Description Ewww. She looks like a he. Hmmm... a drag queen perhaps?

I think it's the scary eyebrows and the gross eyes. Not thrilled with how this came out.

The nose, horrible. And no, that is not a wart or pimple. Supposed to be a nose ring.

Next time, I should go for a simpler angle, or not drawing anything at all.

I think your technique of using textured highlights on photoshop is absolutely top-notch. I noticed it in images like Black Thunder (which, far from looking lazy, adds a great deal of motion and vibrancy to the image), and I think you've implemented it really well here. The highlights on the cloth are very eye-catching, the colour-range you've selected is very effective, with nothing jarring or over-riding the rest, and the hair is...just...excellent! So don't do yourself down so much!

Ps. She doesn't look like a guy.

She looks like a sorcerous, a powerful one... She looks like she is slightly interested in something, and is in thought, I think it looks good

The colour of her hair really sets off her eyes. Pretty

It looks more like a nose stud than a ring xP

Anyway, the detail on the hair is amazing. <3

Lovely work hun.

I really enjoy how you do silky fabrics, and how you almost always have similar colors to draw your eye (like the magenta rim of hood - lips, and the hair - main part of cloak) And you really need to stop worrying about gender so much- it doesn't really make a difference whether it's a guy or a girl, it's just the feeling and look you're getting across that does. The nose is fine, too. It's far more realistic than most noses people draw (including myself), with them being the width of a pencil.

Your hair and lips are just as amazing as ever.

The angle is kind of weird, but the only way to learn how to draw it like that is trial and error, right? It's better than what I'm afraid my pictures might look like at angles. Uhuhu... angles. *shudder*
I love the folds and her neck, for some odd reason...

Hope you won't get mad but I agree . . . at first I though she was a guy
but despite of what she looks like, this artwork is absolutely AMAZING! I love how you colored the cloak and the hair I wish you were my teacher

Lipstick, headband, hair. That shine is just plain rockin'. Nah, it's a masculine She, but a she none the less. ^_^ I think we're all just used to seeing those she-males all over the site. ^^ But good work with those eyes - you can feel the glare. ^^

WWJD-Dingo [2004-08-17 02:46:32 +0000 UTC]

Woah, that's so cool. When I first looked at it, I was scared. Not because it was ugly, but rather it is powerful. The eyes, there's just something about the eyes. They really pull you in. And it's like she's looking right at you!

Moreover, I knew it was a woman. So yeah. *nods*
But I do see how it could also look like a man. I think it's beacuse of the facial structure. It's real rigid and wide, traits usually used on male faces. The detail in the neck and above the chest are also fairly hard-lined.

But other than that, I think it's very nice. *nods* Yeah, that's my good-points/bad-points for ya. ^^'

Wow, thanks for the indepth comment, and how you pointed out both your likes and dislikes!

Both help me improve as an artist. *cough*

Or a doodler. Yeah, that describes moi.

I hope you post more soon, whether poetry or art.

I love both

Ha, thanks. I do hope to become at least somewhat active here again. *crosses fingers*

I appriciate when people tell me the good and the bad of a peice, so I attempt to do the same as well. In fact, I much rather people say "This need to be fixed" than they're saying "Wow, I really like it." I want to improve work much more than I want to be flattered. *shrugs* But that's just me. ^^'

Nice job on the close up, nicely detailed. Love the expression.

You chose an interesting color scheme. You would think the colors would look awful together but you pulled them off really well.

The layout is nice, the way she's off centered and coming out of the page.

You're really good with highlights and shadows. The colors stand out so well.

Must I threaten you again? You will not stop drawing!! *glare* You're too good to stop. XP

Tsukihana [2004-08-16 23:34:39 +0000 UTC]

nice closeup of a face! You really did the details of the face nicely, like the dark-glarey eyes. great job shading her neck and collar bone! That's some good detail there. I love how your characters have great hair color! I like all the shades of blue in the hair. I think you pulled off the difficult angled-pose really well. props to you!

and it doens't look like a drag queen! you and you're crazy ideas. it definitely looks like a girl!

I love different hair colours. Brings more attention away from other crap parts of the anatomy.



Your hair styles are better. I love the lime green of that one dev you did recently.

damphyr [2004-08-16 22:48:27 +0000 UTC]

There's actually some REALLY cool things to this. You're really getting your shading down, you just need to learn how to apply it to other areas. That nose is INCREDIBLE. Look at it, it's really coming forward, toward the viewer, sticking off the picture plane. The collarbone looks incredible too, and the purple cloth is really shimmering, very lovely. There are some odd elements to it, but you're doing a great job challenging yourself. You've got individual things down, the nose is gret, the lips are great, but you've just not quite been able to make them work together. Keep pushing yourself, it's the way you're going to improve. Nice work.

Faulken [2004-08-16 18:55:50 +0000 UTC]

Very nice-way too hard on yourself
A pretty cool scratchy on the hair and the eyes, whilst a soft fabric texture for the clothes

The hair is really nice and that shade of blue is definitely the right colour for it
A little masculine looking as you said, but I wouldn't put it as badly as that-the figure just has heavy set eyes and looks much more scowly, still keeping an heir of femininity about her in a fantasy gypsy sort of look

Don't let one dis-satisfied attempt put you off your drawing, you clearly have a lot of talent, and if ya don't try the more adventurous shots, I guess you'd never know

She kinda reminds me of a gypsy actually ^^ And I think nose piercings are usually positioned on the bit which can flare out... If you get meh But, as per usual, you draw the hair so well, and the textures. Gah, envy >.<
