Welcome to Gaia! ::

the feet? umm, maybe changing shoes so they are either more foot-shaped, like ballet shoes or whatever, or bigger and like... not foot-shaped xD
what about them is it that bothers you really?

here are my drowning ww2 german soldiers. i'm so not looking forward to doing the water xp
any tips? my grade depends on this x.x

Purdoy--the bent leg looks fine to me. The leg that's straight--the main 'issue' I see is that she doesn't really have much of a calf muscle and I don't think the heel of her foot protrudes out enough. Combined, the two just makes that leg look a bit flat.

I think it's pretty easily fixed and over all, I really love it. :3 The foreshortening on her upraised arm is really great.

Annnnd...I don't normally scan my pictures while in progress but this was a special case. So:



The one thing I hate about traditional art is trying to get the scanner to cooperate and actually capture the colors correctly. It never wants to. crying

purdoy: haha, makes more sense cuz i think the feet looks nice^^

yup, as celeste said, just give her a bump on the back of the leg ;D

celeste: that's why photoshop exists x333 you do very nice colors btw

edit: that looks nice, purdoy. i think the design on the first pair looked very exciting, but there's nothing wrong with a rune heroine, is there?

@Iena: I have GIMP only. D: I was trying to adjust the colors but GIMP was being stupid so I gave up. Sometimes it can be really difficult to catch the subtle colors--in the original, the yellow in the background isn't nearly as prevalent and her dress doesn't look nearly so flat. :

@Purdoy: I could be biased, but I think everyone should try watercolors at least once. They're incredibly fun. =3 Also, yes her leg looks much better now.

I really think the first wings had a very nice flow to them that the second set is lacking. But now they carry over the design from her staff, which is nice too.

She's still cute as all get out though. heart heart

I have a cannon as well. Usually it does pretty well but those light cadmium yellow washes always confuse it for some reason. :B

The versatility of watercolors is one of the things I love about them. So many products and you can layer them with markers and colored pencils and all sorts of fun things. =3

That's a really great piece too--I love his hair. ^_^

@Purdoy - I like both wings~ The second one is really interesting.

Ugh thick lineart. D<

heehee I've already been using watercolors but I'm lazy that's why I don't use it much. x_x. They are really good for portraits. XD.

I adjusted the legs even moar! ... are the colors and wings OK?
