Description ** ENLARGE **
This is my first ever contest!
Though I doubt i'll even come close to the top 25, i have had a lot of fun working on this.
I just focused on the character rather than doing more on the background since this is a character contest after all

Hopefully this has been an improvement from my other digital work.


Cheers

You have definitely improved a lot in your artwork ^^

I think this is a very nice piece with a wonderful array of contrasting yet matching colors. The proportions are good and everything for your first human drawing e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

The only problem I think is the texturing. Improving on the skin texture and hair texture for example would allow us to better differentiate between the two and define the more realistic style you seem to be approaching.

Overall however, I think this stands a chance to win something in the FEZ competition e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> Good luck in winning it!

Great work! Keep it up e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

Very beautiful piece! Good luck in the contest. I agree with the critique by caroukuro in context of the skin. It seems to have an almost wooden appearance. My suggestion would be to use different colors for highlights, like blue or pink, to give it a more fleshy look. I love the hair and the shading on the clothes is amazing. I really like the lighting effect as well.

I think the proportions on her torso might be a little off canon. The light on the staff is a pretty excellent bit of contrast but it might distract from the rest of the image. Nice detailing on the tattoos, the feel like they belong on the image. I would have really liked to see a much more powerful color contrast. There is a little with the red/green dynamic, but I still feel there should be a little more to force the image off the picture plane and have it seem more powerful and imposing to the viewer.

She looks to be an imposing, colorful and nasty piece of work. I don't suppose she's the type of sorceress who rescues kittens in trees for children.

Congrats on finishing. I know a lot of work has gone into this.
I think you stand a good chance of entering top 25 because when I looked at the other entries, they were nowhere near your level XD.
However there are a few suggestions that I think would make the holistic impression better ~
1. Color composition seems a bit weird. Maybe to do with the skin tone and the ribbons?
2. A shadow will be awesome.
3. When you enlarge it, some of the the lights seem out of place, especially the white parts on the glove, the ribbon and boots?
4. Well the shape of the ribbon is kinda odd, but I guess it is supposed to be like that, nice work with the symbols on it though.
But again, what do I know about art?
I'm just being picky here.
Haha, good job, keep it up ^^.
