This is a picture I have been working on for quite some time. Its pencil lineart colored in photoshop, and a BG in photoshop. Its taking me close to a month to finish it, not because its that good, but just because I cant find much free time to CG cause of work. Anyway I was hoping someone could point any errors, and perhaps tell me what they thought of the general appearance of the picture so far. Im not too happy with it, although I cant say Im not either.

nice pic- i think the character is drawn really well, i love the ribons. I think the background isnt as strong as the figure though. I like the sparseness of it but i think the cloud is too obtrusive and the sky may be a little too dark, also is that a fire in the background, you may want to bring it a little closer so its more visible. but all in all this is a nice pic

A. you need a nore clearly designated light source direction.
B. De-saturate the colors in the background, they are conflicting with the main figure.
C. Stronger shadows
D. Blur or Gausian blur the clouds edges, maybe even wisp-smear it into the blue.

The actual construction looks good, as for composition the the eye motion is too parallel because of the symetrical backgroud. Try introducing some flowing bansai type trees to sweep the motion from the sky to the ground then up to the figure, using also the shadows to make this connection.

Hope that is helpful

The picture looks great... but look at those arms god damn... make them more elegant, and the picture will be perfect.
