Description 2011
Just to make a few things clear~
I DO submit one work to many groups, SOMETIMES. when it's worth it. I also fave and comment on other people's work when I go to submit to groups, I don't want to hear complaints about attention whoring. I give attention more often then I get it, so when I finally create something that I think is worth seeing, I want some feedback as well.

I WANTS CRITIQUES!!!!!!!!! screw the premium widget. That's what comments are for ^^

Version 1 (it was so empty I had to add something...) ~ [link]

Whee, my tablet works again!!!! (found that out after I dragged it to the store and the seller said there is no problems with it O_O of all the stupid things...)

I wanted to celebrate with continuing this work (it seemed a bit empty...) so now I need to introduce you to my new friend!
I don't know if they named her there or not, but this pretty babe is a leopard from the zoo in Haifa ( I took all the pictures of her through the cage window). She is the model for 5 out of 6 of the leopards there - the furthest is her mate (which was snoozing behind a tree all along and I couldn't get a good shot of him).
they both seemed so depressed (Well, SHE seemed more irritated then anything), was so sad to even go there... I don't like seeing animals in cages. I like seeing them in the wild (though if I WILL see them there, that'll probably be the last thing I'll ever see >.>)

STOP PUTTING THEM IN PRISON!!! even if it's critically endangered animals, why not punish the hunters instead of the victims???

And I'm cosplaying my OC Kouri there (aimed for Yuki at first, but her personality doesn't suit the scene... Kouri is more of an animal lover I guess. or she's just more friendly altogether). She's basically a fairy, but she can hide her wings. And I don't look that good, I did some heavy editing on myself as well to fit the character.
This is she [link]

Ah an artist begging for critique, that makes you a 5 star artist already!

I like the colors of this piece, very original!
The composition looks good too. The only thing I thing you should work on is making things blend better, adding shades and all will make it all look more professional and realistic, like the pictures are a better part of the whole image. Keep up the good work

Hi! Well, if you want critiques, check out #GimmeFeedback .... that group really works. (I am not advertising, just responding to your plea for critiques.) Just READ before you join. Anyway, I think this is really well-composed or put together. Your perspective is great. The main issue here is that the pieces aren't blending well. I personally would blur the woods in the background a little bit to give yourself some depth. Furthermore, the model, leopard, forest, etc. are all different tones. There are a lot of tutorials out there on how to get everything to be the same tone, but I find it easiest to level all of the components to get the lighting right, then use Color Balance to get them into the same hue family. Then, you can play with shadows/highlights and the burn and dodge tools to put lighting where it needs to be based on where the sun is coming in through the trees. If you are going for a fantasy theme, you could also use a little bit of make-up if you wanted to and smooth the hair. Overall, I think this is an interesting piece coming from a creative mind and has a lot of strengths (especially composition, or where you placed everything and the "story" you are telling). I hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work!!
