Description
Work in progress--PLEASE CRITIQUE COLOURINGSoon to be contest entry for *JessicaElwood 's colouring contest, using her line art.
EDIT: Finished piece posted here: [link]
I put a huge emphasis on shading in this one, and I'm very happy with that aspect. I'm pretty happy with the colour choices although they don't feel very imaginative. And the background is just plain crap.
Suggestions are welcome. Please be harsh, don't spare me on the criticism.

Advanced Critique....
The nipples are good nothing really bad with them. (might be a bit better with color for the areola) The shaft of the spears texture is good, but the only real thing that gets me in the entire image is the texture on the shield. Something about realistic textures in non realistic drawings that doesn't look right to me. Maybe if it was painted or even shaded on top of the texture it would look better. Other then that, its one of your best shadings, and looks awesome!
*is jealous* T_T

I took your advice and coloured the areola more prominently, and washed out the shield texture a bit. I think it looks better after those changes. I posted the finished piece in a separate deviation. [link]
Thank you very much for the detailed commentary.

(Normally I dont look at the pictures with porn type things in them, but the art was to good to pass up)
I really like how you shaded it all, I like the backround alot because it gives the feeling of an adventure and mystery to me. Overall I'd give it Two thumbs up.

Heh heh, "fantasy" art is prone to bare chests, I've noticed.
Thanks for the comment and the two thumbs up. Is there anything at all you would want to change?

It seems wierd to me that everthing seems shiny and new, but the wristbands are smudged a bit. It's a small pointless thing, but I just saw it.

Actually, that's a valid point. I used an effect on the bracers which was meant to make it look metallic. However, I hadn't thought about how fresh and new everything else looks. It probably needs a bit of dirt and wear.
Thanks very much for the detailed comment.

No problem, but after thinking about it. The braces look like they are from something like dragon (Which is hard to find XD) and everything else looks like it's from bone and other things that could have come from a number of animals. So
I guess it has a reason to be worn out.

Wow, I hadn't put that much thought into it. That's a very imaginative way of explaining it.
I was wondering if I should have made the bracers bone or metal. I was getting tired of colouring bone all over and the bracers don't look like they'd be carved out of bone. Hmm. I want this thing to be perfect.
