Description Oh god, I messed up.
I just want to upload the darn thing, though.

If I ever fix the perspective of the building she's standing on, or if I ever add legs, then consider this a WIP. >.>;

10+ Hours
Photoshop CS3
70+ Layers (4 final)

Hey there! xD I'm not sure if you remember me from the chats, but I just had to comment on your work!

This is really nice-- I'm really impressed by your usage of CG skills, here. The profile on her face does look a little bit off, however. Maybe making it less-straight would help? (not sure if that explanation helps...)

On that note, I really like the background- A LOT. It's rare to find manga artists on dA who do such great backgrounds- and I believe it goes greatly with the composition!

beautiful. i love your shading.
might i suggest a little more of a chin? it seems to go straight into her bottom lip. just lengthen her face a little bit

smilingturtle [2008-12-05 20:26:33 +0000 UTC]

nice, your coloring is absolutely stunning ^_^

you should extend the hilt?or handle of the sword more so that we can tell she's holding a sword. instead of some large object.

Great work! Good job

Ebsolon [2008-12-04 23:59:43 +0000 UTC]

the digital colouring is very beautiful, however the profile loose squished, and her eye seems to far forward.

hope this helped (:

dare-to-disgrace [2008-12-03 04:42:46 +0000 UTC]

This was a little confusing for me XD It took me a while to realize it's a sword (it is a sword... right?). Mayhaps adding more of a silver color would make it more identifiable. The bright spot in the center doesn't look like a "shine", which I'm assuming you were going for. It looks like a giant flare spot. Toning it down and making it more subtle would have a good effect on it.

ZeroSlash [2008-11-30 04:46:50 +0000 UTC]

your coloring looks as its from an actual anime, could you perhaps give this animator a few notes about your coloring technique? I'd be much obliged.

I'd give critique but sometimes I just don't know what to say

But I love how you can see the city in her sword (I think it's the city or a city xD )
