Description
This is my contest entry for It is me as an archer for a RPG game.As i mentioned in the title it is a work in progress.
I would really like some critiques and to know if you spot anything that is out or isn't working or what you think of the colour scheme. Especially with lighting as i am no good at light source.
Only details, textures and a bit of tweaking left... having trouble working out how i am gonna do the eyes.
It is meant to look like she is standing in the tree, although i cant quite get it to work right so any tips greatly appreciated.
Thanks to for the tut on magic circles.
Moss, leaves and beams brushes by
Oh and the perspective is out somewhat, that is something i need to work on

It's really beautiful and I think it is going to be a nice drawing in the end.
But what's wrong? Well apart from the perspective mistake with the hand mentioned by our respected teacher (hugs Alera xD), I think there also is a problem about her balance. it seems she leaning a tad too much towards the left side. Now standing in a tree, that could be really dangerous xD. I'm not sure if you can do anything to repair if now, but considering you kept the lower body the way it is now, my opinion is it would look a lot better if the upper body alone was rotated a bit towards the right, and that more of her weight was on the leg that is to the right (my/vieweres's viewpoint).
And to make he look like she is standing i the tree, although the picture is sort of self expalantorym you could draw in some branches really close to her, not only in the far background. They don;t have to be thick. just a thin one crossing before her leg will make her seem included in the tree.
As for the eyes, the colours i reacommend:
-take the purple you used for her clothes with the eyedropper, increasse the saturation and brightness, and I think that would work fine;
-or a golden tone with a little tint of green.
Good luck!

You're welcome. Watch out though! At this stage, it's quite hard to edit the body position right, so if you do so and think it doesn't look right, you'd better go with the way it looks now. Well, I trust you to do your best, and wish you lotsa inspiration once more. I'm really happy to have for once written an helpful critique!

Hi there. I have uploaded the new version. I have taken what you said onboard and rotated her. Let me know what you think if you have time. Cheers

I think it looks pretty nice so far. The anatomy is a bit off but...I don't know how you could to fix it at this time. It might be a bit too late! O:
But I'll tell you what I find wrong just for you to know,alright? 
First I think the head is a bit too big. Compare it to her showlers for example.
Another thing is that the perspective on her hand that is holding the bow is not good. Now it just looks short. You should have made it a bit bigger. Remember-the closer something is to us-the bigger it is! This is one of the many rules in the perspective and it's like...the most simple one of all.-lol. Though it's one of the most important.
Keep working and let's see how this will turn out! :'D

Hi! I tried to shrink her face (but i didn't do it much so you may not be able to tell..... but yeah. I couldn't fix her arm/hand unfortunately, but if you get a chance, can you have a look and let me know what you think. cheers [link]
