Description
Shortly after I created Elisa, my thrill-seeking mage, I discovered X-23 thanks to the now dead Facebook game "Marvel Avengers Alliance", and I thought she looked a lot like Eli, so since then there has been a lot of ingame jokes about Eli and X-23. Since I got a drawing of her where the artist made her look a lot like X-23 I wanted to push the joke a bit further...Though I didn't want her to look like the real X-23 at the same time... So drawing her with her new haircut (drawing TindomielSilverthorn 's characters made me want a character with a sidecut sooo badly) was a good opportunity for that.
I used this photo of Cristina Scabbia as a reference, and I basically left most elements as they are because it was so perfect!:

I hope you like her!

Nice! I have never been to one of their concerts but it'd be cool. I watched some of their live performances and they are one of those groups that sound much better live!

I saw them once some years go. They're excellent live!

Cristina looks more contained on the studio versions, but live she goes wild and it's amazing.

Without colours it's still a really awesome piece!! Love her hair, the sidecut looks so detailed and realistic!!

Thanks, I really wanted to give a sidecut to one of my characters! Reya might get one too!

I think it would be very fitting for Reya, actually!

Might doodle her that way and see!

Wow, hello there miss BadAss! xD Deffinetly wouldn't mess with her
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahahaha, she's much less dangerous than she might seem, because she's more likely of intimidating you with her curse words and her brass personality than to kick your ass, but she loves her badass attitude XD

I 've been a litle out of the loop so I haven't really seen a lot of your latest stuff...I like this one, the claws remind me of Wolverine whose one of my fav ex-men, along with Rogue, Beast and Storm, I like her punky look and she reminds me of one of my ghosts Staria in her dress and attitute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice! And her claws are actually based on X-23's, and she's the female clone of Wolverine!

I like how you shaded certain area's like in the middle of the forearm and neck.Plus I like how the skull looks because it doesn't seem flat on the shirt.

Thanks so much! I am still experimenting with this kind of shading!

I congratulate you, you are a great artist, your art is beautiful

The left hand looks a little small and both arms seem a touch too thing, but on the whole the anatomy is pretty accurate. I think the shading is too harsh though. You really shaded a few areas, but everything else is white so it looks a bit weird, especially near the neck where you have a lot of shading that sudden turns to white without much in between.

Thanks for your feedback, I am still experimenting with this style so I still have a lot to learn.

Hey Leila, thanks for your faves Though they weren't necessary, I just realized I had not seen your gallery completely and found some nice stuff I liked much
Then I saw you requested feedback so I'll try (no need to comment or fave for that):
First of all I like your linart much, its so clean and expressive at the same time. I think the shading is quite perfect already, especially the hair looks great! I would only do two minor corrections on the anatomy: I believe the right eye could be moved a tiny bit lower and to right side. And the right upper arm seems to be a little too short - but this could also be a perspective thing. But I really had to look carefully to find anything to comment as your anatomy is very good already
Hope this was helpful!

Thanks so much for the constructive critique!
I didn't actually fave in return or something. I just remember to check out people's galleries from time to time and then I wonder: how come I have never faved this piece?
Sometimes I do that when someone gives me feedback or faves, but it's not like doing it in return, I just remember to check them out at that moment. Today I had some free time that I don't usually have so I went on a rampage faving, commenting and cleaning notifications... And I still have more than 100 to check!

Ah okay just thought you were returning because you posted something about fave trading coincidentally
And wondering why I didn't fave some art is exactly what I often feel There's just too much awesome stuff around. So good luck on your mission

Yeah, too many amazing artists around!

This piece looks great! She seems like a fierce character, which you made evident through her well expressed expression 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I made the lines on her right hand correctly on pencil but my hand slipped when inking and I couldn't correct the mistakes, so she has a strange finger xD.
And yeah, she's a rather fierce person, though she's not prone to violence, she's just rather brass and straightforward.

Ohhh I hate when that happens with me xD!! You can correct mistakes with some software maybe for the future

Thanks for the clarification that this is Eli... I'd hate to be constantly refering to her as 'Not X-23'
Nice work of the definition in her hair and arm muscles, and with little detailing + shading needed for the latter. Well done.
From a constructive point of view, I kinda agree with Olyvee regarding the 'grabbing hand' perhaps being a bit smaller in relation to the other, but then again I'd advise against listening to such comments from someone whose skills with anatomy and proportion are below mediocre (for the record, I'm referring to me, not her 
A shirt with flames... oh yeah... uh huh... I see what you did there
I'm also particularly delighted by the knowledge of who you used as a referecne. Love me some Lacuna Coil
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh yes, I love Lacuna Coil, and Cristina's body shape and complexion is rather perfect for Eli. I might use Alissa White-Gluz for Mandy, if I get to draw her too, as I am already using her as a "voice reference" for Mandy.

I really think you're getting better at your drawings just by looking at this piece
I specially love how you shaded her hair and the textures I see a bit on her pants and shadows around the whole piece. Very well done!

Thanks so much for the feedback, it really helps! I try to practice as much as I can even if it's difficult to stay at it while working full time. But I am glad that you feel like I am improving ,^—^

I understand, well, it seems that your effort is paying off

I really like how you did the hair! Not sure if those are blades she has in her right hand but they're also shaded real well to give a polished look. Love the contrast of B&W here!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, they are blades, wolverine-like claws, as they are inspired on X-23's.
Thanks for the nice words!

I see, cool- and you're welcome!

I saw your post on this asking for critique so I am going to give it my best!
I love the way you do your fine strokes for shadow especially on her shirt and around her arm.
Her glance is very intense and the haircut is amazingly realistic.
I think what is missing here would be some drastic lightning source.
On the reference the light comes from behind and front which looks amazing with digital effects or the use of markers/airbrushes but it doesn´t help much here.
The use of a lightning source coming from top or upper left side would give her more character or even give this drawing a bit more story/atmosphere.
Also I would draw the lip lines less thick and maybe even let them break at some points.
Hope this was helpful for you. It is just my opinion though!
I need nothing in return. Just wanted to give you something back <3

Thanks so much for your constructive feedback, it's greatly appreciated! I am still practicing shading with ink, as I usually lined but didn't use a lot of shading, so I know that I am making some mistakes, but learning is being fun ^^
And I will comment but not in return, but because I want to XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are very welcome <3 Ask me anytime if you need another opinion!
I wouldn´t call it mistakes let´s say it like Bob Ross and it is only happy accidents happening that make things more interesting and change them up haha <3
But I know traditional art is very unforgiving regarding mistakes especially when your medium is ink!
You are doing a great job on the shadows with ink that´s why I suggested playing around with it more. Or maybe get a neutral grey marker to make it easier? Just an idea!
Aww <3 Thanks I will try to keep commenting also
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a good idea, though I want to see how far I can take these pictures just with a black ink pen ^—^

At first I didn't know what was on her face but i saw that they were chopsticks, or maybe wolvering like claws? i'm still not quite sure XD Anyway this is very nice, anatomy is great ane the shading is good as well. I have a few problems with it though, for one I think the cleavage is a little too darkly shaded compared to everything else. Especially near the top, it should be lighter at the top and darken as you go down. I also feel you could make the lines of the shirt thicker to define it more. Other than that nice job!!
