Artist's Comments

Edit: Changed the bg a little to make it look less hectic. Thanks a lot for your advice ^^

My picture for the OC-contest I was talking about previously.

Now that she is done I can work on her backgroundstory and the references :D I'm not done yet! >:3 Hehehe...

I like the way to colors seem to gleam in this one :D Though my mom said it looks oversaturated... Might be because of her monitor though... Funny how the colors seem different on whatever desk you look at them O_o;

Critiques


:iconpersebalthasaar:
I'm not a fan of walloftextcritique so I'll keep it brief.

First and foremost the coloring technique is splendid and superbly done. The costume and weapon design reflects a celestial theme that works well. The wings, her pose, and the background give the impression "Take Flight!" which I like the best from this work.

However, the flight pose feels a little weird since she is leading forwatd, while her wing position is flapping, in which her body must lean backward. Other thing to point is that the shield looks small, yet her left palm is not visible.

Other than that, again, it is a wonderful artwork!

First impression on this piece is stunning! The colour palette and scheme really work well with this character and brings her to life!

Good/Great

- Her wings are stunning and the bright glow of them really make them stand out. Your eye is drawn to them and they look really well done.

-the lineart is thin and sutle, and you don't see much of it making you see more of the character. You see a lot of work where the lineart is just too thick and takes your eye away, but this lineart is sutle and very amazing.

-Her hair really feelings like hair. It flows and changes shade at a constant light source which makes it seem more real, but coloured in a way that makes it stay in the anime category ;)

-Her outfit is very original and somewhat sexy looking, making her very appealing for anyone to look at!

- the little sparkles surrounding her really make it feel she's an angel of some sorts :)

Some improvement

-the background is just too busy. Even with the glow around the character, her body kind of gets lost in the complexity of the background. Maybe make the background darker will make the character pop more. The focus is on her and it being all those mixes of dark colours and designs makes your eye pull away from her.

-The sword is slightly bent in the middle making it seem like the sword might slide apart. but it's a slight thing and not a major notice.

-Her waist, proportionately is off; it seems way too thin for how wide her hips and legs are. Widing her waist a tad would fix that look. :)

-Her eye is pointed a bit too the right side, and it makes her look like her one eye isn't facing the same direction as her right eye. moving it slightly to the left and point a bit more will fix that

This piece is amazing though, it was hard to find and real issues that weren't just minor technical things. The only thing major is the background, and more the darker blends of different designs. Only serious thing i can see that needs changing.

But the character herself is absolutely amazing! It's very well done!

O__O Wow shiny :XD: I like the background as well as her clothes, very detailed ^^ The sexy curve on her legs captures my attention pretty much :XD:

Oh and, she is really, really...thin on the stomach O__O I would prefer a little bit of healthy fat on that part, but she looks athelic enough to burn them off xDD

Wow, very beautiful. I like the lacy stockings. Her hair is pretty, I love the color you chose for it (and the flower :3) The wings are nice, but they actually look a little on the cartoonish side... maybe in the sense that they're not as detailed as the rest of the picture... so they look a bit flat.

It seems there's something off with her anatomy as well... I think it might be that her breasts are too big for her thin figure. And her back is kind of at a weird angle. But overall, it's a very lovely drawing. It doesn't seen over saturated to me... at least not on my desktop monitor (which makes all of the art that I do on my laptop look horrid).
