Hello, I was just wandering some groups and came across your art e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="390" title=" (Smile)"/>

The tone that is expressed here, I think is one of this picture's greatest assets. The nighttime background coupled with the cryptic character creates an edgy, urban and mysterious feel that attracted my attention. The way the character is posed and accessorized keeps the viewer guessing; it is also hard to know what she is thinking or feeling so that also adds to the edgy feeling of mystery.

Now in your comment, you mentioned that the proportions may be off. There is a sizable anatomy-perspective mishap when it comes to the railing. You can't see it because the canvas cuts off. But, if you traced the diagonal lines from the bottom of the railing, it defines the amount of floor Touka has to stand on, meaning that her feet would have to be drawn directly below the edge of the canvas to fit--making her legs really short. Likewise, the railing is too short. (Most skyscraper railings would come to at least waist level, not thigh level, but ignoring that), For her to have her arm bent at that angle, her hands would be near her waist, meaning her arm is too long.

The biggest thing that I think would help the unity in this piece is more harmony in the brushes you use. Too often things go from sharp to smooth at a level distance. Ex. The highlights in the flame/cape? are sharp, but the wardrobe itself is smooth. The yellow lights on the left are smooth vs the windows on the right which are sharp. The best approach is, if you want sharp and smooth, add sharpness to the focus object or closer objects, and blurrier or smoother effects to the background.

On a final note, be careful with perspective. The roofs of the tallest two skyscrapers shouldn't be visible. Remember where to establish the horizon. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title=" (Wink)"/>

Before I sign off, I'll reiterate that I like this piece still, just could use refining. On the plus side, I think the color choice of blues and reds worked really well, and the lighting too. It can be a challenge capturing nighttime successfully and avoiding an image that's too dark; plus I think if the character is the focus, the wardrobe and expression are also what came out the best/smoothest in this piece. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="262" title="Thumbs Up"/>
