Description recommend listening to: Entraik - C'est La Vie‏

Although it took all day, but I wanted to practice speedpainting oTL

portrayed here is Petra  ((c) AngelicHellraiser ) who is not fond of winter as it freezes up trees so she can't communicate with them. The trees in here are frozen weeping willows (as inspired by Frozen - yes I finally watched it too *__*)

now everyone head over to fav.me/d78lkib to see more of Petra and read about the contest that's being held until the end of May.

Do leave a comment telling me what you think of this and thank you for stopping by!

oh, no worries what so ever. I have been exceptionally inactive myself because of RL. I mean this piece was submitted last April, if I recall... so it's really been awhile. I'm hoping to get back whenever I get the chance. Apologies on my part as well.

This is amazing. You have really improved! She's beautiful and the colors you used are in perfect sync with each other.. I can't get my eyes of that hair.. it so fine and looks like thread, beautiful color as well.. anatomy is accurate.. I can't find anything that would bother my eye..  she looks like a goddess  

Can you tell me though, what speedpainting means? :S

Narzik In reply to Makkucha [2014-09-23 09:17:44 +0000 UTC]

thanks, sweetie!
I used speedpainting very vaguely here. To some people it means that they're given some specific time to themselves to complete something. Some mean it in the sense that they don't have an idea of what they want to do beforehand and they just paint away until they get an idea. Others refer to a specific painting technique while painting which doesn't use line art as such...sorry, that may have been confusing..

here is a popular example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTNmuJ…

it is indeed - it always seems magical to me how some people manage to get something so nice out of practically nothing *_*

Hi. I'm here via Rising-Artists Feedback Corner #12. I couldn't tell who was next in line, so I just decided to leave a comment on everyone involved in the top level comment. 

I really like this piece. Something about the shape and flow of your dress and the blend of colors reminds me of a peacock. I also really dig the sharp contrast between the cool, frozen background and the warm colors up front. My favorite feature is, of course, the hair, whose texture and shading is fantastic and avoids a lot of the pitfalls people fall into when they do purple.

I'm not sure I'm qualified to give a suggestion in improvement given the difference between us in artists, but I strongly recommend you check her spinal and pelvic anatomy against photographs of real people or the species she's supposed to be for future reference. I get the impression that her waist is much smaller on one side than the other, and possibly that her spin is twisted differently than her ribcage. It may not be wrong, but if there were anything here to double check, it would be that.

oh thank you so much for your thoughtful critique It's a good thing you pointed this out to me - did not notice how odd it looked before. The thing is, I actually used myself in the mirror as a point of reference, though needed to make adjustments based one the character's body structure. The waist does actually become a little smaller due to the bend (and perspective) in this pose (and from this point of view) and her elongated and thin waist is exaggerated here... however it would perhaps be more realistic if I left just a bit of a shadow for the place where the skin bends...Well, unfortunately I can't edit it anymore as this was a piece for a contest but I'll try to be more careful next time. Cheers!

Sorry. I wasn't sure what to critique for you! I hope I was helpful. I don't have the best eye, but sometimes I notice litle things. I figured it was worth mentioning.

not to worry (or say sorry), I figured I'd just give people feedback that they might find helpful without actually posting anything of mine there (I though that that way others get more feedback and more truthfully, I haven't had much time to draw anything decent lately :_D) but now I realize that that just creates a glitch in the system Haha, don't sell yourself short - it's always nice to get feedback on something you've made
