Description
Main character for a story I created long ago and that I'm still working on. I tried a few differents styles, to see what fitted better with the action scenes and general mood I had in mind.Some thoughts behind those concepts
She's some kind of elemental martial artist and using her powers affect her body (the reason behind the tinted hands and feets). I think I'm going to stay with a more cartoon style because it's more dynamic as much for poses than for color palettes. And for those who thinks she's too sexy for a martial artist, lets just say I have some reasons behind this design. I also got rid of the megasleeves for action lines purpose.
I'll post some sketches in the scraps section today and other characters tomorrow.
Someone made me notice Marine is not a name in English (and it confused some people too). The closest match would be Marina I guess.

I love the action in these sketches, especially the middle full-body one.

I don't think they are, as she is walking bare-foot most of the time

I think I'm in love with your AWESOME character.
She's very dynamic.
My personal fave style of this sequence is no. 2 because I like defined but light lines

I like the colors and the dynamic pose in the middle. But I like the overall design of the one on the far right and left. You can go either way one is a bit simpler than the other. If you're wanting to keep it simple I'd go with the one on the far left.

TOTALLY digging her pants, especially the center illustration; I love their movement, and the larger bottom goes well with the slimmer top. I also really fancy the dynamic poses; they're simple, but still harbour much power.
Very, VERY nice work... Your gallery is incredible.

I love the two on the right most ( Marine is my top FAV character from ur works )
And if u are going to make comics .. i think u should go with Marine on the far left ( simple but still pretty ) .. but i think Marine next to her ( second from the left ) should only be used in action sequences .. like her pose suggests .. it is all up to u in the end
Cheers for Marine * dances around the room *

Glad you like her! She's a personnal favourite too

I just love your style! Awesome character design and colours here, and I especially love that centre pose! Hard to crit, but I'd say her right hand on the left-hand-drawing is bent up unnaturally far. Maybe some proportions in the centre pic seem a lil off, like head too small, breasts too big? Not much though, these are amazing

j'adore celle de droite, son visage est vraiment magnifique. Tu pourrais toujours garder ce genre de shading pour une couverture (si jamais tu dรฉcides de faire un livre/bande dessinรฉ avec). Celle du milieu me fait penser ร l'art des personnages dans un livret pour jeux vidรฉo. J'aime bien son design et le bleu ! Ca me donne juste le gout d'en connaรฎtre plus d'elle

Ma prรฉfรฉrรฉe c'est celle du milieu, pas juste pour la pose... j'sais pas, j'aime รงa simple je suppose XD

I like the one in the middle best, with the one to the left a close. The third one, the nose doesn't look quite right (sorry, but you *did* ask for critiques
Still, I really like the character, and added the concept art on as a favorite, which I almost never do.

Thank you
And yes I asked for critics, its the only think that can make you better

Perhaps, but most critics are about as pleasant as a rabid weasel chomping on your foot - especially since most (and I say this as someone who was just one
(Well, there are some people who are natural-born critics and don't feel awkward about it - see the previous comment about rabid foot-chomping weasels ...)

Personally, I like the one in the middle. I've always loved simple coloring styles.

I really like your coloring and shading. The cartoony but also realistic effect is cool.

Ah.......the OTHER type of Marine. I like the colors. If I were to pick one.....the far left one.
