Artist's Comments

Another quick upload that requires little to no time.

Part of the 'Kick your own @$$' competition.

I'm entering the 'All Digital Paintings, Drawings, Pixel Art, 3-Dimensional, Vectors, and Vexel images category' .

The Old art was done a year ago in 2008. At the time I was extreamly proud of the anatomy and the hair. I thought the shading was great though I wasn't sure on how to draw humans and the face, well, looks just odd.

The New is a great example of how doodling humanoids (mostly my friends and I's D&D characters) had helped me a lot. The face is less weird, the anatomy has improved a little but still has SO much room for improvement. I'd also spent a year staring at the art of the people who draw characters like this for a living so my attention to details, mostly on the costume, was spiked just a bit. I'd also worked just a bit harder on the background to make the picture a little more interesting.

Hopefully I can do this again next year and have improved even more!

Good great Scott! :ohnoes:
This shows your improvement on sooo many levels. Lighting, shading, colors, anatomy, background, DETAIL!:heart:
I love how you still have a style even with this huge improvement! Good luck with the contest. I hope you get good comments because you deserve every single one.

OH ho ho! I hadn't heard of this challenge. I remember when you drew the first one. It was amazing, but honey you've added about 15 new layers of awesome onto your style since then. <33 There are still things you can work on, of course, but I'm confident that you'll find them, fix them, and keep getting better with every picture you post.:thumbsup:

A couple areas in the new picture look a little flat - maybe around her knees/lower legs? Also, her connection with the background is still a little shaky. I know you're still working on backgrounds, so I can understand, but it's something to watch out for. :)

Love the lighting! Love the METAL. Your textures are coming along nicely - great anatomy and attention to detail. <3 The way you shade skin is superb.

Especialy the colours have improved from a cartoony style to a more realistic. Keep moving on up.

Ah, I got tired of it. I need to make a new one but I'm a bit behind art-wise and I've no spare time for anything. ^^;
