Isn't she HOT?
He he, yes it's her again.
Hope, you won't get bored. Those things on the arrow are supposed to be "explosion note", I was too lazy looking for the japanese character for it, so i drew something else instead. It's a cut version here, if you want to see the full size one click the following link. http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/.../Bkunoichi.jpg Warn!!! full size for 16years and older.

looking good,
I have two critiques, both of which I fall victim to myself: shading is too soft IMO, this is an easy problem to create and a semi-easy problem to fix. it's 'caused by using to large of a brush to shade/hilight an area and it shakes up the perception of reality because it makes the brush strokes too obvious (i.e. you can 'see' the brush you used, as opposed to the shape of hilight you wanted). to fix it takes more time spent with a smaller brush, or not shading with brushes at all (look into 'cuts' for quick non-brush shading, as well as other lasso tricks). the second problem, which still plagues me to this day, is 'focal saturation'. your picture is very vibrant, this is a great thing, but the problem comes from putting hilights of the same intensity across the entire picture. for instance: the hilights on her extended arm/helmet should probably be the brightest, almost going to white here. but the problem comes when the hilight on her side reaches the same intensity level. if you want to see good examples of someone who is a master at controlling their focal saturation, look up Danimation on DeviantArt. he makes me cry. beyond that I think you've got some great stuff going here, good color choices (especially the skin), nice lines, themes, etc. keep at it! |

I reedit previous post so that it leads to what i call the "final version"
Actually i can't see the pb with the brush stroke even on my two 19" crt iiyama. I may need glasses (possible) or i shall send a complaining letter to iiyama. I go black n white this time coz, i like playing between the colors so that it displays well on my crt and to my eyes, but some people notice me the problem about it. So in the future i'll post 2 versions of my work : colored and BnW. Still pb with the shade shape. I shall try drawing them first in the future and not adding them in the end. Well, i shall buy a tablet. Feedbacks still welcome, but i'll consider them for my future pics. I'm stopping about this work b4 it's spamming. |

I'm just gona critique a bit, please don't take it to heart. ^^
About the highlight spot on the first picture is kinda strangely placed. A person doesn't exactly reflect a highlight spot like that. Not every object reflect highlight spot. For stuffs like metalic like weapon or armor are ok, but for skin and cloth usually they don't reflect lights that much (less gradation) so you can actually skip some of them, unless you are planning to make the skin looks oily or wet. The 3rd picture looks alot better because you didn't have any drastic highlights like in the first two pictures. To put it bluntly the first two pictures she looks like a plastic doll while the 3rd picture she looks more believable like a real person. For human skin, it's better when the color spread evenly and add darker spot for shadows only. Specially female characters, evenly spread color will look softer and sexier. Think of it like you were trying to aply make-up on her, you want the make-up not too little and not too much either. Something like that. ^^ |
