Well now that you include that Apple logo on there, I think it's losing the original 'DJ' flair you might have been striving for originally. Then again, the only thing I know about MAC and Apple products is their smooth handling of editing programs and whatnot. Are Pioneer and Apple related to each other? Because I think it might confuse other people as well. Especially folks like me, who aren't keen on those sorts of things.

I was kind of thinking you could add in more things into the design, for example vinyl records, so people could get the idea of DJ equipment.

I like the new white sleeve, it's really eye-catching and fun but at the same time, the 'pop' factor is has kind of takes away from the design as a whole. My eyes are immediately drawn to that block of white, rather then the whole design. I would say you might want to add white or something to the rest of it. Aside from that, it also feels very awkward there is such a large block of white there and the rest of the color scheme is subdued and dark.

If you really do have a difficult time drawing human anatomy, I'd say look at stock images of artist dummies for a reference. Or at the store they cost 2 dollars or less.

That's my two cents, take or leave.
Dont worry, Apple and pioneer are fairly related as DJs use the Macbooks + CDJs together in live sets. Also Pioneer as made products for Apple's iPod/iphone range of electronics.

I do see what you mean though, it was intentional to make it less symmetrical + to make up for all the dark grey/black colouring on the rest of the outfit. C:

I like it though, it looks a hell of a lot more interesting than it did. Thanks for the help everyone and Im deeply sorry about my sort temper, it gets in the way of things. xD

I do have one of those wooden dummies you were on about but I dont find it much help to be honest. it's more due to my lack of size judgement I think. I need to keep practising, Im sure ill get their in the end!

Now the her design is complete, can I have a little bit of help making up a logo for her? I want it to be in Chinese characters rather than english/japanese as I think it's too overdone. :)

(I can direct you to some pretty awesome stock images for poses and anatomy help on dA if you want )

Well uhh...I'm not very good with logos to be honest. Nor am I good with Chinese =_=;;
I mean...depending on what you want it to say I'd suggest you research a bit on Chinese characters and their meanings.

Okay, now she looks a little messy.
Here's why: The white is off putting. It's like it was just put there to look less black, but doesn't unify the design. I think that the idea of using white is good, but you should be more open with it. A more significant amount of the outfit should be white so that the colours are balanced. That's the largest problem with her outfit right now. You didn't succeed in making the outfit asymmetrical, you just threw it all off balance.
The chords are a fine idea, just where are they coming from? Be sure to clover that in a reference.
The wings look silly and childish. Her design doesn't even call for wings. Is she a demon-based design? Dark angel? Magical girl? Make the wings fit. As of right now, they don't make any sense. And it's kind of like a bad Gaia Avatar. The idea is to stick with a general theme. I look at her and I don't know what I'm supposed to grab from that. A futuristic girl with.. tiny black angel wings? If you can make them look even more futuristic or technological, then they may go better with the outfit.
It's good that you're expanding, but I think you can go further. Again, this is only my opinion, so don't take it as a personal attack. It's not.

I'm pretty happy with the design now so I'll just level it how it is, she looks quite special. ^_^ If you look closely, where the cords are coming from, there's a thin strap holding them in place. Don't worry I'll draw a back ref of her soon so I can show you. The wings are speakers, they go with her dark personality.

@nils
I'll record some when I've got time. :)

@Iris
The help sketches are much welcomed. As for the Chinese I already know what 'Kelly' is in Chinese, I just want some ideas on how to stylise the text into a logo.

Ok

I'll just sketch something up then and quickly make the logo. I don't do digital art anymore. I only learned how to use PS and Gimp so I could make my UTAU's art. :P

Dont worry! It might appear black or grey depending on monitor settings/type.

They dont look the most flattering here but in my pencil drawings it'll look really cute and you'll see how they're 'laser guided'. :D
