Nicely done. But the thigh gap is disturbing. :S

And this gap also elongates the moon which seems out of proportion. I do love the image for sure. . . but your eye is dead on here!

Dat thigh gap.
On a serious note, great stuff! You're very talented

I'm sorry, but to me this is just continuing to influence the image of the physically "ideal" woman to impossible boundaries. I understand if it's for fun or what a client wants or whatever, but...that doesn't mean I can like the crazy anatomy.

No need to be sorry. I'm totally ok with you not liking this picture. I don't think Vampirella is the standard for women, and this won't be featured in a magazine for young girls neither.
I don't think the anatomy is "crazy" there: It's just not photo real as the tree and the bat.
There is my cropped reference. (and I don't need any moron to tell me how I should correct my painting to fit the photo)

painting is awesome and the slightly exaggerated proprtions look fantastic, really fits the character and overall composition.

I love the anatomy and her body is to die for. Too bad people have such a hard time understanding that there really are all types of women out there, especially the people who preach about how all sizes and shapes are beautiful, except the ones you decide look unhealthy/wrong huh?Β

It's really nicely drawn and coloured, however that unrealistic thigh gap ruins is :c

This looks great, the shading is done well and the colours blend together well

Fantastic work! I love the texture and colours.
Also... Is that a reference to Serge Birault on her arm?
π: 0 β©: 1
It is!
Well seen! Serge is a good friend

No tentacles, though?! Just kidding, a very nice Vampi.

Thanks a lot for all the constructive comments regarding the anatomy.
The fact is that the challenge is based on a photo ref, so I had the perfect and correct anatomy as a reference while working, and I made choices.
I'm ok if you don't like those choices, or feel like "that would be better if", because art isn't a democratic process.Β
Cheers!

Art is democratic if you are being paid to do it, but I understand your point since this is personal piece- even if it was commissioned, no matter what someone says, it wouldn't be changed unless the client was unhappy.
Even if it is correct anatomy, I think it is more of a distraction. It doesn't emphasize the rest of the great work, so you can always do the opposite of a reference if it serves a purpose. That's my opinion though. I clicked on this painting just from the colors and lighting seen in the thumbnail preview. It was only viewing on the page that I saw the thighs.

If you're paid, it isn't democratic still: The client is the only one who has the last word. and the first too
There it's a personal piece made in half a day. It isn't a masterpiece, more a piece of fun. But the critique were constructive and true, which is great!

Well, I suppose when I think of company client, there is more than one person involved

Nice composition. And I really, really like the bat.
But there seems to be something wrong with her legs/hip. It looks like her hip couldn't carry the weight of her torso. Or the legs are too thin. I don't know. Maybe it would help to move the β¦ uhm β¦ bottom line of her pants a bit lower?

This is really well painted! Nice colors and shading-- but doesn't that thigh gap look a bit... off?
π: 0 β©: 3
Agreed, her hips are definitely too round and there's no way she'd have such a big thigh gap. Her legs would have to be skinnier.
π: 0 β©: 0
I agree. It doesn't go well with her hips at all

I think it's the humongous gap between her legs, even though they're closed. Give her sexy womanly curvy thies, and she'll stand just fand

Some women have this naturally if they have a small bone structure, but I don't see how people can get such CURVES out of a really really skinny girl. You just can't... I have never seen a woman who is really really thin and small in size with boobs that big and hips that large unless they have been surgically altered :/
