awesome character! I just had to check out her deer-like bodyparts as soon as I read she is a deer-centaur! Is she part of a story or something?

I really like her look, with all the piercings and bold make-up! I'd love to see more of her! She has a great smile - though I am not sure if I would call it a smirk - A little smirk maybe... She is smiling with both corners of her mouth, you see. A smirk pulls up only one corner. but hey, it looks good on her, I wouldn't change it

Something you can focus on is a clearer source of light - based on what I've seen in your gallery, I know you can work with light already. With more light, you an play around more with skin tones and such, and I think it makes the pic more interesting to look at Also, the red background and the reddish-pink of her shirt and eyelashes is a bit clashing to me - though eyelashes in that colour is pretty awesome!

great pic and great character! keep up the good work!

Thank you for spending the time to comment c:

She isn't part of a story really, just came from a friend and I brainstorming some ideas. I'm glad you like her design though.

I see what you mean about the light source, its kind of all over haha. Do you have any ideas for what would be a more complimentary colour to use as a backdrop? If I remember right I had the red from the beginning because I wanted her skin to have a red undertone, but that doesn't mean I should have kept it necessarily.

you are welcome!

ahh, too bad - she looks like a lot of effort has been put in her, which is usually only the case for characters that are part of a story or something. 

ohh, that's a difficult one.  You could go for a strong contrast and pick something green, but I rather like the warm colours the pic has now... Maybe keep this red tone, but a bit less saturated? I'm not sure, this is something I can only figure out by just trying stuff out, and see what matches well with the colour of her shirt/eyelashes.

Nah, I'm not much of a writer. I just emjoy designing characters sometimes for fun.

Hmmm, maybe a reddish brown then?

edit:
I tried some different ones, what do you think?

ohh, wonderful! I think I'll go for the maroon one; it's still a warm colour, but not so bright it gets destructing
