Description "I've missed being able to fly with you..."
~David to deviantART

Guess who put off studying in order to fix his laptop, and then proceeded to continue to put off studying in order to make this picture. Now you're probably asking yourself. "David, you dashing Adonis, you. However did you make this picture with your old copy of Photoshop having been lost when you reformatted your computer?"

With a completely legitimate copy of Photoshop that I obtained legally, of course!

That's my story anyway.


Onto the picture!

I started off trying to make it look like something Alphons Mucha [link] would have made, at which point I realized that I didn't know how to go about mimicking his style so that didn't really pan out. You can still see a bit of his influence in the picture (the hair, the background,) but it's not really the homage that I was planning. Don't get me wrong though, I still like how this picture turned out.

(I'm not putting a mature warning on this because I personally don't think it warrants it, but am I being too strict with my idea of what constitutes a mature picture?)

Onto the Picture! (Again.)

Yeah... More Eve Crescentwalker...
I decided that I wanted to have a picture with a bit of symbolism, and for what I was going for Eve was the perfect candidate. I felt kind of bad drawing this, but in my defense her wings would have blocked out all the details.

You don't need wings to fly! I mean, they help... A lot, but there's always planes.
Eve could become a pilot! There, I just turned a terrible situation into an opportunity!

Hands are proof that God hates artists.

That's not the first time my 'nose bubble' was burst: [link] luckily I think I can deal with criticisms a bit better than I used to be able to.
Because of the way my layers are set up it'd be a bit of a pain to shrink the nose on this one, but I'll bear nose sizes in mind for future pictures.

Love the colors/texture/expression, but I feel as if the spine should be changed a bit. o.o; I would suggest making it simple with a curved line rather then individual bumps for the spine.

I took your advice and tried a curved line, but that also didn't quite look right so I went with really subtle shading instead.
I didn't realize how iffy the spine looked until you got me to adjust it, but I'm really glad that you did. I think it looks a lot better like this. Great critique!

Awww poor Eve.

It looks so lovely and painful at the same time.

'oor Eve' indeed... I promise to make a happier picture of her after my Mucha-esque pictures are all done. Maybe I'll send her to a beach or something.

Thank you so much!
