First of all...O.O WOW! (I just had to get that out of my system!)

The amount of detail that you've put onto this is incredible, and all the components of this piece play so well with each other!
The hybrid dragon character designs and poses are just fantastic, and the way that you've placed them in this picture looks great. It all makes for a wicked picture! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

I especially love how you've created the texture for Indi's tail to make it look so reptilian, while at the same time their hair looks really soft to the touch. I also really like how you've scattered the shines on this picture, to make this so vibrant!

Altogether, a great image with well placed and designed characters. Awesome work once again Indui ^^

Oh goodness, woman, how do you keep track of all that lineart D: If I drew something like that, something would bound to be colored the wrong color! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..." />

Anyways, the whole feel of the picture is great; very intense, the white outline contrasting with the purples and the reds makes both characters stand out really well. And I love the shading on Sin's tail, very three dimensional, great cast shadow from the spikes e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" /> Your mixture of shading is also very impressive; I can catch sort of a soft, painted feel and also several harder shadows; that's great, considering I see (and also am guilty of drawing) a lot of same-consistency shadowing on a lot of images. It gives it a good balance and looks much more realistic. The dragons (beasts?) and the hair also look very awesome. Love those wings, especially the detailed feathers!

Sin's limbs are a little confusing, though; I do see an arm, but I can't quite tell where it connects to the rest of the body, and I'm not sure if it's because of the neck being outstretched or the curve of the body or the shoulder being relaxed or whatever, but that really stands out to me. Also, the proportioning differences between Sin and Indi's faces are pretty drastic...Indi's face looks a little smushed together, while Sin's face looks well balanced (though you may want to make the forehead a bit larger)

All in all, a very nice piece. It flows quite well with the rest of your gallery. Personally, I would love to see more detailed backgroud work from you. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" />

HO wow , thank you very much for the critique !

Actually, the lineart was pretty easy to follow I had about 4-5 seperate layers of just the lineart so I could hide one character to concentrate on another.

AHH I KNEW someone would say something about Indi's face! XD haha honestly, her face was a mess at the beginning, and I spent at least 45 minutes trying to make it look decent, but it still does stand out a bit XP haha!

And I never noticed that about Sin.. hrm thanks for pointing it out, I guess now that I look at it more, the shoulders are way too tilted compared to her hips.

Anyway thanks again!! I really appreciate your comment!!

WillowEscapee In reply to indui [2009-09-01 22:31:25 +0000 UTC]

Oi, I only work with one layer of lineart or I'd be too confused >_>;

Faces are really difficult You have to get the features just right or it'll look like an alien, bleh

No problem

indui In reply to WillowEscapee [2009-09-02 00:21:06 +0000 UTC]

ugh, this one had about 250 layers D: my computer was lagging *kicks it*
and it was like, the first time I'd ever used more than one layer. I normally only use one layer for lineart too, but I had 4 charries... so I added more

ew I hate human anatomy *kicks it too*

WillowEscapee In reply to indui [2009-09-02 00:31:50 +0000 UTC]

indui In reply to WillowEscapee [2009-09-02 03:21:42 +0000 UTC]

mostly shading, I change opacity of layers a lot,.. and basically any new detail I add a new layer XD

60-70 is a good amount, I need to get around there XD

Yes. Yes you HAVE :'D And I am stunned into silence! -odd moment-
The first thing that really captured me is that hair It's so gorgeous and...hairlike (: -looks for her dictionary- D:
The dragons are actually amazing, how they blend into the background! The anatomy looks practically perfect O: The colours and shading absolutely astound me! I don't know what else I can say, except this looks like it should be a proffessional front cover!!!! I've missed your art while I was away <3

furawatchi23 [2009-12-21 22:19:02 +0000 UTC]

This is very well done! I love all the detail and colours. Amazing work. The only thing that I can critique on is that you shouldn't have put white shines on everything. It gives it this wet rubbery feel. I've seen another amazing artist whose style was similar to yours do the same thing.

Other than that, marvelous work! Keep it up!

THE EFFORT WAS WELL WORTH IT, MY FRIEND. I LOVE the colors and many little details placed here and there. :D And I like the overall red theme of the picture. eehee I'm a freak for color themes <3 Ohh, and the shading is really nicely done and the highlights are all shiny and plasticy and...ffffffffstuff. Yeah.
It's a bit cluttered and it's hard to tell what character is what and what goes where BUT THAT'S OKAY I LOVE MESSY PICTURES.
I love your work so much...it always makes me want to draw ;w;
