I want whom ever reads this to take a good look at her, and
try to take in all the emotions you feel from this picture of her.
Try to tell me what i can add, take away, etc. and give me
the feeling you get when you look at this, because i've been
hired by a gaming company and they need an aray of characters
so im doin' this job and i need desperate help sweatdrop lol


Ok here is Etna and her background story i have so far for her...

She came here quite similarly to how the little mermaid came to land/shore.
Etna fell in love with a man that lived on land so she was giving a special
spell from the her local voodooist to turn her tail into a pair of legs, but soon
after the voodooist died, and the spell to transform her back into her mermaid
form was lost forever. But she didn't care about the ending spell, all she cared
about was the love she has for the man. But when the mans love for her died,
he ran off with another girl and he was never seen again. And to this day she
remains in waiting for the man to come back to her...but will he really come back?
Now she surrounds herself with dark and sketchy people that thing they know
how she feels, but they have no idea how much she hurts for him. Etna only
talks to one other person in the character group, but she will be introduced later.
She contains the ability to control water, but hasn't realized it and can't control it
herself yet without proper training. She enjoys fishing because she wishes to see
atleast see one of her friends from the depths so that it may brighten her spirits.
She sits at the end of the docks in town everyday at sunset in hopes of returning
to the sea with a new life to live and her old tail back...but nothing ever happens,
but the thought of having life anew keeps her alive.


Ok heh, i hope the story is like dramatic enough cuz i need it to be emo
and make people cry and/or get emotional lol (i know im weird LOL) so
yeah this is what i need. . . .
- critique on : story, clothing, hair style, hobbies and that stuff thx biggrin

And HERE SHE IS biggrin

OMG YES NA I BE SOOO HAPPY!!!! EVEN MICHAEL JACKSON CAN'T DAMPEN MY MOOD!!!! (see! He's the guy in your sketches... ^^)
Woah, Tax, that's soooo cool!! (being hired and all...) I'll do my best to help you (although I'm not really one to judge, y'know... :sweat) About the bumping and stuff, I'll continue to post, but just the way I've always posted, not for selfish reasons... so I don't need those prizes if you feel like it's too much work, okay tax?
Anyway, let's see about Etna...
*stares* *thinks* *pondering*
Alright... well, here's what I think about the picture:
Overall, it's really good (ORLY? NO DUH) but here are just the finer points I noticed.
Everything, her hair style, close, facial expression, earrings, are stereotypically emo, which is explained about her surrounding herself with sketchy dark people... could you add something specific about her imitating theses sketchy people because she wants to fill the empty space the man she loved left in her life with these new "friends"? Anyway, I was thinking that you could put streaks of black in her hair to make her look even more emo and poseur-ish, but her hair obviously represents water. By adding black streaks, it can symbolically show flawed or muddied water, and how, although it is her element, she can never fully return to the water because of the choice she made, and how her control of water is not perfect yet.

I hope that makes sense... sweatdrop now... the background story:
Yes, this story is very emotional, good job on that. The thing that sticks out to me the most is that Etna cannot let go of her past, which separates her from dark emo mysterious people, who often purposefully repress memories and such. You can mention this in the difference between her and dark sketchy people, and you can play up the thing about her not being able to let go to make the player really cry. Maybe give her nightmares, or say that she can't move forward in life, that it's almost a mental handicap... What would be beautiful would be if she refuses to love because she believes that he man is her true love and is waiting for him, always being faithful, but he never comes back. To make it even more touching, you can put her true love right in front of her,and then kill him off right when she realizes her feelings for him... ^^ I love doing that in my stories.

I hope that helped... but you've already done a pretty good job, good luck!
ಥ_ಥ


The picture makes me think that she is suffering, and just wants to be happy again. She misses her old life and is angry with the man she loved because he abandoned her for another woman.


---

On the actual picture (with no feelings involved), I think the anatomy is good, but the head seems too big and the neck seems a bit too skinny.. Also the top part of her arm seems too short..it might just be me..

Either way! It's a great picture that conveys a lot of emotion.

Congratulations on getting hired!
Hello, na-chan. Good points. I just thought of something, but you don't have to take it Tax, because I don't know if you want critique on the face or not...
The nose seems strong and a little defiant, which doesn't exactly fit her character... perhaps you could make it a more gentle slope? but it'll probably be really hard to modify the nose and make everything else still look okay, so you don't have to listen to me!
I agree with na that the picture conveys the right message about sadness and seeking happiness and such. ^^ Nice work!
