Description
Edit:Finally got around to applying some advice given. I completely redrew the rocks. (I actually used a mouse to get the outline since rocks aren't completely flat or round). I also added a few more shades and a highlight layer along with some thicker lines. I do believe the rocks are ten-fold better than what they were.I have a feeling that I can still improve upon the piece. Let me know if you see something that can be done better. Thanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Been working on this piece for quite some time and I finally finished it on the weekend.
If you can't tell, its sakura swinging her axe overhead, (of course, I gave the axe a modification) in her get up that designed.
Yes, I know the rocks are shitty...I still suck at backgrounds.

She has much more "glory" then in the manga/animΓ©, unless you drew her older.

yeah, that piece needs quite a bit of work. Someday, when my skills are at the right level, I'll be redoing it. I also have to know how i want the piece to turn out.

The idea of using the mouse for the rocks' outlines is interesting. Don't think I would've done it that way; probably would bug the hell outta me.

Does anyone think that looks like it was taken from Bleach....cough.....Hollow Ichigo....cough.... when Ichigo first fights his inner hollow before going to the soul society to rescue Rukia....cough....

You're confusing it there a bit. Ichigo fought his sword before rescuing Rukia. He fought his inner hollow before he went to fight against Aizen's men.
and how do you jump to that theory?

A bit of critique: the pose, the idea and all that are excellent. But the way you presented the idea, meaning, the drawing and coloring style, are not impressive. You are good at anatomy, but the lines lack some 3D feeling. What I want to say, the lines have the same thickness all the way, and it looks 2D. The thickness of the lines is very important. The coloring is not any better, it also looks more 2D than 3D.
About the axe, 10/10. Unlike Sakura herself, the axe does have a good 3D feel.

finally, someone is critiquing. I've been stuck for a while at a level I'm not happy with. So your saying I should vary the line thickness a bit and work on putting more highlights and shadow depths to the colors?

yeah, I've used that in another piece, a long time ago. But I do understand where You're coming from. It will just take a bit longer to figure out a good method of doing that. I'll experiment with a few things to see what looks best. I may end up just redoing this piece.
Though I thank you for your in-put. Hopefully I can advance to the next level as an artist.

When someone gave me the same kind of advice, I still didn't quite understand what I should do, until after some time spent on experimenting. Experimenting always helps
