Description Woah, I finished this in about a week! Best record so far. Though I'm still not satisfied with my work. The colour is kinda dull. It's SOFT and DULL. XD I need solid and bright colour techniques. hmmm...

Duration: 10 min (sketch) 1 hour (outline and base colour) 2-4 hours (colouring)
Program: Open Canvas 3.03e PLUS
Layers: 11
Original size: 960x720 pixels

This girl is Ridley Silverlake from Radiata Stories, an RPG game for the PS2, produced by Tri-Ace and Square-Enix. (famous creators of final fantasy and star ocean series) Ridley is a very interesting character... She's annoying at first, and later she acts really matured. Jack on the other hand is kinda like a stereotypical dumb protagonist. (reminds me of Luffy, Ueki, Yoh Asakura...)

Well anyway Ridley is cute too i like her costume. She has 4 different costumes throughout the story: At the beginning she wears simple clothing like a normal girl, and later as she joins the knights, she dresses like what you see in the game packaging xD And later, when she gets promoted to higher ranks, her costume changes again. When she runs away from the castle, she changes into a very cooler costume. And to add to the detail, her weapon axe changes with her costume too! Awesome huh? And in addition, her hairstyle changes to a certain degree. her last costume looks very matured compared to her first.

In this picture, I mixed up some stuff. The axe I drew was from her first appearance (beginning of story) and i drew the costume from when she first joined the knights. Oh well, I got lazy since i'm just a starter at weapon-art. xD

Radiata Story is something to really gawk about. The details of the world and characters are really something. Each and every character has unique and interesting costume and characteristics. There's more than 150 characters inside the game, so i can pretty much guess how much the producers spent in making the characters. Wow.

This is actually my favorite drawing of Ridley I've seen yet, I adore how you drew the face. Awesome job, I'm surprised this doesn't have more favorites!

Er... you can jus' ignore this if you want... but I think the head looks a tad too big compared to the body... like a li'l girl. ΒΊ_ΒΊ BUT! You don't have to take my word for it because I have a different way of viewing things, I don't even know how old she's supposed to be, I hardly ever post any deviations and your art skills surpass mine 100 fold. >_<;

This is a great picture, though. (I don't even know if this would help at all.)

xD yes the head is big compared to her body she's supposed to look like a little girl. But in the game, she's supposed to be 15 or 16. But ahh, her in-game character looks like a little girl anyway children tend to have bigger heads than their body huh? XD

oh, maybe i should have made her head bigger xD since she's a teen. thanks for the comment~!

That's so great! I love that coloring! If it was a cover for a product, I would buy it without giving a second thought! XD
I wish I could give the "Advanced Critique" thing, but that piece is way higher than my level of both art and critique.

Anyway, I'll try saying something useful for improvement. But it is more of a comment than a critique.
For me, the balance of the picture implies that she is standing as a guard pulling the axe to open. Also, that balance could mean she has just took the axe. This is because if I think where the axe meets the ground, it wouldn't be a position that she would put an axe to balance herself or the axe.
If the axe is short, then there would be no meaning for her to point the axe in that direction.

Hope that can be of some use. Keep amazing us X)

whee~ thanks a lot xD i'd be amazed if my amateur artwork is turned into a cover

Hmm, you observed in detail huh? I thought nobody ever cares about such detail. xD Indeed, it's like what you said. You can assume she just picked up the axe as she posed, but normally people wouldn't pose like that. The actual axe position would be out of the scene because in the game, the axe is roughly 3/5 of her height. And that is if it's in a vertical position, but normally people would hold the axe slightly lower. So basically in this picture, she is holding it just after she lifts it up, so there's less weight for a while whee for illogical physics.

your comments are of great value I hope to hear more from you and others too xD wheee~
