Description
I wanted to do a fighting inspired illustration featuring tiger people. The background is a real place from the forbidden city in China. Thanks for looking!Related content

Wow, its a small world. I've sold this piece at Katsucon and Otakon for the past few years. I'm guessing someone bought a copy from me and gave it to you. Pretty cool, huh?

well, i'm not really into anime, so i don't know what to say about it, but i'll try my best
the characters are detailled, but i don't think that they fit into the background, it looks like they were copied into it...

Hmm, I did draw them all on the light table around the same time. I can kinda see what you mean though.

There's always more to learn, but it's still pretty good

The girl looks really good, very pretty. I like her hair a lot, and the colors and shading look very well done. Her pose...well, the upper body martial arts stance pose looks good, and the stance of her lower body looks good, very energetic and in motion. However, the two parts don't seem to mesh...Her body seems twisted much too much at her waist so the upper and lower body seem kinda like two seperate parts/poses spliced together.
The tiger-guy looks good, I like his expression, his little smile/smirk. I think his pose looks very static, especially when compared to the cute girl's very dynamic pose.
I think the scene of the whole is very successful, with the background and the shading. The background is very detailed, but more importantly it's quite captivated and full of depth; it doesn't at all look flat. The shadows being cast by the characters show how they are a part of the scene, rather than just sitting on top of the background. Everything works so well together to form the one piece.
Very nice. : )

I envy your background skills. 
only thing that looks a bit weird are the shadows. they're both pointing a different way, as if there are two different light sources.
I esp like the guy. it looks like he has more details compared to the girl. Maybe because he has stripes.

Yeah, I think I see what you're saying. Technically both shadows are pointing in the same direction but I didn't really calculate in vanishing point. My bad. Lotta reference on the background image.

It seems like the cast shadow from the female should be more horizontal. I dunno for sure tho.

I really like the tiger guy in the background. I'm curious, though; what move is the neko-ish girl in the foreground doing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think she's doing a move as far as dodging her opponent's attack and being in a ready stance. You always face your opponent and have your gaurd up, at least as much as you can.

it looks awesome, and the tiger guy looks really cool

I really love how you got the movement of the girl who is fighting. The expression is also wonderful, showing how involved she is in the fight. One thing that I would suggest, though, is to move the shadow more under (especially the part that shows her bending leg) her. The way it is positioned makes it look as if though her knee is about to hit the pavement.
I hope this helps!

Hmm, I'll double check that shadow. Thank you for the well thought out comment!

The perspective, coloring, and the body of the guy in the bathroom are great. The girl however seems to be twisted in a strange way. Besides that, i don't see any problem with the picture and it's pretty good.

She was supposed to be dashing away from her opponent yet twisting to face him. Opponent not in the picture. Thanks for the comment.
