Description Stalker fan art for Ragnarok Online. I started this a good while ago, before I moved. I'm trying not to do so much fan art, but I really liked the pose and concept I had for this so I finished it.

I could have spent a bit more time refining some of the details like the fluff, but I have 2 other pieces I started and wanted to wrap this baby up. I'm really happy with the way the colors are working together.

EDIT: Almost forgot until Peachy mentioned it - originally the sketch had a dagger in her hand - the dagger never turned out as strong as the rest of the piece, and I eventually took it out.

I love this perspective! I like the flow as well, but if you wanted to add a little more dynamism you could lower the right side of the cape a bit to form a swoop like you did on the left sleeve. I really like the right hand, it works well. You could even put a dagger in it. The left hand, however, should have stronger perspective on it, even if she is pressing her hand to the ground. The fingers are also bent in a strange way. Try looking at references or looking at your own hands. Perspective like this is really tricky, but you pulled it off well! It's a priviledge to watch you grow. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

Thank you very much for the feedback!! I agree with everything you said - I also definitely still have a bit of trouble with those fingers. Time for more sketch exercises.

Yey, RO!
The pose looks wonderful! I really like that sort of smug expression she has! I also like that your blurred the back of her jacket to create the illusion of depth of field. The movement is great. That little streak of blood really helps carry the eye around the figure. Wonderful colour choices. Wonderful work! Love it!!
