Description A fine follow-up of Terra, don't you agree?

Liked drawing her, though I'm not so sure about the outcome. I'll leave that one up to you.

Tried to mix her Game design with the Amano design, hence the large white coat and the belt.

Whatever you think of the drawing, keep it civil

Critique encouraged and such

I've said this to you before but I'mma say it again now, I really dig your art style. It has a very unique flavor, especially as contrasted to this overly Japanese-influenced world here on DA. Oh, there's nothing wrong with anime/manga/whatever-san art in and of itself, it's just that it's fairly overdone, so something like this is a welcome sight, at least for me.

You do a great job on the grass and I like the abstract quality of the lightning. Plus the rolls of flab drooping and hanging are just marvelously sexy! Your coloring and shading are well-rendered too. My only beef is with her hands, they don't seem to be of equal size. I know we've discussed this before, wherein you've stated your difficulties with hands, and I see you've done your best to occlude them here respectively behind the hilt and blade of the sword. However, one can still see the right hand is smaller than the left. I'm not sure exactly which one is more appropriately sized, but methinks the right is better. The left one just seems too elongated. Please don't take this criticism the wrong way, as I think overall the picture is quite excellent. I merely state this criticism in hopes it will spur you on to further improve your already impressive style.

As always, I thank you for posting!

How can I take it the wrong way after such wonderful words?

Glad you like my style. Sometimes I think that I should do a more manga style because it'd likely get me more visitors, but visitors like you make me remember that I'd rather have a style of my own
(I'm still considering making a manga-esque drawing sometime just to laugh at how many people suddenly fav it)

I'll take another look at the hands once more. I feel like they're getting better, but really not quite there yet. Here's to hoping you'll notice an improvement when I next update!

Well, I'm glad my comments have, at least for now, convinced you not to forgo your own uniqueness in order to gain more watchers.

As for the hands, I do see an improvement and only comment on them in the first place to spur your already mighty talents on to ever greater heights. Thanks for taking my comments in the spirit intended.

It's right in the middle of absorbing an otherwise potentially, but unlikely, lethal fire spell.

it's hard to tell where the left side of her belly ends and her left thigh begins.
but other than that, it's a great piece.
the background is particularly wonderful!

the belly ends Somewhere in her swimsuit, I imagined it to be hidden behind the jacket, but upon reasonable thinking, I realized that that'd be a pretty bad idea.

Funny how you think the background is wonderful, I hate it quite a bit.
