Much as I love Poison, I think the text could have used a little work. The font makes it look a little garish, and I think a bit more time could have been spent on the induction. That's largely personal preference, but I think it would have made it go from an okay image to a great one.

Hot damn, I love how smooth she looks in this image. The art style is awesome. Looking at the artist's gallery in the source, most of his works are this good. <3

Oh, and Voiceless (I assume you manipped this), you left a stray period between the first two paragraphs. ;)

A few words of advice: beyond good writing, a good text manip also has good text aesthetics. This means things like text position and font type and color all matter. It looks off to most people at first, but captions generally look more visually pleasing if you center the text, rather than having it left justified. If you stick with left justification, each line is bound to seem jagged on one end. Centering the text results in a more even jaggedness that is almost appealing because it's uniform to both the left and right sides of the line of text. This also makes it easier for viewers to keep their place while reading.

As for color, try to avoid plain black and plain white. In this case, using white for the background of the text area that you extended is fine, because the rest of the image already uses that white as its background. However, for future reference in other cases, avoid using just plain white or black for your extended text areas and text font. Black and white are boring colors and are not appealing to the eye, so the caption ends up seeming bland and rushed, aesthetically. It also ends up looking too sharp, which can strain the eyes of readers. It's preferable to use soft colors that are still readable on the background. In this case, for example, I might have used a lighter shade of red to match the characters hair or a fairly light shade of blue to match her eyes, both of which are a common ways to decide on font colors.

I'm not super familiar with the franchise, but, if I recall correctly, Poison is a transsexual. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, though.

They've gotten more and more coy about it as the years went on. I think the official canon right now is that they want it to be intentionally ambiguous as to... er... "what" she is. Perhaps because the mystery makes it sexier, or it's kind of a statement on, "does it really matter? you think she's hot", or both.

In Fact she's a new-half (from birth as it seems)

And also, this should have a street fighters tag, too, because, in Street Fighters 4, she is reintroduced as a character.

Actually, I think it was Super Street Fighter 4, but it's still Street Fighter, so tag updated with justification!
