Welcome to Gaia! ::

While i was going through my old site i found an oekaki i did a few years ago, and i thought i'd redo it.

It's obviously not done, but i thought i'd get a little input. I need to repaint her face, i think. I'm not even sure if anybody will be able to see her face since i'm using an LCD monitor, and it's uncalibrated, so when i use really dark colors i can see them fine but i usually find out later that they're so dark they come out muddled on other monitors. But yeah, any thoughts?

I can see the face just fine. biggrin If you're on a mac it helps to use the built in visual calibrator, it'll get you in the ballpark. Not everyone can afford one of those gretag macbeth eye-one's (they start at $250!). I'm not a painter, but the face looks like a mask of an off-black to me.

I really love it. You have a real awesome talent!! Post more pictures, and play with fire more often~!

nice, love the fire there, very dynamic.

I see you have the smoke near the fire illuminated already, but maybe you can take that a step further, and add shading on the bottom of the clouds of smoke, to show more substance, and even more menacing fire.

The figure is pretty good. I was gonna mention a few things about helping her face look tilted down more, mainly making the sunglasses a little more oval, but you did that. Not quite sure why her face look more round than looking down slightly though. Maybe the positioning of a few facial features are throwing it off (If she's not meant to be looking down, I'd bring her eyeline up just a little).

I like the bits of burning burning ember floating around, nice touch.
