraid of making a mess when I started drawing all the girls in one character, but it turned out quite well. But I think it worked mostly because it's a chibi, a "grown-up" version drawn by me would definitely have looked "scary".

How does she feel if she doesn't have hands?

On the serious side, it does look like a really fun idea. As for the artwork itself, I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. Disclaimer: I use my own artistic ability (or lack thereof) as my benchmark for critique.

Sorry to be a party-pooper, but i find the drawing rather disturbing. It's not because of the technique or anything you can help, but the subject matter is just... Kimochi Warui.

Try again using words everyone can understand without having to delve into a foreign dictionary.

So, having looked it up, it's apparently a phrase that doesn't even directly translate. It could mean anything from, "this is disgusting," to "I feel sick," to "this feeling sucks."

So good job using a phrase where nobody can possibly know exactly what you intended. :evil:

Man, i didn't imagine an off-hand reference to EoE would cause so much backlash. But you are right, i shouldn't have used a phrase that no one would have understood outside most eva fans. I apologize. And yeah, the phrase is extremely vague and not easy to translate.
