Description ~ Galeserpent General Najelith ~
My favourite of the Serpent Generals <3

'HD' Anime screenshot attempt, with a quote of herself from the quest "When the Bow Breaks". Introducing the Dutch way of subtitling.

Pose is all done by me, and took three attempts. Probably spent 3x more hours on the lineart than the coloring.

Very beautiful! I could look at it and instantly know what I was looking at, having done those cut scenes myself.

The shading is good, and looks like you really paid attention to light sources. The details are downright amazing and the proportions look spot on.

My biggest complaint is on the background. At first glance I thought the tree was an explosion until I saw the little branches sticking out. Some finer detailing of the leaves should help to distinguish it as foliage. It doesn't have to be a lot, just a little so we can tell those are leaves. Also the boards on the fence could stand to be a little bit thicker.

I see you working on expressions as well. Her face is easy to read as one that is full of regret but she almost seems resigned to it rather than upset by it. If that was what you were going for then kudos! =3

Over all I really enjoy this one, and am very excited to see what you produce next. ^^

Amazing work here! I pretty much agree with PoP'S critique. You really put in a lot of effort. The coloring is freaking pro.

The only crit I wanna add is that her hands are really tiny, and that women's hips are as wide or wider than their rib cage/chest area. (But i didn't notice that til my second glance at the pic, so you did really well!) Keep it up!

I'd give a critique, but I think PoP pretty much nailed my thoughts.

I also thought it was an explosion. >_< I can see what you were going for, but it's far too big to be that blurry w/o distorting what you want it to look like. :< Good try though.

Aside from that, I think this looks pretty badazz!

You really nailed the cell-shaded look! The details on the character look great, and the shading fits the form without being too overdone.

Moar of these prz.

Never drawn a tree in my life like this, so XD
But who knows... maybe it's an explosion, caused by me >3

Am considering more, so more shall come!

I agree with Umi, looks exactly like it was capped from an anime. And after looking at the steps of the line art on tumblr i can really see how hard you've worked. Great job!

Doubt an anime would have all thse details, though. Gosh, there were a lot! @_@
Thanks so much
