This picture, while I will admit does not usually fit into what I look for pictures, finding this amongst the submissions in DarkArtists, has struck some interest in me in giving it a once over and, though I was not originally interested in giving a critique, the last person who did so, was not so much as giving a critique, which is an examination and helpful advisory comment, and was just ogling the woman in said picture, rather then giving some honest complements and criticisms in giving this artist critical advice so they may improve and grow up; the whole point of a critique.

And where shall I begin with this piece~

I will admit that this...picture can be a very nice medium for men, and woman, who look at things to make them aroused and/or appreciate the figure of a person's body, I frankly do not believe these mediums come anywhere near to being considered as *art* and more as erotica, which relies less on actual talent and the pleasing knowledge of how to draw, edit, etc, and leans back heavily on our sexually driven world as a crutch to gain a certain amount of popularity.

That aside, there are some positive things in this picture. The lighting, for instance, does help and represent a minor factor in helping to give this a forceful flavor, however, this character's dress is easily the heaviest motivator for that, so the background and lighting although are not necessary, they do compliment the picture and work together.

And that's about where the positives land. The largest negative things you have here is the amount of skin and the way she is dressed. She looks less like a some kind of hunter, I'm assuming what this artist was going for, and more like a woman preparing for kinky bondage. Hunters do not dress, nor look, remotely, like this. Had you removed the gun, and shifted more purpose towards that aspect, I could have perfectly seen the goal and you would've reached it, but there is a mixed feeling here, grossly similar to how certain anime woman are put in heavy rolls but put as sexually revealing as possible to perform the role of fan-service...

And what is this, censoring of the nipples there? Talk about even *more* confusion. Anyone who would be looking for this stuff would look at this detail and feel offed. You've already exuberantly exposed a good percentage of this woman, this censorship of her nipples is *so* unnecessary and honestly works against you. Either cover the better part of the breasts so it makes sense, or don't. This honestly confuses the onlooker and makes them wonder why they aren't there, which detracts from the focus of the picture...

Aside from this, there are a lot of small details as well such as the goggles look odd for the shape of her head and face. Don't get me wrong, you can have goggles and they look good in many situations, but it's also beneficial to find ones that seem to fit with the altogether presentation of the character. These feel out of balance with her and those little white tubes? What are they? Again, unnecessary and as for the hair...I'm going to leave it at the point that it should remain black. The blue would have worked...had there been more blue to ascent the picture.

All-in-all, for fan-service works, erotica and such, I could very well see this in there and it has every right in being there. The overall goal is slightly confused but not to such a degree that one cannot enjoy it greatly and, with all rights, this is a beautiful girl, and I cannot honestly say that I was not aroused a bit by this. But there are many problems with this picture that, once they surface, and we're not staring at her breasts any longer, just take away too much from it.

I know that this feels like an attack and I apologize...but the previous critique was being too nice and I honestly feel that this picture, in no way shape or form, is dark nor has any business calling itself that. Provocative? Sure. Unique? Somewhat. A terrifying/depressing/thoughtful piece? Not even close...

The dark almost stony tones of the background are a great compliment to the dark and destructive tone she sets with her pose. The cool color of her hair adding to the sense that she's a calculating killer. The flesh toned body suit covering her, sharing space with the leather gives the feel of someone who's no longer holding onto humanity, disregarding biological needs or functions for the sake of using her weapons more efficiently. However, while she carries the semblance of humanity, you get close and she cuts you out by covering her eyes. Denying you the once chance to see anything human before she puts the bullets to you. Dark.

I apologize, but I would have to disagree with this critique, if one could even call it that, not for any harsh detail on the picture itself, but by this person's comment...it's more like a fan-boy drooling over a piece of work, rather then giving an honest effort to look at this piece and pointed out what needs possible work and evaluating the balance between it's good and bad points, of which I shall do for you now and give you a *real* critique...

I appreciate your differing viewpoint. But there is no reason to assault my critique. Or my particular style in critiquing the work. Simply give your judgement on the piece. Your opinion on the work was requested, not on my viewpoint of the work.

My apologies for offending you on this matter, but clearly you were not giving a critique. I doubt anyone would have said anything against it, which is why I took it as a service to do so, and went further to write my own...of this course, this only works had she had kept it, which I tried to be objective...but apparently nobody accepts "critiques" anymore unless they're drooling over their work...not any kind of criticism, as it should be

The photoshopped lack of nips is a little strange. Its not a latex suit. You can see the tattoo very clearly and the are no seems Β It might have worked better if she a had a bandeau or some type of skintight cropped shirt underneath her the leather for coverage. Overall the lighting and the photo are still awsome
