After making this one, I found it weird. Mainly because I used less ink than I usually do. I seem to have this obsession for "more black"; but on this one, nada...

I like the final product. Although, I feel a bit uneasy in the chest area.

You're thoughts are always welcome!

Thanks!

You really are doing a lot better than the last time we saw eachother. Definitely more experimental on your side. 3nodding here's just a sort of draw over I came up with.

I'm not sure if your friend was going for the skinny look when he/she thought of her avatar... but I usually prefer them to look slim and not border-anorexic... You know me... I don't like my girls looking flimsy. XD but pretty much just try to add more curves than edges to her. Makes a big difference just changing that.

That picture on the front is very stlylish O: < 3

The one thing that bugs me is I wish that she looks a bit more... actiony? I mean you're halfway there with her upper body and the background, but she also looks more static than she needs to be. I would like to see her legs bent a bit more? and also more curvature to the body... like have the entire body in more of one movement line.

Also the colors could pop a bit more wink but I know how scanners suck the life out of things.

Anyhow I really like where your art is going and good luck!

Thanks! I was aiming for just a static look for this one though. But I'll try to put more movement on my next work. mrgreen

Hmm I don't mean movent exactly X'D I'm not sure how to explain it in the correct terms, but she could be standing perfectly still but tensed and ready to go? D: Iunno. It's just that her upper body and expression seem really interesting and the especially that straight leg breaks it up a bit.

Ah! I think I know what you mean.

I really just wanted her to stand up like that since I got frustrated with action poses, and I wanted to finish the work as fast as I could. But now I see the difference of the upper area and the lower area. Thanks! I'll look out for that on future works! wink
