Description
Not many people decide to draw the mirror card, and she doesn't make a lot of appearances in the CCS series. And yet she is one of my favorite characters, I mean she's sooo cute and innocent, and the fact that she has a crush on Touya makes her even more adorable. I don't know much about her Manga version though but still she's my favorite!Now I wonder why I decided to create the pathway to hell from Jigoku Shoujo for the background? I have no idea myself.
The title means Mirror of Hell!
This piece took me approximately 15 hours straight to finish. And I think I have really out done myself if we do not look at the bottom of the image which is supposedly water.

You really did a wonderfull job, she's so cute x3. Mirror is my favorite to, I think she's the card that has been the most close to sakura

Nice work! I love the details in her hair, like how they twirl when they end off. The piece is a bit flat though. You have an obvious light source at the top-left, so you should put in highlights (or not shading the parts, in this case) accordingly.
Her figure is nicely done, and the folds are very good as well. That's my two cents for this piece.

hey I forgot to ask, I kinda know what I'm missing on the Mirror's clothing but um how can I shade around her in the mist?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just shade how you would usually shade. a person's shadows does not disappear because they are in mists, the shadows might be darker, but that's it

The only thing I could see out of place is that the light is not all going in one direction like it should.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh then let's assume that each side of our light source sends light in a different direction
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why would it do that? There would have to be depth in the objects the light is coming through and they would have to be different light sources and if that weird flower looking thing glowed it would be surrounded by the light it radiated and put everything else in shadow.

ummm, so how can I defend this...? Well it is glowing through the mist so the light is supressed to some point. And the way I am showing the light is kinda based on the flower's original state in Jigoku Shoujo, well except I think there the flower peddles send light in almost the same direction

Which they are not. Two of them, the left and right one are slanting deeper than they should or the top and bottom one are shining too high.

I meant I couldn't defend any further, you got me...

advanced comment! thank you! Well the ocean ripple is back there as well but it disappeared because of the so many layers I used. about the background, Well what else is there? to be honest really nothing, that's where the lanterns come in I thought I filled the scene enough with them, though they were supposed to be floating on the water not in the air. and yeah that's where I got them I don't remember seeing lanterns of that sort in CCS
