Description
Posting it in scraps for opinions. Honestly I really like how the face is coming out, but the rest of it just really bothers me.To me, even if it is a card theres just too much blank space, and it takes away from the girl herself. Her costume is too plain in my opinion and it seems hard to color, partially because of the costume but also because of her size on the page. I do not like her pose anymore.
I would not have colored this in the first place because I was not happy enough with it, but because it was for Zambi's deck I continued it anyway. I'd really like some opinions.
Should I continue this? Or should I just start over?

Just have to say that the rat tipping the scales is a FABULOUS touch. Very meaningful, really.

What exactly made you change your mind on her pose, if I may ask?
To be completely honest, after much staring at her posture I think that it looks a tad stiff. But then, I'm no anatomy expert or anything, so probably I'm just rambling idiocies. 
As for her costume, well... I don't find it 'plain' at all. But I agree with what the other person said about making the marble (it IS marble, right?) background of a different, contrasting colour.

I like the actual pose, but the anatomy seems a bit off, and the angle of everything is a bit uninteresting to me. The problem was for me, that the girl was so small on the page that it was hard to draw everything correctly, like I didn't have enough room to work. That's how the coloring was going to. I put a lot of detail in to certain areas, but it just gets blurred and looks bad because she's so small on the page.

I see. By the by, just out of curiosity... when you say 'the anatomy seems a bit off' - are you perhaps talking about her hand, the one holding the scales?
Anyways, thank you for the explanation. : ) Well then, what are you doing here on DA? Go and draw your 'Justice Tarot Card 2.0' - we're all waiting for it just like little children are waiting for their birthday gift.
(Oh, and sorry that I couldn't help.

I actually think the hand holding the scale is fine, the legs bother me though, and her other hand... and some other little things.

I can see why you'd think it would come off a bit plain--white-clothed girl on a white marble background would seem sorta blankish. I'd suggest making it *black* marble, or alternate between the two to keep the background interesting, but it you could go either way with this one.
I'd suggest if you go back to it and start from square one you could always open up the pose a bit more (that is, pose her seated, yet in a more horizontal-reclining pose rather than the vertical one you've got now) and I dunno. I know people have said the skin feels a bit too glossy, but it's hard to judge without seeing it relation to the other
As to what you should do as to continue or start over, I feel like both options have positives and negatives, really. I think whichever way you go with it, you can still come up with something pretty interesting. I certainly like what you have so far.

I think the skin was turning out a little glossy, I think it was just the colors I used in comparison to the white and purple. I like the hair color and the white on the shirt, but the purple is really bleh to me.
I've got a bit of a new idea though, need to see if it will work. I'm going to have her reclining a little more... I want it to have more of a "Justice" feel though. I looked around though and found that the throne is more of an optional thing, I thought it was part of the meaning of the card but it isn't. So she's going to be sitting on a throne that has been cut in half, and her sword sticking into the ground. Probably from calf up so I can get more detail, not 100% on the pose yet though, but brainstorming. It's hard. >_> I thought about doing more of a horizontal pose, like having her feet up on one of the chair sides. I think it would be a very nice pose honestly, it just doesn't work for a Justice card.

That sounds like an interesting concept for a pic, and something I'm right eager to see you pull off.
I'm not organised enough to brainstorm--I just go in blind, so you're one up on me there.

I agree when you say that the face is turning out very well. Nice work
And, I think if you start to dread doing this, it's time to do something else...
Dang, once again, I wasn't very helpful.

i really do like the lineart for this. as for the coloring, i like that too, w/one exception.. the skin. it looks glossy, almost as though this girl was made out of a really sexy plastic than flesh.

I agree completely on the skin, one reason I didn't like how it was turning out.

i wouldn't want to tell you to start over, because to me that seems like alot of work. i'd say, do what you need to do to achieve a final product you are satisfied with. if you don't think you can get this right, then start over, better. if you still think you can get it to come out ok, then keep going.

I've put a bit of hard work into it already, and the details can't be seen, to me, there's too much background and needs to be more focus on her, and a lot of other little things, so I'm planning on starting over, and I'm fine with it now.

I love your art so much T_T The level of detail always amazes me, and I adore your coloring style. I think it's coming out very well, so far. You've done an especially wonderful job with the wrinkles on her shirt. :33 Awesome start to the picture!
-whines at you- Hey, if you're not too busy, would you like to do a collab sometime?

Haven't talked to you in awhile.
Glad you like it... but I really think I'm going to start over.
I don't know about a collab.
