For comment/critique contest, december 2012.
I chose to criticize this picture because I think this is one of the most developed your digital art!
To begin with I must say that you have a good level of painting, the whole character is well done, the proportions are good and the clothes are well done! I find, however, a pity that you have changed the look that originally was looking at us! The impact of the image is not too bad, however the image seems a little flat, the magical effect is well done and blends well with the character, I think you could add colors to to give effect alive!
I think you could improve:
- Mastering photoshop, I think you can greatly improve in this area, and this would be very beneficial to your paintings, you need more technique to get a better record, I do not know if this is the case but I feel that you are working on one layer to paint!
- Do not try to replicate exactly, try to add lighting effects, reflections on the metal and clothing based on that texture, one can increase the contrast of the image, highlight areas very bright or very dark .
- The background for me it does not blend with the character, it seems to me that this is a picture ... I think you should try making your own background even if they are not too detailed! Example of this work [link] the background is simple, but it blends better with the character.
For me, your levels of paint is very good, you just need to find your technique on photoshop and improve your mastery of this one, and improve your background.
To advance in photoshop must try everything, there often to a good number of method to achieve a desired result. I suppose you want a realistic rendering, for that I suggest you increase the contrast and light effects on elements such as shiny metal!
If this is not the case, try to paint on multiple layers, one for hair, body etc ... this allows rendering cleaner and can better affect the shadow on the lower layers!
I hope my review will not hit you or discourage you, I really think you with a good level of painting that be in traditional or digital, and you also have a unique vision of things! Are you missing a can of expertise on photoshop and it is up to you to find the techniques that suit you best!
I'm not a paint gods, I just give my opinion to help you and those you need to quickly improve your digital paintings! Ok now back to painting ^ ^: D
PS: sorry if my translation is bad-_-

congratulation, you have won the 3rd place in the comment and critique contest!
you've hit the nail on its head! you're so right i use the photoshop almost like a traditional canvas, although i don't really paint on single layer...
because of my very, very traditional artistic training, digital painting program is simply another way of wielding my brush using my past learned technique. it's cheaper, cleaner and easier to correct.
if only i have the time, i'll explore the photoshop to play with more effects. but alas, i have so many art materials waiting to be used i don't want to waste them. digital training has to wait.

In general, as a full ilustration everything seems to fit within themselves, however the the background above part (where Luka's head is) it's a bit too "strong" for the rest of the art. I explain it: when you first see the ilustration your eyes seem to focus on Luka's head, but that's not right, you appear to look askance at it because you eyes inmediately focus on that chip background. In my opinion, that wouldn't happen if Luka's colors would be more saturated, brightful, that would counteract that "strong" background.
About the illustration itself, the pose you've chosen fits wonderfully, creating an "active" atmosphere. The background is wonderfully expressive in the meaning that you did a great efford in matching Luka with it, taking it's time to give the message about where the music comes from in this case. Musical notations give the essence it needed to get that "fog" a role. I have to say that I new it was a digital painting because of the rest of your gallery but I wouldn't have noticed that if it were the very first time I saw a piece of art from you, why? It really looks realistic, more than other fanarts you've done before.
Great art! I hope you continue creating more.

(For the Comment + Critique Contest 2012)
First off, I'd like to say this is a lovely piece of art. The background is intriguing and there was some obvious effort put into it. I like the way it looks like the wiring and computer chips are wearing away. It looks quite good! Her face is so realistic it took me a few moments to convince myself this wasn't a cosplay photograph- good work there as well! The staff with the treble clef, sixteenth notes, eighth notes, and other various musical notations is very interesting the way it swirls around and fades out in certain places. Her hair looks good, but it isn't exactly realistic. Closer to the bottom it kind of starts to look flat and the parts that have a more obvious attempt to look more realistic don't look as good as it does closer to the roots of her hair. Her left arm looks slightly bulky in comparison to the other one as well. Just a few things you may want to keep in mind for your next piece.
Luka's clothes look really good- the creases and folds and shading is very uniform and well done. The colors are attractive and work well together. her headset in particular is especially striking. The band on top of her head looks very good and the way you had the light hit the mic itself is very aesthetically pleasing. Overall, this is a great piece I like very much. Keep up the good work, sir!
