Description Well, first and most importantly. Credit for the lineart of this pic goes to *sayda . so any comments regarding the this should go to her.
A link to the lineart if anyone else would like to color can be found at [link]

Right !!!
This really isn't a usual thing for me, coloring someone elses lineart isn't something i make a habbit of doing. Not sure what it is but generally i dont like doing it.
BUT ! This was an exception. I thought the original was brilliant and although mine sucks in comparrison i thought it would be a good chance to practice on my coloring a bit more. Mainly lighting and shading and what have you, which is something im still pretty rubbish at.

I really enjoyed doing this, and it made quite a change.
anyway, a big thank you to *sayda for letting people color this !
Quite a few things with the coloring im not happy with. but, this was good practice anyway, so i dont mind the mistakes too much.

Awesome outfit that she's wearing. I like the lightning effects coming from her left arm.

You always do well with lighting and effects. I can agree with some of the suggestions others have made here, but that doesn't keep me from being impressed.

This is fecking brilliant...
Wow,i could see this being a great model to sculpt...
Purple is my fave,as you know,so awesome choice on colours there!!
2 things spring to mind though,constructively...
A)- I know you didn't draw it,but left legs looks 'possibly' too foreshortened...but easily arguable lol Its still great.
B)- I'm liking the fact you're going for the OSL again.Object Source Lighting is a tough one to crack,if indeed anybody has.I would suggest maybe that the spells power wreathed around her arm would effect more of her body.the spell has quite a bit of body,so would 'glow' rather well,especially in what appears to be a very dark landscape!
Having said that,shes beautiful,and im +fav'ing her .I may begin to dislike you
Hehe. Wow,keep it up hun.
