Description
Name: Mystique VerzoneAge: 26
Abilities: Archer and mild magic.
The clan are predomenantly archers, however they have a mild vein of magic through the generations. They have adapted there magic to help them with there archery. The magic circles on there wrist guards manifest arrows from the energy in the trees so they do not have to carry quivers. The magic infuses with the energy from the archer and the trees in the arrow so the arrow can be manipulated by the wielder (this enables them to fire around bends etc.) However it takes alot out of the wielder so is not used for prolonged periods of time.
The magic circle incorporated into there belt helps with there centre of gravity so the archers are easily able to balance in the highest branches of the trees if necessary.
Mystique and her 2 older brothers were orphaned when mystique was only 9. Her brothers were both in there late teens and raised her. They live with there clan deep in the forest and are hired out to other villages and clans as protection on missions or to protect borders.
This is my entry to RPG contest.
I got some advice from and in form of a critique on my work in progress, they spotted a few things i had missed, so thank you for that
Thanks to for her tutorial on magic circles and for the moss, glitter, aurora borealis and leaf brushes.

Mmm-I like the final result! Nice job!
I just think that the contrast in colours on some places is too strong. Like on the tree behind her for example. But it still looks nice.

The only things I can spot is that her shoulders are too close together, her left arm is much too short (if it's bending, you should put a line showing it's bent), and her top finger holding the bow looks unattached to the others. But it looks really good! She's a lovely character and you have wonderful coloring and shading skills I like the story, too! Good luck in the contest <3

agh yes i see the finger now - it was darker as the wrist guard was attached between those two top fingers but when i adjusted the levels it just went dark so yes it does look unattached - bummer. Yes i messed up on the perspective with her (thats why her left arm looks short) It was an error i was unfortunately unable to remedy by the time i noticed it. The bow was meant to be more in front of her so if i had got the perspective right it would have worked better. But meh - lesson learnt for next time I didn't notice the shoulders before, but the far shoulder is not really shown as it is behind her head as she pulls the bow back and the front shoulder is meant to look hunched (the curved line by her hair is her shoulder, but i guess i didn't get that right, oh well next time
Thank you for the critique - i will try to fix her finger up but the rest i will just have to work on in the future
thank you for the compliments on my shading and colouring - that used to actually be my weak point! lol
thanks again

Ah, alright, so that's what happened. I look forward to seeing more work from you
You're welcome. I'm sorry I critiqued, I don't normally do that. But it was just a beautiful piece.

oh no, dont get me wrong, i am glad you did It is much appreciated, that way i know what to double check next time. I wasn't trying to make excuses or anything, with my response, I hope it didn't come across grumpy, cause i wasn't. I like to get critiques, the original lineart had some errors that i had not picked up on and with the help of critiques i was able to remedy as much as i could
I am glad you like it so much Makes me proud that you thought so highly of it
thank you

*NOD* yeap, the pose looks better like this
And you're right the skin could use a bit more of shading. If you do it, then choose a coulour that's a bit darker that the shadow tone you've used so far. Just for contrast.
Oh and I had no idea this is an entry for a contest! Good luck in that case!

I definately will use a darker colour, it is so annoying sometimes cause when you are zoomed in and working the shading looks dark but then you zoom out and it doesn't, then you add backgrounds and adjust the levels and it doesn't - lol
Thanks for your help and spotting stuff i had missed
Yeah it is only my third contest entry - I am not good enough to get anywhere - but I like the challenge and having a focus to draw

hmm maybe you are right, but her leg closest to the tree (her left) is meant to be slightly in front of the left leg as she is standing side on, hmm i am having trouble explaingin the stance, but if i have to explain it, it means i didn't do a very good job at it hehe
