Hello. I'm working on this painting in Photoshop. I know that it needs something because it's off balance. The clouds in the background are only in the early stages. What does the painting need?

hmm, first thing that pops out is the typography....it's too dark. and her lips seem too saturated.
I really dig the compostion though.
Maybe if you can get those gold rim thingies she's got on her head shine a little bit more?

hey autobot man, what this needs I think is a little composition. you say it's off balance, I agree. I think it's bad to have things so centered. I'd say, with the workds and all, you could have her on the left side of the pic, that way, it would look like she's looking on a lot further. The text would be better in a more contrasting area of light as well. Else? I agree with the saturation, also, her expression seems a little too uneasy, I think from the eyebrow forms. The only other thing that really gets me is the dark side of hte neck. it's a noisy mess. But, worth finishing up.

Hey, thanks for the crit, first of.

Vgta> yeah you're right about that, the lips are too saturated, but the type, I thought was too bright. I'll brighten it some more I guess.

Smothered> That's a great idea (don't know why I never thought of it myself)! I may even put in a crumbled tower overrun with Ivy behind, too. As for her expression though, She is supposed to look uneasy. She is a dark sorceresss and light can cause her a lot of pain. That's why she seems to be sorta melting on the right.
