Description
AT with *CelestialDragonsoul of their lovely Syphellium (hope I spelled that right, i'll check later)anyway I wanted to do a bright blue background with maybe a grey storm cloud in the background, but whatever this is happended instead. Sorry it isn't actually full body syph, i'll do another one sometime. I tried and tried and tried and couldn't get the full body in at all. so have a 50% body :
not sure if I should make the preview smaller, and about the white border. I love that border in rl, but on the computer i'm less sure. let me know what you think!
other than that, i gotta go now, I'll put in credits and stuff later, sorry in a bit of a rush (as you can probably tell from my comment)

Well, first off, thank you so very much for writing up a critique! I really appreciate that.
Regarding the neck, yes I think I see what you mean, and ~LadyElka also pointed it out, so its probably not just you 
Thank you so very much

I wish I could give you some good, useful critique, but this is so beautiful and flowing, I can't think of anything to improve on!

OHHHHHHH WOW. I SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
I just stared at this for 10mins unable to describe anything.
First thing that caught me, the colors. Their so vibrant and beautiful! Then her mane, it's really frizzy and that is a genius idea lining it in different colors! Those salt patterns on her body look really cool too, gives it a really nice texture and i love salt patterns in general xD Anything with salt patterns make me happy. And I really don't mind it's only half her body, it's just perfect just as it is! Plus the white border looks really cool
Damn, I really got to finish yours up fast!!! D: Sorry for being slow!

Ohhhh yay! I'm so happy that you like it. It was really so much fun to do. Although her mane did become a bit more frizzy than the long elegant whisps that I'd meant to do XD
And no rush at all. I know that you're a reliable person who will get it done eventually. I just did it fast because I was on holiday still. I'll be taking a lot longer with all the other ones that I owe >.> Take all the time that you need.

Whaoooo amaaaa, this looks amazing! You're really good with traditional media! I love how you can deal with the blending of nice, chosen colors~
The outline of the character it also pretty interesting. :')
Great job as always~

I love that blue and white combination. You and Fearnando both use that a lot. xD And it looks pretty cool. The colors in the background are really pretty, too! Syphellium looks a little odd, to be honest, but that might just be the character. *shrugs*

Tis cuz we have the most excellent colour coordination. Blue and white is one of them best

Welcome! I think that it might be because of the angle of the neck to the head - usually necks are shown coming out a little below the head, rather than straight out of the back of the head. Also, the hair is sort of confusing - it almost looked like it has two necks at first.

Thank you for your submission to ZealZone. I always leave the border on mine. I tape my paper down while I'm wortking, and when I did competition work, it gave the matt/frame people something to work with. Pictures don't always work out as expected. (Bob Ross used to call them "happy accidents.") All practice is good practice. Let's see more!

I never though about the framers! Thanks for pointing that out. hehe yep, beautiful accidents is what we call them. Once again, thanks for the helpfull comment!

I like the white border, I'm not sure it would look as good without it.
The background's good, I like the way her tail seems to dissolve into it, it kind of looks like she's underwater.
It looks amazing!

Thanks Fluffy. I love the sort of white border when an artist paints in say watercolour, so I was trying to imitate it. Underwater? Thats the second comment I've recieved in the last two days referring to water when water hadn't even crossed my mind XD The first one was on the AT I did with you.

No problem! I think it doesn't loose its apeal being digital, so I think it worked.
Well, it was the way the hair's floating that made me think underwater, but it is odd that you hadn't thought of that and people mentioned it twice!
Talking of that art trade, I just had a long comment on the drawing I gave you as a reference comparing it to the "second version" I suposedly drew. I was very confused and it was only when they mentioned white gel pen that I realised they were talking about your part of the art trade and that they must have thought that they were both drawn by the same person. XD

hehe, well one underwater comment on this one, and one water comment on our trade piece. Maybe they're trying to tell me something. It is pretty weird.
Aha oops XD
