Description
I got inspired to design some new mage armor while playing Dragon Age 2... I mean, how conspicuous are all those apostates running around, c'mon.
This is actually an older version of my Warden from Origins, not a Mage!Hawke. As of today, she has been formally rechristened Lirathy Ostril (formerly Amell).
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Murray Ostril: "They Don't Sleep Anymore on the Beach" may or may not be related to this. ;D
It's really hard for me to 'request critiques' because I always can find so many things I screwed up on/am not happy with... but this is definitely the first thing I've done that I feel I've invested enough time into to make it sorta worth it.
I just got to a point where I knew it wasn't going anywhere else (I started it like a month ago and haven't done much to it since then), so I could definitely use some help/nudges to finish it up, or advice for the next one, or whatever. ^^

As for constructive critique, I'd say that she has more manly features, very small waist and large shoulders, and that her torso is pretty long (like a man). But if you intended it, that's not a problem then ^^ Apart from that, your painting skills are always impressive !

I think I probably exaggerated it a little too much oops hehe... but thank you!

Well, I can say some things, if ya want.
1. her torso is supposed to be that long? I mean, yeah, I've encountered women with long bodies and narrow hips. But, y'know for a human hips are just... slightly wider than that.
2. hands supposed to be slightly larger - hands usually take up three quarters of face (for women) and 4/5 for men 
3. is it just me, or the heel is visible only on one boot? it looks kinds like a platform on right one.
4. face is perfect. Meh, you're always good at painting faces.
I could name your robe design as 'Anders' for women'

thanks so much for the feedback! 
1. that's a good catch... it was actually somewhat intentional, more of an aesthetic decision, but I probably went too far. She's supposed to have more of a boyish sort of body type--but combined with her wearing her belt awful low it did turn out looking a bit odd. xD
2. thank you for pointing that out! I hadn't even noticed that.
3. no, I doubt it's just you-- I had the hardest time getting everything sort of symmetrical haha
4. thank you! ^^ (it's actually the only thing I worked on from a reference xD)
that was quite helpful-- thank you very much!! I can definitely use everything you've said.

I would have liked something other than all those full-length robes for mages, too! thanks. ^^ at least they did better with the hats this time around, though. ;D
