I took a picture of this with a webcam ages ago, but now I have scanned it in, so here we go.

Please tell me what you think of her! ^^ Creative criticism is happily cherished in a golden box at the end of my big toe!

Done with prisma Colour Marker, Speedball ink(well), and pen with silver nib.

I think that you have an excellent idea of color theory. The colors all show nice contrast towards each other and I really like (in particular) the flames on the right side of the picture. The wings have such interesting detailing to them as well. ^_^

Hmm...as for constructive criticism, maybe there's a way that you can somehow show the intensity of the brightness from the flames on the right (This is the impression of those flames though ^^; ) on the clothes, a little bit of the hair strands, and the wings. Perhaps you can accomplish this by adding some more lighter contrast to these areas. I think doing this may add more focus.

Over all, I like how the colors just work well with each other.

I have to agree with this. A little more variation and light could go a long way on this piece. Perhaps is you have a white marker or glossy celar paint you could highlight them. You could also use the same technique on the character herself.

Ooo, I think it's good!

The background overpowers the figure. If you added something to make her contrast more then it would be good.
The background itself is good, but since there is fire near her she should be illuminated.

Yeah, somone suggested the use of a transparent type white ink and use it to highlight her fram, hair and wings.

I love the colors you used. 3nodding
I think, for me, I'd make her skirt or bottom part of her dress a little bit more poofy, but it's great.

Nice, i like the way your character stares straight out with a curvy smile... a bit of defiance, and fae, and a lot of spunk, in the colours, dress and her stance. heart

Lovely pic, but I think some adjustments to the brightness and contrast could make it look a bit more like the original. (scans turn out a little gray-ish)

I really like the colors that you used but try to remember this when you draw: warm colors pop and cool colors recede. When you mix them together it forms a sort of chaos that sometimes doesn't mix well together.

You put so much great and wonderful as well as beautiful detail in this drawing that it sort of gets swollowed by the chaos around it. It is such an awesome design and you put so much work in it.

The compositions is wonderful and the character design is just fantastic! Just a little work on those color combos and I think you might have something even more wonderful (if that is possible)!

following basic color theory cool colors 'recede' and warm colors look like they are closer- it's an illusion. Mixing them isn't chaos really, I always thought it makes a high-contrast scheme
