Description
Thank you all for one year of continued support for my webcomic
I really appreciate it! As a token of my gratitude...look at this picture 
The main problem with this picture is that the inking was really stylistic and with such realistic shading, it doesn't seem to fit together very well. I'm not completely satisfied yet, but this is the third coloring of the picture, so I'm going to leave it here for now
My quibbles are Seiraa (greenish hair)'s face and Columbine (in the tree)'s hair. Columbine's hair is salmon pink at the top, and it fades to yellow, then to white. It got weird when I was shading it and looks... bad. Seiraa's face is just sorta' wonky and bothers me

I have some wonderful people who have offered to color the lineart; if you are one of those people and you finish, please send me a note with a link to make sure that I see it! I will put a link to you right here, as well! Thanks!! ^___^ If anyone else wants to color the lineart (you can color it like however you want, you don't have to follow my colors or anything
), then either use the lineart version linked to above, or note/e-mail me requesting a larger version ~Aristic-Defiance's Colored Version

Any critiques/comments would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to perfect this piece as best I can! Thank you!

I really like how this version turned out. The inking may be a bit off for the coloring style, but I don't think it messes up the overall affect. I like how it looks like a really odd form of watercoloring; the colors look wet and almost like they're moving as you look at them. The branches at the top look a bit cut-out from the background, and the tree could use more shading, or something, in my opinion, but I don't think either thing is big enough to worry about or change. The flowers, although a but flat looking in the centers, are gorgeous.

Yeah, the inking and the coloring clash a little bit, but I think that everything good about this pic kinda makes up for that. Like, for instance, I adore Columbine. Even though the orange isn't really there on one side of his head, the coloring is still amazingly incredible. Not to be redundant...
Really excellent jobbo. How long did this thing take you, man? o.O

Hmm, very nice, even though the colouring and inking styles clash a bit, I think it breeds it's own style, if you know what I mean. This is awesome! Now I have referance on her wings... *stares at it*

Haha, yeah... I'm not too pelased with how they clash, but ehhh. Her wings are supposed to be a luna-moth wings

It's amazing. The amount of detail is incredible. There's only one thing that I don't like and it's the yellowness. It feels like it's taking something away from the other colours. Otherwise I don't see any other part of it that needs improvement.

Thanks! Though I don't agree with your point, I'm glad you said that! The yellowness is the tint because the only light comes from yellow-glowing bugs. It may be a bit too much though; I didn't start painting over with the yellow tint until the end of the picture... Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Let me elaborate. I think that the yellowness is what's conflicting with the stylization you created. In the half coloured version you have cold colours that use white for the light parts, and that seemed to work very well, so the yellow lighting may be too much.

Absolutely sensational, the natural colours to this really give it life. it's amazing, i'll get around to closing my jaw soon.
ahhh i really want to fav this like 10 times wish you could like rate stuff on here or something, cause this piece is just so good!

I think this is so amazing! I love the lineart, and the detail is really great! I also love the shading of the characters...their clothes and such seem very realistic with the detail you put into the shading! Only one sugguestion...a lil more shading for the greenery around it! Like the flowers the top right hand side, and the tree that is under Columbine's hand...it seems like, with all the rest of it being so awesomely shaded, you should shade those in a lil bit more too...hehe, I know. I'm being so critiqual~ sorry! I think it is so AMAZING that you can even DO stuff like this! So, good for you, tis awesome!

How can you demand an advanced critique on something this flipping good!? You amaze me.
Here's my advanced critique:
Don't make such perfect pictures, so people can critique them for you.
How wazzat?
Lovely lovely lovely job. I'm glad I waited to fav this when I saw the lineart, because with the color, it's a million bajillion times better. And I really wanted to fav the lineart. But now, I can fav the color. Happy day! ^_^
Okay, yeah, bajillion isn't a real number.
I'mma shut up now.

Thanks~~

This is just wonderful. Great, awesome, and glowy. As for Columbine's hair, I don't know if it looks like what you were going for, but it's amazing anyway! I really love this the way it is, even if you can find some imperfections
