Description
Something different, for once! ^^Two days ago a bad thunderstorm tormented my town for about three hours, and since the bad weather had provoked a blackout and I wasn't able to use my PC, I started sketching randomly... and this came out! I scanned it later, anyway, just to practice with shading and folds, but it eventually became a way to play a little with water and reflections... I'd never added that kind of water before, I had so much fun while doing it!
So I kept colouring and adding more and more particulars (er... according to my standars XD) and... well, why not? I hardly colour original art and I'm glad I can finally add a new piece [of me] in my gallery! (:
I know it's not perfect and the lineart is too thin, but... I really hope you like it! *___*

This is insanely beautiful. Everything is so realistic, and peaceful. The woman, is absolutely beautiful in different ways, and she looks powerful on the water, somehow I don't know why. This art, is going to my favorites.

He torso looks a little long, and her hands look a tad manly...

This is a nice shot! It kind of reminded me of Ariel from the little mermaid.....
One thing though, unless she is springing into action, her pose is not steady. Is she running around?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, she's at the end of a jump and is ready to spring again. :3
Thank you!

I think it's fair to say that you've done it again. You did very well with taking a random sketch and just continuing to build on it. And again, your willingness to experiment with a new technique pays off here. I would say I'm surprised, but this is starting to feel normal now with your work.
I have to admit that I would love to know how you do folds. I think that's one of your strengths, and you're not afraid to create such an outfit design and work on so many folds. It's impressive how you managed to pull off the look here. I also think you did pretty well with the water on your first try; the reflections came out quite nicely, and I think you'll only get better with that.
I agree with you on the lineart, but despite being thin, I think it's one of your better ones recently. I find the lines here a little less shaky than usual, actually. In fact, if I may, I would say lineart is really your biggest weakness right now, and while I don't know what methods you use for your lineart, I suspect this is something you'll start improving on in due time.
...Oops, this comment was a little longer than I wanted it to be. Anyways, whether it's original or fan art, you find ways to keep things fresh. Very nice work, as usual.

Folds?
You're totally right, my linearts are always a bit unclean; this is because I trace the sketch in Photoshop free hand, and it's obvious that the hand can't stay completely steady while doing this process. The alternative would be to trace them with the pen tool, but it's such a boring work! :'D I'll try to be more accurate with the brush, anyway, hoping that I'll be improving a little by... the end of the year, let's say.
Thank you very, very much for your comment, always lovely!
