Description
This is based on a character description provided by someone else... so it treads that fine line between an original pic and a piece of fanart, and I never quite know which it really is.Spent pretty much all of today colouring it, which in hindsight might not have been the best idea as I'm not entirely tired of it and not sure whether it's that great or not.
I liked the sketch, but I think things slipped a bit thereafter... she's supposed to be holding a couple of metallic fans, one of which is completely folded up and the other unfolded a little, but I'm not all that thrilled with how those turned out. She's also supposed to have somewhat demonic and leathery wings poking out of her back (that's what the odd brown lumpy thing is), but I don't think that worked out too well either.
Used a weird mixture of cel-shading and airbrushing for the colours, so... yep, more experimentation, but this took longer than I would've liked, and I'm not sure the results were worth it. That's how experiments go though, I suppose... wouldn't be an experiment if I knew whether it would work out or not XD
Anyway, I must say some positive things! Ummm... I like the actual, like, normal girl part, so that's something. I think the eyes turned out quite nicely? Ummm... might be a bit less static than the other things I've drawn lately, but not sure about that. I think I need to be doing more dynamic stuffs... and quicker... X3

Great artwork! I can feel the drama in it, like being forced to war just to achieve peace, that sort.

The skin color looks really nice and nicely done on the soft style shading.

Ahh, the hair, the highlights, whatever you say man it's another work of art. I think the fans worked out just great. It's good to see a steady flow of work coming from your studio.

Lovely! Again, your eye-xpertese shows, really powerful. And amber this time... interesting.
I've noticed you can always make a female look sexy without making them look slutty or as if they're trying to seduce someone... the sign of a great artist in my humble opinion. Have you ever done a Samus Aran out-of-power-suit picture? I'd love to see you do one of those!
Slightly odd that there's only one visible wing. With the curvature and thickness of the "spine" (I hope you know what I mean) on the visible one, I sort of expect to see anothe poking up behind her head...

I think it looks really good, way better than anything i could do.
The wing is a bit unnoticable but the fans came through good, I could tell what
they were. The girl figure is really good and the eyes are beautiful. .
Over all I like it, tahnk you for sharing.

The pose here is great, and your color choices made it even better. I agree with you that the eyes turned out well -- I think that does a lot for the picture...
