it did start out as the following image from a while back (doesn't feel that long but i think it might have been...) and it was supposed to be a vampire/angel hybrid type thing. i might make it more vampirey again if the mood takes me. anyway i got a graphics tablet and was using this pic to test it and stuff. 
so anyway the remake i decided to go all angel just for practise etc and stuff. the only major problems at the moment are the head and wings (yeah i know... they're not there yet). just felt like posting it for some HARSH crits and ideas for creativity and the rest =D. any edits and colours appreciated too if anyone feels the need.
its hopeless looking for reference for angel wings for the pose i'm aiming for.... all i ever find is the cliche still-wings and stuff. i want flying!

"the only major problems at the moment are the head and wings"
You forgot the body and the legs...
Ouch. Yeah, maybe that was a bit too harsh. Oh...
EDIT: You forgot the body and the legs... j/k 
Seriously though... I think you have too much negative space in this newer version. The original was better in that regard. Also, the anatomy could use some work... I'd suggest looking for some reference or even posing in the mirror and just looking at how your own body is. I'm not really good enough to post an overpainting or tell you how it should be, but right now it seems that you draw the muscles without an understanding of what's underneath them. Maybe using guidelines or simplified shapes ( cones and cylinders ) to make a frame underneath would help? |

i'm not sure i fully follow you when you say negative space although i think i catch your drift. not really enough filled in and too much space around the outside yes? thanks for the crits and i DID say harsh so fair enough, although i still don't see whats so wrong about the legs and body, remember this was more rough and i DO pose in the mirror and stuff at times...... did i mention its a WIP  ???
also.... there are bones underneath that muscle =P. that enough understanding!?
(well i thought it was coming along better than the first version anyway.... ah well)
keep the crits coming pleasy, even if i argue with them
