What?

What does this do for you? I've taken advice about the bulkiness of her tail and to clean up her left toe.

What does the off-kiltered "window" and "ledge" do for the pic? It was unintentional, but if it adds to the interest of the pic as a whole, I'd love to keep it. It didn't do it for a buddy of mine; said it looked like I got confused.

Her mouth looks like she's smiling with teeth, when it was supposed to be her upper lip. I like it, so I was going to make it so.

It's a Valentine's themed pic of Scorpina:

And again, major thanks to all of those that replied and helped me out in my "How can I improve" thread. You all know exactly who you are and are the greatest people in the world. heart

The only thing I'd suggest fixing up is the width of her lower legs. Way too thin! If she ever decided to stand up, her ankles would break in half. Poor, poor girl.

Aaaanyway. Everything else looks good to me. It's almost 12 and I'm getting sleepy, so maybe I'll be able to offer more helpful crits in the morning.

You really think they're too thin?

I just don't see it!

I don't know about you, but my lower legs are double the width of my arms. That may be just because my legs are kind of muscular, but still. I don't know if that's a good comparison to go by, but whatever. XD

I think that the thing that looks the most weird about it, is that her upper legs are a normal width (especially closer to her butt), but then they suddenly become very skinny at the knee, which you wouldn't see in a real human being. If she was scrawny all over, those skinny legs wouldn't look so out of place.

But rather than doing that, I suggest plumping up the calf area and it should all even out. Just lookit those pictures for reference. 3nodding

i suppose this all comes down the personal preferance...but if you wanted to change the angle of the tail as it protrudes from her back..that would be cool.

Considering that if she really had a tail, it'd be an extention of her spine and thus not capable of...well, doing that.


I think if it curved more naturally awat from the body, the effect would be a bit more graceful and balanced

Anyhow. The legs are a little thin, it's true. I wouldn't say that was a problem, I'd just tend to think that this isa thin-legged character.

I do appreciate the off-angle window. Is very cool overall. Now colour it, you lazy What?!

her legs are too thin. Just a bit. The kind of thing I would only have noticed if someone pointed it out to me.

THIS NAME IS NOT SMART

It's sweet as. Go forth and colour! mrgreen

i'm not bothered by the thin ankles.
For reference's sake, it's a good thing maybe to bring it up...but there's alot of exaggeration in this drawing, so whatever.

and lots of artists draw things that wouldn't work in real life. just as long as you know you're doing it, it's fun to change reality.

Overall real nice....but ya need to up the shading for the most part. Also, you might need to toss some purples or dark blues into the red cloths dark zones to give em more contrast and help desaturate them a tad

I hate the background. It's so... inappropriate. Kills the image for me.

I don't mean to be harsh, but yeah. Ruled lines and gradients... she looks like she's sitting on the cover of a math book or something.

Ho hum..I thought she was going to be on a squinty ol' castle window ledge..I agree with ^ don't put in the all the straight lines and bright colours, she is a curvy lady with lovely curvy shaded bits- make it so!

I'd have to agree. o: (Math book, ouch.)

I thought you meant a window like a bay window in a house, with a window seat. That would be nice.
