Description This is Bip! She is a commander of magic. Dabbeling in all kinda but specialising in healing and light.
In this quiet scene something is brewing just beyond the horizon, although she, and everone else are blissfully unaware....

This is somewhat of a resubmisson. The original picture is here www.deviantart.com/deviation/6… < I wanted to re-submit it because I thought this new picture was sufficently different (and better) than the origanal to warrent a re-opening. Bip was my first proper drawing on the computor (besides oekaki) ever since I did the origonal one theres been qute a few things I've wanted to change, the first thing being the background, I was never happy with it, but at the time I had no idea what else to do XD now I think iv at least slight done it justice. I also completly re-did the face, much more anime looking now, although due to the akwward shape of the head it still looks a bit off, I think shes really cute now though ^-^ Also I completly tidied the image up and made varying line widths
Its weird and great to see how much i've improved, less than 5 month seaperates these pictures and I know iv improved a lot especialy in my completly new recent drawings

Looking at it now things are still off but overall I still like the image

Thats really just perfect.
the frame in the back is just perfect. i think much i would much prefer this to seeing eather a full backround or just the blue.
which is really one of my least fav colors, but it fits here just perfect

I really like the rework you did on the face. I dont know what you were talking about with the whole funny shape thing but all the features look fine just were they are. The background is much better too. Critique you can use or drop kick if you want: When shading skin tones (this holds true to any medium I have found) you want to use the warmer colors and avoid the cooler ones to shade (don't use black at all). Useing the cooler colors but esspecially black will tend to make the figures look dirty or washed out. Warm colors keep them looking lively (here is a link to something I did in PS [link] . Obviously he is more tan than your character but the Idea is the same. I when away from the yellow and more to the red to shade and I didnt move down the black barely at all [Obviously there are times when you need the color a little washed out but never ever shade with just black!!!!] The shadows on the surfboard were done the same way... by just moving up and down on the color spectum). (There are times were the cool colors can be use succesfully but you have to have the idea in mind before you do it and it will give you a very specific look [I will note you a link of an example when I upload it]). I think the skin is fine in this picture but I thought the sparkles were snow because of the shadow shade in the skin. Just some info you might find useful in your future endevors.

P.S. I think the anatomy looks fine in this one It is part of the character design. She wouldnt be near the same character if you changed it. You actually did a very good job warping the proportions so that they still fit together. Kudos.
