2058 was created for use as a promotional tool and a book sleeve illustration when a novel was published, but I didn't finish it on time. Later on, when l read the finished novel, I was relieved to discover that my image didn't really fit the book, and so it was really good luck that it didn't make the deadline. Her outfit's a little too rude, I'm afraid. Warriors need real outfits, don't they...? I like the more "unfinished" middle warrior (but unfortunately wouldn't be able to use her in that condition). I think the real highlights of this image are not the character's stomach and chest, which look awfully chilly, but the patterns on her armor.

This character was reprinted by Kodansha, along with several other new characters that couldn't be included here, in a 1999 calendar. Perhaps someday it'll be possible to include images related to this character in a collection. Then again, it may not....
