(Hello, I am coming from ProjectComment !), 
This painting is absolutely stunning! The green magic stands out amazingly, and you can almost feel it it's so bright! I just love it! Also, her eyes are very well detailed, and the bright blueish green of them makes your eye be drawn to them. Her hair looks perfectly like it's flowing, and it too is very well detailed, I mean, you can see individual strands of hair! The shading is perfect, especially on her face and hands, giving it an even more eerie feel to it, which is great considering that she's a villain! The only things that I would have changed is maybe a little bit of shading on the hair and clothing, it's just ever so slightly not contrasted enough, making it look a little bit muddy, but other than that, it is a VERY well done piece of art.

Thank you so much for your comment  
This character's colors are very light and it was kinda hard to get some nice hues to the shadows without them getting muddy ^^' but I suppose you're right

(You're welcome for the comment!) I can see that it would be hard to do the shadows, I mean, I couldn't do it. And tbh, it's not that muddy : )

Greetings! I am coming from ProjectComment  
Your drawing has amazingly popped out of the crowd with the use of your coloring. It looks fantastic because the shading and lighting matches the green tint from the overall composition and the feeling of evil and malicious is very obvious. Her facial expression is very mischavious and the hair movement make the whole picture very dynamic. I could already imagine some magic wind going on around her. Also the hair looks very very realistic! If there would be anything I’d suggest is to use like a green tinted glow on the edges, like aorund her face, if there would be a strong green light it would sort of cast a light aura on someone In certain area. Let me try to find a reference : www.deviantart.com/faeryazarel… Especially since her hair is very light and platinum the green tint would have specially been strong on some of her strands, for more of a dramatic touch. I am not sure if the background is the extension of her power or just simple but maybe you could have played a little bit with some fog like green foreground or maybe a soft night sky effect to enchance the eerie feel. But those are just suggestions of course!
Other than that the drawing is amazing. Good job!

Thank you very much for your comment >u< your example pic was something I was actually aiming for, but just a bit lighter. 
I had never played around with green tints before so this was a fun experiment and pretty good for my first try

I can agree it's a very successful first try good work! Doing colorful lighting is so much fun, I kind of abuse it in many of my pictures haha!

Omg yes me too, if there is no source of light I get upset.
I especially like when light is coming from behind the character

CuriousCucumber In reply to Vaixe [2019-04-23 07:27:48 +0000 UTC]

Oo yes rim light is the pretties thing ever!!
Neutral light setting is okay every now and then but mostly I'm like "you know what this picture needs? HIGHLIGHTS! That's what!"
and then I go add light everywhere

You have done an excellent job of creating a magical and spooky atmosphere, which is fitting for a villainous character! I must say that you have done an amazing job of her hands; the anatomy is excellent and in proportion. I can tell that you have worked hard at studying hands and anatomy. You have managed to capture her evil expression, which is not always easy to convey, particularly at the eyebrows. The lighting is superb, you have let the light hit in all the right areas and it illuminates her face well. My only criticism is that the shine on her eyes is a little too much and I feel like it drowns the colour of her eyes. If that was reduced and you put more colour and vibrancy in her eyes, I think it would give an amazing effect as this piece seems to be asking for us to look at her eyes. Her eyes are the centre point in this but they're being drowned out. I like how you've done her hair and you have captured movement in it too which adds another level of magic to the piece. I love the green colour too. Well done!

Thank you for your comment I appreciate it!
The hands were tricky I admit and I wanted her eyes to have this magical, wicked shine to them
