Description
Two or three months ago my friend posted this great deviation [link] of one of his character, the reborn goddes of light, Solari. I found it amazing (the three halos are a great idea).I asked hime if it was ok to drow something about her, and he said yes.
Here it is.
I waited 2 or 3 months for the right ispiration, but now I think I like it.
There is a white vrsion of this pic here [link]
24 hour of work and my first pic inked using the wacom.
Thank you 1000 times for the permission to use one of your great character. This pic is surely for you. I hope you like it.

YES! For once, the color actually matches the composition of the rest of the picture: it's brighter were the detail is focused, less-bright elsewhere. Makes it much easier to see and to understand what's most important about this drawing.
I was wondering, you have a tendency with your designs to draw dangling things, like charms and tassles and jewelry, going whichever way you want them to, completely independent of motion or gravity. And this is fine, it lets you draw the attention wherever you want to and make a better picture of the character, I wonder what sort of drawing you'd have if you didn't do this....
Not this kind tht's for sure, but this is a drawing of a goddess. A false goddess, but still.

SUBTLE WEN-M REFERENCE
No, it's good that some other artist can insipire you so much, but while looking through your gallery, there were tons of pictures looking just like Wen's. The problem is, you're copying his style too much. I am not defending Wen personally here, but artists in general. I wouldn't like if someone would copy my style. I would suggest adapting Wen's style to your artistic needs than making obvious references. Once or twice I thought I was looking through Wen's gallery, not yours. I am aware of it that you like Wen's work and style much, I don't doubt it. And I'm not bitching at you or anything, just giving some advice from a fellow artist.
That aside, this picture is just wonderful. Looks much better with black background.

Please listen, I think you are doing a big error.
I don't copy Wen-M.
My style is different from his own.
I like the way he uses decorations, BUT the way he makes anathomy is totally different like many others important things, the way I color, the way i Ink...
By the way, I don't think that ispiration is a sin in art, otherways how do you explain the huge amount of paintes during the 500 that referred to Leonardo and Michelangelo styles, like the great Savoldo, Pontormo etc, for istance. people calls them artists and doesn't say that the copied other people. Because they learned from the great masters and made something different. Remember that in art nothing is new.
From another point of view, if I would be so good than other people would start to thake references from my works I would only be glad I think. I never concealed the fact that I admire his works, but I have 10000000 others artists that ispires me every time.
That's why I can't accept your adice, sorry.

Oh, I apologise, my intention was not blame you or anything. I.. uh I just think your artwork looks similar to Wen's and I don't mean that it's a bad thing. I am sorry, I hope you're not angry to me

No, I'm not.
I just tried to explain my point of view writing what I think are good motivations. Hope you think differently of me now.
I think that every artist or artist in training, like me, has to learn a lot from the others.
BtW, I'm not even comparable with Wen-M. He is really a genius like Weyne Raynolds or Todd Lockwood in the character designing.
Just beeing able to produce pics that make people think of my personal heros is like a dream for me.

I must say, after all this time while you were absent you have cultivated your sense of style much more then it was. 5 points from 5.
