Description 'meh' pose aside (the weight isn't right), I like this.

With the colors I'm trying for a harder brush set with manual blending as opposed to blur blending. It compliments my lines a bit better, I think. I'll be consciously trying this style in future illustrations and pushing it a bit more in attempts to reach an even more controlled rough look.

With the lines, I've been thinking a lot about negative space and decided that I want to start toning down the amount of little lines (especially on skin) and leave room for the colors to flourish. Fabrics and other things will remain the same as a bit of contrast.

I added the enlarged version of her in the back because I like her face. Originally it was just a purple rectangle.

Tools: Sketchbook Pro/Intuos/Adobe Photoshop

Aziza is the main character of a project of mine titled Mythos (previously Mother of Misfortune).

Thank you. Glad you like the design. I keep making tweaks to it because I want something memorable, but subtle. I think I'm forever dissatisfied.

I think you're dead-on with your decisions in this piece (based on what you wrote in the description.) This illustration is really strong, and I think your style will work really well with the choices you made

Your words make me happy. lol

But really, thank you for the comment. I think it's difficult for some to see the significance in small changes like the ones I'm making, so I'm glad that you understand.
