Hi, I'm from 

I like the foreshortening you did in this piece, it makes for a nice pose since it's not stiff or 1-dimensional. It's definitely dynamic, which gives a feel of action. The colors are vibrant and eye catching, and I especially like the colors in the hair. I like using purple better than gray to shade in things that are white because it desaturates it otherwise, leaving the piece kind of dull. I like how you did a simple background; it makes the character you drew a main focal point, so it's not distracting looking at the background. I like the overall kind of simple style, with little blending. It works for this piece very well. I like the creativity put into the outfit as well, and the colors match nicely. Her facial expression definitely says "I'm trouble," as does her pose. The texture added on the gloves is especially nice, though I'm not sure what texture that is?

I think you could do without a little of the empty space up top, but otherwise this piece is gorgeous! I don't think there's much to improve on, because it's great already ^^

I hope my couple suggestions are helpful to you ^^ Did I mention I like the gradient in the background?

Hey! I'm from

To start, I was drawn in by your choice of pose. I agree with whispywizbee below about how it really portrays a sense of power. Through the hand reaching towards the viewer as it emanates magic, I really get the sense that this is not a character that can be crossed and getting away with it easily. That, and I really like the way the white lightning frames her figure! It draws the eye in and seals the "step down or get *****" attitude that I understand from this piece.

The only real critique I can think of is along the same lines as the comment before me. With such a powerful expression on the character, having so much space surrounding her kind of detracts from it. If you wanted to really capitalize on that feeling, I'd suggest bringing in the borders a tad and/or going for a slightly different angle. Viewing this character from slightly below would reaaally cement the intimidating feeling I get from her.

An example I found is here: img.washingtonpost.com/rf/imag…

Anyway, I really like your piece! If I saw her in an ad for a webcomic, I would definitely have checked it out by now.

Hey there, I'm from

First off, I love the dynamic pose that you've given this character. The perspective of the hand reaching into the foreground is exaggerated yet believable? That's a happy medium that's difficult to achieve. I like the overall design of the character, enough differing shapes and colors to keep you interested, but not too complicated as to overwhelm you with detail. The color palette that you've chosen works nicely to give the character an intense presence and push them forward. I find it difficult to work with a saturated background, but you've pulled it off nicely.

The only real critique that I have is that maybe there is a bit too much negative space around the character, particularly above them. I get the sense that this is a powerful elf, but I think that the space around her makes her seem smaller/less significant. Additionally, the hair feels a tad stiff, but I think you could fix that by varying up the line thickness/thinness and the different shapes a bit--you've got that going on with her right side (our left) and the way that the hair kind of cascades and flows.

Overall though, I think this is pretty sweet character art and I hope that what I've said helps!

You've given your character a nice line of action. The right arm looks like it's pushed too close to her body.
