Critiques


:iconthe-prophet-of-chaos:
I have to agree with the other critics. They brought up some very good points. The rocks and leaves in the near background and the foreground need other colors added so they don't look so flat and they match the rest of the environment. There isn't any problem with the white in the water if you darken the rest of the water and maybe add some gold into the white. You need to make sure the scares carry on the shading. Where the skin is dark and a scar overlaps it the scar doesn't have any shading. The scars would darken as well. I have to say the thing that gets me the most is her eyes. The blue glow looks really hokey. Try reducing the blue glow a bit and add blue highlights where the glow would hit like on the hair and ridges on the face and horn. Otherwise the shading in the far background and on her skin is great. I really love the far background actually.

I was going to leave a crit, then accidentally closed the window, reopened this... and you've replaced it with a new version! I see you've changed the colors and made the lighting more interesting, it definitely looks better.

I've got to say, really wonderful work with the background, it's really nicely detailed without it being too cluttered. There's only one thing that bothers me in there: the white (or almost white) you used for the water. Supposing the environment she's in is very dark, I find that white a bit weird, out of place?

When it comes to Chianti herself, I love the pose you used, and I love her leaf skirt, it's great : D

What I wanted to comment on however, more than anything, is on the coloring style. It seems to me like you either used an airbrush or a very soft brush. I think that using a less soft brush would help you make the shading sharper, less vague.

You define shapes perfectly when you use traditional, so I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be a problem for you to do it in digital too.

I'm not too sure whether I'm making much sense, because I know what I mean but I can't explain it well D: Basically, what I'm trying to say is that very soft brushes are difficult to control when you want to define muscles, for example.

You can fix the problem easily next time, by either using that same soft brush for the shadow on a new layer BUT erasing some parts to make the shadows sharp and giving it some structure, or using a different, harder brush.

Overall I think you did a fantastic work and I hope to see more digital from you <3

I think it looks great considering how long it's been. By the way, the outfit design looks awesome.

That means it was a good piece then if you put that much energy into it. :nod:
:icononnaevilsmith:
Did this JUST for my portfolio and Demo Reel. It was worth it :3

Honestly, her eyes kinda creep me out. :P But I love the detail on her skin (especially her ears) and the leaves on her skirt.

Nice! It looks even cooler coloured.
:iconjeraldineschreiber:
Yesh, finally DIGITAL WORK!

Sorry 'bout that, but I love your digitals so much better. Cuz they look more clean and focused. The leaves and the gnarled tree are amazing. :heart:

...But pSychiatric begins with a "P". Shouldn't she be called "C.R.U.P.H"? I'm being..."cruphed"?---Danny
:iconfirephoenixflame:
Have to agree with andrea-koupal. The shading needs to be pushed and a light source needs to be firmly established. We already know you can do that with your marker-colored pictures. No doubt that you can do the same here.

May I recommend my friend, :iconkimchicrusader: ? Her lighting and the way she uses color is very dramatic.

:3 Hope that helps!
