Description
Okee I finally finished coloring this...and I guess I like it better more than when it wasn't colored...so now it only semi-sucks ^^;; The invisible body thing didn't work out too great...sorrie *cries* I had so much trouble choosing her hair color T_T I think it's too blue...and I got SOOOOO pissed off because of the white background >_< I wanted to use my coolio snowflake brush but the snowflakes only show up on HERRRR and not the BACKGROUND so it looks like the snowflakes are ATTACKING her or something... *SIGH*I hope I finish coloring my other pic soon so I can cover this up T.T Oh well...I guess it could be worse ^^;;; Or maybe it's actually good and I'm just a perfectionist...I dunno *shrug* Please criticize...there's something wrong with it and I need to know what it is cuz it's been bugging me X.x

nice colouring especially the hair but i reckon all that it is missing is some highlights you know the shiny effect some people can do to give it a much better look.
overall it is pretty good.

First off, I really love the colouring and the translucence, that snow-effect of reflecting the light from everwhere.
Hehe, also I can't pass a blue picture without getting all happy.
As for the snow, I think the really big crystals are something you can only use in the very front of the image anyway, because that's the only way the viewer will see them in this size. To enhance the effect of snowingness it might be nice to add more smaller flakes (of the fluffy dot sort) between the figure and the background layer, using separate layers making the flakes fuzzier and of course smaller the further back you go. > .>; I think I am saying what you already know, sorry. ^^;
I like the hair and eyes a lot; you did a good job of shading. Personally I would make the shadows of her clothes slightly deeper where her hair blocks out most of the light, but it does look great the way it is.
I looked at this picture and wondered what made you think there's something wrong with it, so I saved it and flipped it around and studied it a bit.
Well, I may have come up with something? The eye of the right seems to be of the same size and almost the same shape as the one on the left? A little like in a more frontal view? Not the lashes, they're just right, but maybe the entire shape of the eye needs to narrow a little since it is further away from the viewer? It's hard to explain it better but I think you know what I mean?
By the way.. I am not sure what ~ Shizukanotenshi asked you to do precisely, but if you want the body to blend in with the snowy background more, you may want to experiment with applying filters or textures to the fabric to make it less smooth, for example more like wool? Because the background is made of grains while her clothes are solid colour. 
Anyway, this is a wonderful picture!

neehee i just love your comments because they help me a whole lot ^_^ the thing with the snowflakes is that i cant make separate layers and make them fuzzier because they dont show up anywhere else in the background >.< and i have trouble with making the eye smaller..that has always been my problem T.T i guess i just need practice with that
*dies when she finds out you flipped the picture* my pics do NOT look good flipped @_@ and yeah i wanted to make a texture on like her sweater and her mittens especially but i have no good filters U_U do you know of a site where i can get some? ^-^;;
waaaaiii thank you so much
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've got the same problem with eyes. ^^;
Don't worry about the flipping because it looked exactly the same way flipped; I couldn't even figure out which way it was orginally.
I'm not sure about the filters I mean here myself; maybe a texture adjustment level is what I had in mind. @.@ The thing is, when I need it I have to work out how it is done afresh every single time. ^^;; And the results don't look so good. *was told it looked like "a cheap photoshop job" recently* ^^;;;
*will need to look how she did it for her sick An-chan pic*
Thinking about the snowflakes.... You mean the background is too light for them to be seen? If it's that, then you could um... try using the outer glow option from the layer effects and set the glow colour to something that matches the mauve parts of the background? Just very faintly with little opacity. To bring out the whiteness of the flakes gently against the almost whiteness of the glow. Um well, it's just an idea, it might not achieve the desired effect at all. ^^;
And I didn't lie! 
..... >.> Actually I feel a lot like trying a snow picture myself now. ^^; Would you feel robbed of your idea if I tried? Cause I don't want to do that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah it's TOO HARD to do eyes sometimes 
ooOoOoOoOOoo *will try that outer glow thing* ^-^ thats a good idea!! i'll try that after i finish coloring my next pic that i am currently obsessed with @_@
leaving you behind?? that could never happen!!!
