I realized that I don't have much recent art of Watzu, let alone up-to-date with her current look and style.
I decided to rectify this.
So here we have two forms of Watzu, namely her designs during the Saiya-jin Saga of my AU Cross-Over fanfiction, WDBZ. It crosses Tenchi Muyo! with Dragon Ball Z, and Watzu here is the brash and masculine older twin sister of Washuu. And yes, they're both half-breed Saiya-jins; Washuu just doesn't show it as much as her sister does.
On the left is how Watzu appears during the begining of the saga, when Raditzu first arrives and up until Gokou's death. Because I only had an interlude (AKA a non plot-important chapter) for the years worth of training, I really didn't do anything with her design. However, she does gain some nasty scars on her forearms (you can kind of see them in the image) when she trained with Tenchi.
As you can see, her posture is more calm and relaxed compared to the other one. In this form, she's fairly care-free. I had designed it already, but it was so old and crappy that I needed to redo it.
On the right we have how she looks during the battle between Nappa and Bejita. I realized as I was working on this that I never really designed her outfit during that time, so I had to make something up. Her hair is a bit longer this time around, mostly all one length instead of layered, and her posture is much more stiff and angry. I rather like the outfit I did for her.
I am fairly pleased with this. I finally have enough skills to show Watzu how she should appear - a thick, broad neck, broad shoulders, a squarish masculine jaw, and heavily muscled arms (and legs, though you cant see it here). Her breasts are a tad bigger then they should be, but she isn't complaining about it, now is she?
The whole joke with Watzu is that she's easily mistaken for a male, given her towering height of 6'3" and even her voice is somewhat masculine.
The only thing I'm not happy with is her hair. I redid it like six times and finally settled with this. Pink hair is a bitch to shade, and I had to do it in brown to get it to look right, then change the color. It's way too dark, but at least you can see the correct shade her hair is - very redish pink.
FUN FACT: Watzu is left-handed. I noticed that I almost always draw her flipping the bird with her left hand
