Description Contest entry for *color-me-club .
Lineart by =Victorie .

I spent a lot of time on it.. well, not as much as I'd want to since this has a deadline to be met (this saturday). Do I like it though? There are a few mistakes I can already see in it, but in such a short period of time, (I think I only had about 2 weeks to complete it ASIDE from my two major assignments in school and being really ill the past 5 days) I think I did a pretty good job.

So tell me what you think of it now that it's finished. I had a few screen shots of it during its initial stages; is it what you hoped it would be? And please, stop looking at her boobs. I kept it simple there for a reason.

Edit: btw, I coloured the birdy like Toucan Sam!
and I didn't forget her eyebrows, I left it on purpose. It's slightly too thick for comfort when filled in with a solid colour. I like it just the way it is

For more information on the piece AND HOW TO VOTE FOR ME (XD), check out my journal entry: [link]

Edit: Voting has ended. Thanks for making me third place! <3

I'm really really sorry I didn't get over here sooner x.x but yes, you've made her look fantasmic! I do wonder if she's following Toucan Sam's nose...or if he's following other things. the first thing i noticed was the bananas, which yeah i'm s ure is weird, but look at the linearts i come up with. yeah. But the reason i noticed those is because i love the way they're shaded, they look almost real! you've just done a really kickarse job on her, thank you for coloring her!

Actually, mango nectar is best. :3 It's like juice only minus the added water.

And of course, no problemo.

Wow! I love the coloring on the girl, and the shading in the sky!

the ONLY thing that seems off to me is the fruit in front of the pineapple.... the gradient is just kinda off.

Ok over here on a more SERIOUS note. It looks awesome. The flower in her hair was the first thing I saw when I full viewed the picture. It was just too cool lol. I still say though that a darker shading could have been used here and no offense to your coloring job cus you're EXCELLENT at it, but I think you need to learn about highlights to advance in this hobby. The fruits, the leaves, the alligator, all those things have nice smooth surfaces. They could do with some shine and more work. I know you said you did this for a reason, but I'm going contradict you lol. You don't want the picture to be JUST about the person. The main focus IS the woman in the middle of the photo, and when they see it, they go "Oh wow, that's pretty cool." Then there eyes will stray to the smaller details in the picture, the ones more blunt and think, "Oh wow... that's not as impressive. What happened?" Basically I'm saying you need to give em more to look at, eye candy is essential and you should know this XD

You can be cool, you ask for critique. I give you critique. It was damned cool, and damned awesome. Never said "Do it nooowww!" They were just tips. I'm not about to compare anyways. Just uh, try not to bite my head off for it

All in all not bad considering the amount of time you had to work on it. The girl, which is the main focus, is very nicely done. But I'd try to avoid shading with gradients, specifically on the watermelon and alligator. It could also use a few more shadows. With the sun so bright, things are surprisingly bright even when they'd be the shadow of something else.

Gwenyver In reply to TastyOne [2006-08-04 01:32:13 +0000 UTC]

There's a watermelon?.. I didn't even know lol
And as to the plainer fruits/alligator, it's because its a fairly large picture. I didn't want areas too far off from the main focus to distract away from looking at her.
