I always imagined her to be the twin sister of Sian-Rotam. xD

For the uninitiated, can you tell us what "gijinka" is?
She's cute, but she doesn't make me think of small-eyed, jowly Rak'shiri. Do you have any plans to color her?

"Moe anthropomorphism (萌え擬人化, moe
gijinka) is a form of anthropomorphism where moe qualities are given to non-human beings, objects, concepts, or phenomena. In addition to moe features, moe anthropomorphisms are also characterized by their accessories, which serve to emphasize their original forms before anthropomorphosis. The female character here, usually in a kind of cosplay, is drawn to represent an inanimate object or popular consumer product, since females often have curvier body lines than males. Part of the humor of this personification comes from the personality ascribed to the character (often satirical) and the sheer arbitrariness of identifying a variety of machines, objects, and even physical places as cute." -

Agreed.
So while the quality of the sketch is good, I'm not sure you've truly met the requirements of a gijinka rendering of her.
