"It depends on your lines really. You shouldn't necessarily need to delete them, if you weight them appropriately in the right spots it should look ok with them still on.
I'm by no means a pro, but I think lines can be irrelevant to any stylistic realism, it's more about colors and lighting for that. You got guys like LM7 who retain full sketchy linearts, and still render images that look like 3d game engines, or WLOP who has no lines at all, and looks like a painting. Unless you're going for absolute photorealism, then you shouldn't be doing anime anyways cause that's some high level shit blending anime with reality and not having it look uncanny and disturbing.
People don't really zoom in and examine your lines as much as you do for yourself. If you look closer at my Asuka, it's an absolute messy disaster, and that isn't a stylistic choice, it's a bad mix of laziness and inexperience. I'd rather ink everything these days to keep my colors tight and forms defined. I just don't want to spend 8hours on a freebie meme drawing. Nothing personnel requester friends. HEH." - carebu

Re-uploading because the old post (id:98975) did not contain artist's subsequent improvements.

As per the artist's words:

"So i was doing this request, but later noticed (i took my sweet damn time to do it) that someone alredy delivered, now i don't feel like finishing it, but it would be a waste at this point, id rather recycle it.

Everything but the pose and the proportions (boob size can vary) are staying the same, rest is changing, come ahead and request."

Pretty sure this is by someone known here, but I can't pinpoint the style

The artist himself had confirmed it. Yep, that's kubo(bluefield)'s work.

This looks like one of archvermin's, but I'm not sure

Actually, it is a different person that colored her.

"Requesting Diana (Yuusha Ga Shinda) dressed as Diana (Little Witch Academia) sweating intensely as usual."

"Matsuri Mizusawa dual-wielding handguns"

"Momoka Sonokawa from Sabagebu holding her pistol with her back against a corner wall with a nervous/determined expression. LLENN from Gun Gale Online is around the corner out to hunt her."

"Draw a loli Vash, from Trigun"

I've seen several pictures in this style \ with this background sepia. Anyone knows the name of the author?

Okay, I take that back, she is adorable. - requester

AHAHAHHAHAHA
