Description This. Took. Forever XD

Now it is finished, and I really hope the result has the effect I want it to have  
I tried to get in as many of the pattern details as possible, but undid the black ends of the sleeves. I don't know why, but I messed them up a lot.

The character is Ahri, belonging to AmarantaYuuki  

"A beautiful shrine spirit whose youthful and delicate appearance does not match her 500 years of life. She was born from the beautiful black fox statue outside of the temple she now guards, the faith of the villagers giving her birth. She has no understanding of humans beyond what she learns of them through their prayers."
You can see her character reference here: toyhou.se/1061483.ahri

On to the next projects! ^w^

Hey I'm from , and I quite like this piece. 

Overall, this isn't a bad piece. Actually, I'd say the only thing that needs to be heavily improved in this piece is the face and some minor shading and lineart stuff.
As far as the face goes, the emotion is extremely bland as well as the facial features of the character. Personally, I'd suggest not doing cube-ish eyes for the character you're trying to portray. I understand if you want to make them more slanty like it is in anime, but your eyes frankly feel like boxes, and it doesn't convey emotion or form well. This is usually because when a person is at a 3/4 angle, their eye is foreshortened and frankly, you just didn't achieve that. Example of a person doing cube-ish eyes and pulling it off: i.ytimg.com/vi/-utTA-UBTbM/hqd…

As for the emotions thing, that's conveyed throughout the entire face. For a piece that feels like it's in a fantasy setting, she seems oddly uninterested in everything. I get making a character look peaceful or badass, but again you didn't pull it off. Which, for anime isn't a terribly difficult thing to do. Mostly if you had changed the eyes to be more slanty and maybe changed the mouth, it would've come out looking better. I'd suggest looking at tutorials for emotion, here's why I personally learned, but I'd suggest finding some other one's fo anime specifically: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVrw24…

As for the shading and lineart, I feel the shading is being held back by your lineart. No offense, but in this piece your lineart is pretty messy. Maybe you could work with thicker lines or something, but I can see in the face and hair alone that you went over the same line several times and it just doesn't look very definite. Granted, I've seen this in some mangas/animes and the style works in those because of the shading style/colors, however here I don't feel it does. It's not that the colors or the character is bad, I just don't feel it works with this specific style.

Again, this is not a bad piece in the least. Remember, that this is just my opinion, and I hope to see some more of your work in ProjectComment soon, hope you have a wonderful day

Hi thank you so very much for your feedback ^w^
I think you make some really good points; some things like the hair having messy outlining
was on purpose, but definitely could have been executed a lot better.
You took your time to put some useful links in your critique as well!!! (I love Jazza btw XD)

And of course I remember it is your opinion XD If I can't take the critique, I should
hardly ask for feedback; au contraire, thanks for putting these points into your critique
You have a greatastic day as well!!!

i have to say, the entire peace has great execution to it, just the expression doesn't match the mood i feel from the picture, it surprised me. that may or may not be good depending on what you wanted from your audience. all in all, NICE JOB

Yeah, the character felt like a bit of a "sad" character to me with a lot of fight,
but to be honest, I had a bit of problems with the face XD
Do you know the feeling when you draw like, one eye and think "yeah that's great!"
draw the other one and think "great too!" and then both together look kinda weird?
It took me like 11 tries and then I just stuck with this but pssssssht no one needs to know XD

Thank you so much for the comment!

Thank you so much for the feedback! ^w^ Yeah, I think it can
be quite cool to add things to the foreground to put in more depth-perception
into a picture

You're very much welcome and I agree, it does add more depths into one picture.

Thank YOU for the character, and the compliment ^w^
I tried to add more general floof to the clothing. I was a little unsure if you'd like it though actually XD
If you need a different render just comment me
(Like f.ex. for references one without effects, I uploaded one into my scraps if you needed one:

) Thank you very much for your patience!!! ^w^
