Description I've been really struggling with my artwork lately, and battling feelings of "not being good enough." I'm sure a lot of artists out there can relate to that roller coaster of feelings: being extremely proud of your work one moment, and then feeling overwhelmingly disappointed in yourself the next.
So, I spent a ridiculous amount of time on this, and looking at the final result, I could cry from how happy & proud I feel.

This is a new character I designed, and I think I'm going to call her Sibyll.
Just a flat color for now, as I'm hoping to use this to throw together her reference sheet if I have time. 

I would really appreciate any feedback you all have on her design/the artwork, so let me know what you think! ;3

(Sorry it's so big, I haven't had a chance to transfer the file from my phone to a computer to scale it yet. I'll be replacing this with the final scaled file as soon as I can get to it!)

Wow, what a gorgeous character!
I love their facial markings especially.
I think my only critique is that the crystal could stand to be a little more opaque and/or shiny. Unless it's a super dense and cloudy crystal you should be able to see the outlines of the head through them.

Thank you so much! <3
I was actually thinking of the crystal/mineral of the horns as opaque (not able to be seen through - like raw fluorite, or something similar), super dense and cloudy, but with a polished finish. They will probably have some added shine on future images that include shading & highlights, or I may edit this further /shrug/
Nothing is ever final with me, and I was already thinking of some other subtle things I'd like to add as well ;3
Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it!

Thanks! The horns were originally the cream color of her under coat, but they seemed a bit plain so  I played around for a minute and found that I really liked the way the blue looked against her brown coat ^^
