Description
Hrrafm. For some odd reason, this picture just doesn't... IT DOESN'T APPEAL TO ME. And I have no idea why... D:Something about the background. Or something. Maybe it's too busy, or just... AKFLHASFLKasf.
If you can spot anything, ANYTHINGATALL, please give critiques. I won't be mad or anything if you don't, comments of any kind are always appreciated.. but I seriously feel like I need critiques. .___.;
KAYYYso anyway.
I felt like I had to draw Pnevma again, since I've only drawn her... what, once? xD
The background was SUPPOSED to be the ruins of Greek temples. I tried to do a statue thing in the background, ahahahahah. Yeah. I erased it so much because I don't like how I draw people.
Pnevma is transparent, because she's a ghost. And because of that, the shading isn't as defined as I would've liked it.
Well I'm just full of complaints, aren't I?.... D:
Haha, sorry about that. Well, I hope everyone likes it anywaaayyy. And I'll get back to art trades. <3

Yes, I think I probably shouldn't have blurred Pnevma... it doesn't go with the background.
Thanks. :3

You're very welcome.
Is there, like, an un-blurring tool, like a sharpening tool, that could make it look a little better?

There is, but it wouldn't help- it would make the edges look all crappy and... blahh. D:

The character sortof stands out. Because of the lines, and because the lighting is COMPLETELY different from how you did everything else. You toned down the lighting on the character but thats about it. Everything else is harsh light.

This is really beautiful! I love the way you color, I know I keep repeating myself
but really I /love/ the way you color XD;;;
I like the detail of the background, light scorce and shading areas, I can't draw people at all, you are lucky because she
looks really awsome.
Ah yes I do agree with HexReedfly, I think the line work really effects the transparency of Pnevma.
Really great job with this! :3 <33

Thank you suu much! x3 <3333
Yes, I think my art might come out better if I tried lineless more... ;3

WOW...the background is stunning! I think u may not like the pic too much tho is because the character doesnt seem to belong in the picture or it is competing too much with the detailed background >_>

Yes, I think that might be the problem. xD
Thanks! <3

WELL.
I personally LOVE this ;33
hrmm, I think maybe the lineart looks a bit odd? o.O
hrm, a little tip X3 once your finished lock the lineart layer and colour it the colour of the insides, then it will look really cool :3 or colour it slightly darker? <333
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, a lot of people have said that. I think the problem might be that I used Gaussian Blur on the color layer below it, and it made the outside of the lineart look weird. I've tried locking the lineart layer before, and it usually comes out pretty cool when I do that. I might try it again on my next picture. <3
Thank you so much!

X3 yeah...gaussian blur would look weird with out the lineart...
EEEEE 
Very welcome! <3

I think it's rather beautiful. buuuut, maybe if you didn't see the line work on her she'd blend in better with the background?

Thank you! <3333
Hm... I was thinking about that.. If I did lineless on this picture I'm not sure if it would've turned out quite right. I definitely need to work on that more. ;3
