Very nice overall lighting, great castle, well... great background, it's the part of the pic I like the best.
The tree looks kinda flat and her breasts look like warheads

Keep up the good work!

Great, that warhead look was pretty much what I was going for..

Very cool pic! I really like it a lot.
Only one thing though...

where's the beer?

Wow, breathtaking!

The proportions on the castle are slightly off (the perspective is wrong), and there are a few little tiny things in the face that don't seem quite right... but I mean, I certainly could not do better, I'm just trying to give you some constructive feedback. I LOVE the lighting, and I love the mood of the pic, it's very summerish.. makes me wanna go on a picnic... with beer.

the resident caustic bitch / the owls are not what they seem.

It's like.. most of her outfit is clothy, and tight and stuff. And around the boobies they are suddenly shiney and plasticy, with a shine not found anywhere else on her outfit. I'm not saying i wouldn't still plop it in though.

Yeah, the castle seems a bit off but maybe the cliff is sinking.

very nice

the only thing i see wrong (besides for the castle)is her hair. Onher right shoulder, it looks really stiff. Unless she put a lot of hair spray on, both of her pony tail should give into gravity a little more, with maybe a few more strands of hair comin out. Good work!

Awesome pic. The colors and shading are great.

I really don't see anything wrong with the pic, besides the face. I think the castle looks great, despite the odd perspective. But there are a few things that bother me about the face. I think the mouth needs to be angled down more. More slanted. It doesn't have the right perspective. Also, I personally think that the top lip should be bigger, and the nose should shorter. I think those things would make her look more feminine. It's tough to explain exactly what I mean, so I made a quick edit of your pic to show what I mean:

Just my opinion, though.

Solid cool artwork ! Way to go Death !
Um, is the chick suppose to be Chinese? She looks Latin to me. Especially her eyes, or maybe she's a 'cross-breed'.
The vegetation on the cliffs looks more like fungus to me.
Wait a minute ! Is the setting of this scene in China or Japan ? If i'm not mistaken, that's a Jap style palace over there. Sorta like, what's the name....er, the Akasaka Palace? Chinese palaces are usually colored in red.

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it! and thank you VERY much Tinusch. You helped me figure out what was wrong with the face. So I did some touching up, and this is what I came up with

And also, the setting of this scene IS in Japan, and that castle in the background I fixed up a little bit, although the refrence image I used looked somewhat tilted, like I drew it.

Thanks again for the comments!

Mr Weasel · Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2000 9:40 pm

Pardon my critical nature, DeatGrip, but what's a Chinese chick doing in Japan ?

DeathGrip · Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2000 9:57 pm

Why visting her Japanise boyfriend of course

no actually she is Japanise herself, I got the idea of drawing her from a japanise anime - Yohko, Devil Hunter.

Mr Weasel · Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2000 10:07 pm

Then if she's a Jap, why is she wearing Chinese clothing instead of a kimono ? (Sorry, again. Couldn't help it)

Dakkan · Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2000 11:40 pm

hmm... maybe it's just me, but isn't that tree kinda small? unless she's really big, that would make sence, hehe. Newayz, great pic

You'd think giant kung-fu chicks with torpedo breasts could get more beer.
