Description
Nure thought she knew the hydrangea temple in and out, but apparently she has never considered there to be something behind the smallest bushes in temple garden.It was an accident per se, she was jumping from branch to branch, eyeing the humans taking pictures and playing with her familiars, when she missed one twig and fell into the
purple and pink hydrangea bushes. Jumping to her feet and shaking off the small leaves, she suddenly noticed the three tiny buddha statues on this small rock where the sunlight
broke though the flowers. Have they always been there? Was this an offering from someone? She felt strangely drawn to the old figurines, they seemed to give off an aura of harmony.
Climbing on the buddhas head, she noticed the stone was heated up from the sunlight.
"This is amazing" she thought to herself, "I'm gonna make this my super secret hideout".
Super omega overdue second art trade part for WiviAdopts ; v ;
I know I took far too long with this, please forgive!! I really hope it was somewhat worth the waiting~
I know it isn't quite the temple setting, but you said something about a close up with the buddha figures you sent me as reference
and I thought that was the cutest idea~ Also hope the little story part was alright, I couldn't find much description of Nure's personality, so I just guessed~
In case you're wondering if I forgot to add nure's colours, they just vanished when I applied all those filters and adjustment layers haha //tears
...I also saw her updated image a little too late, so no sapphire in this, sorry.... :c

The whole idea of this is super cute - I love love love those little statues! The subtle green on them is really nice. And heck Hydrangeas are REALLY hard to draw because of all those little flowers! I also really like the way you used lines on Nure but not the background - it's an interesting effect (I do the same thing with characters in watercolors). The only thing I can think of outright that would really help this is perhaps adjusting the foliage in the background - it's super transparent, which makes sense as leaves are not completely opaque and light does come through them - but I can imagine that if you were to make some of them a little bit more opaque / light-blocking, it might help create a bit more depth.
I hope that's an okay critique - despite years of art school and knowing the benefits of providing helpful critical feedback, I seem to struggle to do it online with people I don't know personally! Which is funny, because it's usually easier to do things online with people you don't know...but that seems to be an exception! I guess I'm always afraid that it would be taken the wrong way, because you can't hear the tone of voice or anything, you know?
Overally this is really beautiful - the colors are so summer and playful and vibrant, I love the little buddha statues and the sense of light and warmth. Especially on a dreary day like it is here today :3

thank you so much for the super detailed feedback c:
I hadn't even looked at the leaves in detail, but now that you
said it, I really see it too!! I'll put more attention to it in my next piece
especially since the brushes aren't fully opaque so I gotta tweak the settings
a little!! so thank you tons for this c:
also I really get that, I'm super afraid to step on someone's feet when giving
feedback, even if asked to do so! But you really don't have to worry about me, I do
have a history of getting defensive, but that's long ago, I really learned to appreciate feedback
and value every critique people have (if it's reasonable and not like "well it looks shit" hahaha~)
because as much as I thrive on compliments, they don't help me get better c:
so no worries really and thank you loads for the nice words too ofc!! I found an artist that
I totally admire and they have this painted realistic background style with their cellshaded
lineart-characters and it just looks like straight from a really amazing animated movie *-*
I'm trying to learn how they do that, I can send your their tumblr if you wanna see c:
