Description
A tribal forest princess. Wood elves with bows are a cliche that cannot be avoided, but it is fun to give it a twist
Nude version will follow.

Hee hee, been wanting to do a critique on this illustration for a while e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Vision: Through background and design this image has a strong sense of presence. She's a master of bow and arrow who knows how to move around in the woods.... and she knows she's hot (judging my the bare feet and near nakedness e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Originality: Well, DA is filled with elf babes, so it's hard to rate this all the way to five stars e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="19" height="19" alt="
Technique: The aboriginal tattoo work (or body paint e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="18" height="15" alt="
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g… " width="17" height="15" alt="
The shadow against the tapestry is a nice touch and the color work is very clean and consistent. Though stylized, the anatomy is looks proportional and is overall believable. The boobs are probably too big, but I'm hardly complaining e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="16" alt="
Impact: The color, design and the voluptuous figure of the character definitely get my attention, and it keeps it with all the quality details.

the image and the pose... the shadowing and the color accents are perfect, all the colors complement each other perfectly, I especially like the outfit... is really fantasy-ish and really revealing leaving little to the imagination... you been doing that a lot from what I can see lol. the pose is perfect as well as the arm guards and other decorative items.... I wish I could color as good as you, chalo, jesonite, Nekony... well the whole damn katbox crew to be honest... I am still a noob on digital coloring and I would LOVE to be under your wing if you could teach me that is

Oh my goodness!
This is such a beautiful picture!!
I love the line art. How it doesn't look like a bunch of black lines.
You gave her such a beautiful and flawless body.
And the depth you gave it is just spectacular!
The way you drew her bow and her hand pulling the arrow back.
You can see the tension in the string and you can definately see her strength.
Usually when someone is drawing a character pulling an arrow back on a bow, you can't see the tension or the "reality" of the action, its just a string.
But you mastered that look wonderfully!
Her face is just as beautiful too.
As is her hair, not to mention the background.
This is just a master piece.
I can't wait for more of your art. <3

Now here we go. A unique elf, for once. To be honest with you, most elves look exactly the same; wispy, willowy, and pointy. Unless they're dark elves, they all have the same basic skin-tone.
Not this gorgeous woman, oh no. She, unlike so many other elves, has some actual substance to her. She looks like a real huntress/warrior. I'm willing to overlook the cliched "elves with bows" (especially wood elves), because she actually looks like a bow and arrow belong on her. Regardless of her rather... scandalous state of undress.

Really enjoy this piece! you would think her "assest" would not assist in using that bow though

Now that is awesome. Love the outfit, the tattoos, the ears, everything

If Dark Elves are grey or purple and light elves are peach or pale then....what would a brown elf be?

Love the unique take on the wood elf. Dark-skinned instead of pasty, strong physique instead of skinny and bony, and cool tats. Nice job. Definitely a fave.

I can't believe how inspired you are. You make cartoons alive, coming out from the screen. I really like this one

Lighting source Shifts from right to left on the figure, Such as the top of the bow being hilighted from the right, while other parts of her body are getting lighting from the left.
Celtic sword with hun-inspired recurve bow, a clash imo, but I doubt many are looking at those aspects anyway.

I definitely like this version better than the nude. Idk why, I think the armour you gave her looks great

Absolutey gorgeous! I would glady give up technology and live in the woods with her!

Great looking bow-picture. It can be pretty difficult to make a drawn bow look believable, or in solomon's tact terming, "dynamic" and I think you have it down.
I'd like to see what you could do with different angles and a drawn bow.
