Description Heck yes, Dynasty Warriors is a supar fun game. I'm cosplaying as Sun Shang Xiang (character pictured above) and it'l be my new ID once I get chances to get pictures.

I finished this one yesterday, BUT SINCE MIYAVI ANNOUNCED HIS TOUR DATES AND LOCATIONS, I WAS PREOCCUPIED WITH SPAZZING. Anywhoo, this is the longest I've spent on a picture (20+ hours, spread over two weekends). I think there are some anatomy mistakes, but I can't really see them, so please critique on that and coloring ect ect. I got a new computer, so the colors are different than my old one (which was super colorful and blacks were actually not gray. : P) Third background I've tried, and I'm still not happy with it, so this is still a work in progress.

SO: Alternate background suggestions, critque heavily on coloring, anatomy, shading, aestetic value, ect ect.

I really love the textures you used on her clothes - it makes them feel very realistic.

Well a very nice picture! The coloers are very clear and strong. The shading is well ,too.
But I think her arms are a bit too short mostly her right arm. That is all I have to critique.

beautiful! i love all the texturing in the sails and such, and the glimmer of the metals, and the glimmer of her hair, is amazing. the placement of the girl in relationship to the ships and land is very appealing to the eye...you must have planned this out very well or just have an instinctive ability to know where things look good being placed :]

I really love the color schemes you're using! It's so bright and awesome. It looks a little stiff, and some of the shading doesn't quite follow human anatomy/isn't rounded enough, but on the whole this is a lovely piece and I can't wait to see more from you since you just keep getting better.

Nice work! It looks very collected and together, which is hard for pictures with backgrounds and this much detail. I think her skin looks a little too red; you started with good base colors, but the red is too vibrant in the darker areas. The face is amazing, but the hair could use a little more depth--a lot of it seems to be mostly shadow and wisps and strands, so all that dark area needs more detail. Her pose is a little awkward; I think her left (our right) arm would actually be placed higher than her right. Her right arm look good, the shoulder's a little too rounded, but the left arm's upper length is too long, so the elbow starts too low. For the background, I think you should keep the same color gradient, but paint it in yourself because the details in the filter are distracting. It also seems like a very open picture, so maybe make the land more distant or get rid of it entirely.
I'm not sure whether this is just me, but it seems like the foreground has really warm colors and the background is much cooler, so maybe add some yellow into the sky (near the horizon, perhaps?) or cool down the tones of her skin to balance it out.

Amazing. I love the coloring, and her face... (how pretty! )

You're improving on bodies too! (The arms are a little short...)

Hahaaa... I like how the chakrams sorta remind me of your chakrams... Or maybe... Your chakrams are so accurate, they resemble the game! Sooo... If pic chakrams = your chakrams and your chakrams = the game chakrams... The pic chakrams = the game chakrams...

*shot'd for rambling*

Overall, I like the feeling to it, how the wind blows through SSX's hair and such. Pretty.
