Description
My second try at the contest AND at making a chibi xD
I feel this time went much better :3
The OC this time is sort of a evil queen persona but with a modern touch.
Didn't really take inspiration from anything in particular.. I just like side-cuts and magic.

Hey, I'm from ! I gotta say, I really like how this came out! Overall, I think the royal design you've chosen for yourself is really neat! The color scheme (cream/white, gold, and green are one of my favorite color combinations~) for the dress and it mixes well together overall! The design for the staff looks really neat as well, and I love the skulls floating away from it to signify that she's evil. I also adore the modern touch for her design, it gives it a unique style rather than the traditional style for medieval characters. A couple of things I'd suggest, however! Where her left arm go? D: I'm not sure if it's supposedly going through her hair or behind her back (both are fine!), but I'd suggest determining where her arm is going. I'd also suggest in overall anatomy to attempt a dynamic pose (i.e. showing motion in the body) to really show what her intentions are as an evil queen. >;3 I'd also suggest a minor cleanup for the shading, just for the sake of craftsmanship.
Nevertheless, I think this piece is amazing! Good luck in the contest!

Awww thank you for the comment! :3
yes, I do see the arm is being a problem, and thank you for suggesting a more interesting pose xD
I do see her being cooler if she leaned back a bit and aimed the staff up close at you,
but this was my second chibi attempt, so I wanted to keep it simple xD
BUT nevertheless a big help and inspiration for my possible third attempt <3 thank you!

And I have to say, WOW!
The colors, the shading, the adorable face! This is ever so cute and gosh, just so amazing looking!
I absolutely love her eyes, and her hair is gorgeous! the beads on her puffed sleeves and the lights on her clothes is an amazing detail! I like her staff as well, it all looks amazing!
I do have to say that at this angle she looks like she's missing an arm! ;^; At some angles the arm would not be seen but this doesn't seem to be one of them, so I think your piece would look better with her arm being shown.
Her shaven head also looks too bare from character design perspective in this chibi form. So I'd suggest adding more detail to her side cut~ Just more detail to the face over all, haha

Hello :3
Thank you for your comment! And yes, I do agree with both the details and arm.
Will keep in mind for next time. I was just sort of hoping to not have to do the other arm I guess xD

Heyy!! I'm Mack from
This is absolutely gorgeous! The shading and lighting really follow the curve and flow of the character very well and you can easily tell where the light sources are. So I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you're going for a more chibi anime style. Which is respectable. But in almost all cases of art, there has to be balance. Sometimes people make the chibi heads too big or the bodies too thin and small which would lead to either a broken neck or not being able to stand properly. Although I can't see the body because of the dress, I'll just say that maybe you could make the arm a little less thin because it looks unnatural compared to the overall proportions of the rest of her. The next thing I'm going to give advice on is the face. Basically the entire figure, from the hair to the many details on the dress, look like they've had a lot of effort poured into them, which is great! But the face seems to be lacking. This can probably be fixed by adding things like highlights to the cheekbones, tip of the nose, and eyelids!! Overall, this is an amazing piece and I can't wait to see more!

Thank you very much for the feedback! :3
Like you saw, this is my second chibi ever, and also an entry for the maplestory contest, which is why I tried to do it in their style (but ended up as a mix). I do appreciate you pointing out the arm! I can see it now that you did, and if I did a chibi again I would probably change the proportions a little. The chibis of Maplestory is, from what I can see, at a 1:2 level, where the head is almost half the chibi, so I tried to recreate that, tho mine is probably a little more slender and longer then theirs. This is also why I haven't put any highlight or texture on the face, which is what their characters also look like. Very plane face. (something that annoyed me too a bit xD)
Thank you for taking the time to write such a good critique tho :3 appreciate it <3

Of course!! I'm happy to give critique to people who take it well!
I used to be a very loyal MS player so I can understand the style attempt. <3
