Description
Qynn, she lives in the forestAlso I'm lateee 'cause i couldn't think what to do for this day
Copy-paste time:
Gotta say that most of the characters i'm gonna be creating for this challenge are up to adoption for free (but if u wanna give me anything i will appreciate it lol) just don't sell them pls, i mean, is free, don't be a jerk and profit out of someone else's work. The reason why i'm gonna give them away is 'cause at the end of this challenge i'm gonna have 31 characters and probably not gonna use most of them and i feel bad for them (i have that bad habit of creating characters then don't use them anymore).
If someone wants any of the ones that are gonna be up for adoption just write a comment on the post of the character you like saying you want it and i'll update the post with the name of the new owner.
EDIT:
is the new owner

As an artist who is just diving into the human form, one of my favorite types of art to see is the complex structure of the human body simplified to its bare essence. Though the end result consists of simple shapes, rendering those shapes is deceptively difficult. Not only do the shapes need to be drawn correctly and confidently, but they also need to be correctly placed in three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane. Even when the form gets stylized, making it look good still takes some impressive technique.
This is a wonderful piece in terms of character appeal. The use of rounded simple shapes and saturated colors makes the character look very pleasing, and the colorful hair draws the eye right to the face. The leafy decoration around the character's body provides that one little splash of detail to make the character visually engaging like a garnish to a meal. The hands stand out as the most impressive aspect of the picture, as the fingers curl in believable directions and invoke some impressive depth.
Here are a few small things I noticed that could be improved: The one-piece outfit she's wearing fits around her form very snugly, perhaps too much so. If it weren't for the color, it would look like part of her skin. Even the most skintight outfit tends to go out at least a little from the body, since the clothing itself has depth to it. You can see in an image like this what I mean: Sittin' Pretty
Her neck is a little too thin compared to the size of her head. Her left eye (our right) is a little too big and should be pushed more to the right based on the angle of her head (even if the style has no nose, it's good to know where the nose would be to help gauge the distance between the eyes). Finally, her hair has the same issue as her clothing, mostly in the front. It looks like her hair has been glued to her forehead instead of falling in front of it. A little depth goes a long way.

Hi there from ProjectComment!
This is a really great character design, and congrats for getting so far into the challenge! (I normally lose motivation half way through... ) I love your linework and colour scheme, and the shading is well done and mostly accurate. The overall design is really cute and encapsulates the theme adequately but subtly. I really suck at anatomy, so I'm not gonna critique that but I can leave some other general feedback.
My main criticism is to do with the composition. Generally, posing characters so that the lines and curves created by their limbs and torso lead the eye around the page and back into the focal point, which is normally the head, unless you decide otherwise. You've actually got a reasonably good pose going with the legs and torso, maybe you could tweak the arms and hands a little but otherwise it works. My main issue is the leafy vines that are twisting around her, they are a bit distracting. Of course, they are essential to her character, so maybe experiment with some other ways they can be incorporated. The other thing is the background - simple backgrounds are fine but if she lives in the forest as you said in the description there should be some forest elements in the background to aid her design. Or, if you don't want a background, leaving it white is perfectly fine.
Great job on your character design and keep charging on with the challenge!! (Congrats if you've already finished...) Happy new year!

Oh thanks for your feedback, i passed to your gallery and your artwork is really unique and interesting.
You're right, maybe i added too many vines around that really don't match too well with the overall character, and i admit i was a little scared of going to a more complex background and then fail horribly but i guess the lack of it made the idea a little confusing.
Is one of my new year resolutions on art to experiment more with backgrounds and get better at anatomy and shading.
Thanks again for your comment, i'll keep it in mind on future artwork. Happy new year and I wish you lots of success.
