Description
~PhoenixDreamAngel 's character, Mitsuko. By far the most difficult coloring job I've tried so far. dark skin and green hair just doesn't give you much breathing room lol
if anyone has any suggestions/crits, they are VERY welcome technical stuff aside, Mitsuko is supposed to be a goddess of light and creation, and at least as far as that aspect is concerned, I'm pleased with the piece. I took a lot of liberties with the character, but I don't think she's too unrecognizable...
Please full view, it looks wonky in thumb size
Credits:
>> character refs: [link] and [link]
>> pose ref -> mom was gracious enough to pose for me for as long as it took to do the basic sketch. further referencing for the hands from my and her hands.
>> textures from [link] and one more, used to make the textured brush for that circular thing in the middle, which I just cannot remember where I got *gulp* if anyone recognizes it, please let me knoooooow!!
>> textures for the planet manipulated from a pic of the mars surface, from NASA. pic of nebula used for the BG also from NASA.
Variations:
>> Close up of the planet she's creating: [link]
>> Lineart version: [link]

Your proportions and colors are wonderful. There's a little something off about her upper hand, but I can't really figure it out. Brilliant work.

Wow, this is really amazing. I love the whole composition of the picture. The planets are really well-done and I noticed that you create wonderful frames and patterns. I adore the goddess' dress and necklace. They are gorgeus
Time for the crit now - you made an anatomical mistake with the neck, it doesn't go like that. Check it in the mirror
Anyway I love this picture, so

She's absolutely lovely. Her dress, the mint-ish tint to it, is gorgeous, and the flower on her hip!! I love it. I love the color-scheme, and the whole arc/oval division you've got going on... I'm totally into it.
This is a great piece!

This is gorgeous! Beautiful, I'm putting it in my journal. Mitsuko looks very good, her hair maybe should be a little lighter, but otherwise
Btw your the first pic in the contest to go up hopefully this'll inspire people to join up
