Description
Commission from a co-worker for an original character. (original outline: [link] )Well, the dude came to me and has now changed the character, so I'm done with this I guess. The new character is now a test monkey instead of a girl. Go figure! LOL!
Ruff break down, but nothing solid:
The character is a femal teen who is a direct relative of Doc. Holiday the wild west gun fighter. Handed down through the generations is a duty to vanquish dakness via a curse placed upon the family line. She has the cursed weapons of Doc. his colt navy revolver as well as his knife (maybe add some other stuff like his walking cane, but make it so there is a sword in it and he also always wore a tie pin which had a diamond in it which the diamond was missing when he was barried. Maybe the diamond was something more and he had to protect it, don't know yet.)
I did here fighting lke zombies just for an idea, but they might be done as old west fighters come back because they were really cursed beins of darkness that Doc killed in the past, maybe they resurrect every so many years or something, don't know.
I did enough on this, far from perfect, but I guess I'm done with it.
Oh, I suck at drawing females, but I think she came out ok so far.
Please let me know what ya think so far of this!

ok...let's get started.
Your base colour tone is decent, but rather than using a pinkish tint, take your base skin tone and darken it, that's gonna help to start givign your pieces a bit more depth.
Gun shot = really digging the blur, but I would say add a white burst in the barrel of the gun. The motion is great, but there's no explosion. Adding a white burst will really push that gunshot to the foreground in a major way.
Stomach = don't paint abs on a loose fitting t-shirt. to me, it looks like her abs are printed onto the shirt, rather than being her stomach muscles. You can a) paint her abs under the shirt as well or b) lose the abs altogether, either will work fine.
the blood splatter is great but it flattens the image like a bug on a windshield. Play with the emboss tool, try and give the blood a few highlights where it's built up. Like his forehead.
Where her leg meets the hip, add a shadow there. take the dark tone i suggested earlier for skin and darken it again. Use this only in certain areas, leg meeting hip, under arm, under the zombies pecks, her boobs, etc.
hair, small, soft brush. paint like a hairless monkey. grab a small smudge tool and ease out the results. this will give her hair more detail and look great.
You use a lot of bright, strong tones, but what i've learnt to do (though help from many
I hope tat helps mate

Cool, thnx so much!
I see everything your talking about and I'm glad because now I can look out for those things.
I have a lot of trouble with picking out colors especially skin tones, I suck at it. Believe it or not I darkened the skin tones on this, the girl and the close up zombie were ghost pale originally. It worked for the zombie, but not for the girl. Unfortunately for the colors I use half the time I think it's darker cuz I work on my laptop and don't actually see it in a more realistic color until I'm at home on my home pc and then it's super bright.
The gun shot is just a brush I picked to use. I knew something was missing, but didn't know how to add it or what it was. I see that it was the actual blast.
The blood splatter was done with brushes and I knew they looked flat, but wasn't sure how to fix it at the time.I did darken it in some places, but not enough, so i know better for next time. I need to learn how to do the blood on my own, but my blood doesn't look like blood when I do it.
The shadowing I need to work on for sure, I know this and am working on it.
The hair is a pain in the butt to me. I've looked at a few tutorials, but I haven't improved that much on it.
I'll work on picking more muted tones cuz I know I need to do that. Things I do are too darn bright! LOL! XD
Thnx so much for taking the time to do this. I truly do appreciate it and will take all of it in gladly and try to apply it.

If you look around on dA, several artists have posted their colour palettes, which can be a huge help
float around the pro's galleries, if they haven't done blood yet, they probably will and try to pick up a few tips from their style, that's how I get by
Hair can be a huge pain, but once you find a way that works, it's gonna make the time and effort worth while
dude, no stresses

Yeah, i usually look around for tutorials, but never found one for blood, I'll have to try and observe someone's piece and try to figure out how they did it.

blood and hair can be incredibly tricky, blood more so. The best way to find out what works best is to just keep experimenting until you find the right combo

All the blood + not censored xD

Well, there is no nudity or anything like that, so why would it need to be censored? I've seen way worse tuff uncensored. Well if that happens then I'll know why and just change it. Thnx for the heads up!

Great Job!
It would be sweet if you gave her some western wear like it was passed down from her ancestors. Maybe a vest holster and a bracelet or two.
The posses and anatomy are great!

Thnx!
There is a lot that I don't like about it still, but I didn't want to work on it anymore since the person who requested it changed the main character of a girl to a monkey! LOL!
Oh well. I'll just leave it as is for this.
I might still use it as the base and add the monkey instead of the girl or something, don't know.
