Description
[link]I have a SO-not-secret girl-crush on the duchess of Swansylvania, Featherika Von Strangeduck, from one of the Ducktales-episodes.
So, in between my commissions and art-trades I still wanted to add some 'valentines'-stuff - and obviously my view on Valentine is sleazy half-naked people with sultry looks in their eyes - such a hopeless romantic
I spend a lot of time on this piece and would love some feedback, mainly in terms of colouring, as I had SO much trouble choosing them.

what Grandmaster said down there - except of course it's darlinK, instead e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="
" title="
(Wink)"/> And I'm thinking there maybe ought to have been a slight shading on the clouds or whatever they are, under her. I respect flat backgrounds, it's just that it looks...off when she's sitting on it. It makes the light-source slightly unbelievable.
The coloured outline, however, works very well indeed and helps the sepia-art-noveau-ish look she's got going.
I'm not sure if the folds in her corsage? bodystocking? whatever is completely right around the tummy. Unless it's leather, silk or satin, fabric is rarely that shiny and given the soft shading you've done on the rest of it (the corsage-stocking), it does not look like any of those materials. At least it shouldn't be so shiny on the lace-bit.
Other than that, the texturing is very well done - they look as what they are supposed to. Especially the hair and the beak I adore. Perhaps you could add a *very* slight graininess to the stocking, just for the effect of it?
Very nice curve to the boobs and the shading in general is very pleasing, not too soft, not too harsh, just right.
I think that's all I can think of right now that I don't believe has been said. Hope that's a bit helpful.

"AWWOOOOOOGA!!!!!"
Let's see:
I don't remember the character, I probably do but just forgot since it's been so long since I watched Duck Tales. The design is awesome. Your choice of colors are perfect. Her pose is correct every way but I think you scrunched up the knee on "her right" side a little to much. Doesn't look like it's popped out enough. Course, I could be very wrong on this. The lighting on her is spot on (especially like the sparkles), but there may be parts where some lights should be as well as some darker shades. Then again your style of art doesn't focus on heavy lighting or heavy shades, which isn't so intense and is more pleasing to the audience eyes. The corset design, her sultry eyes, her eye brows, her curvaceous figure, her heels, gloves, and her outrageously, wonderful hair are just perfect. The background looks like stitching fabric, which adds more to the design. The best part about this is it seems you made this all with traditional methods.
Very well done, darlin'. I dig your talent every single day.

I too had a crush as well. It was not just her figure; it was her personality and body language as well that made her sexy to me.

Featherika is just such an awesome character it hard not to have a girl-crush on her!
I love the coloring, love the sparkles. My favorite part is the design on her corset.
I'm just a little thrown off by what she's sitting on? It's a nice texture, but with the colors I'm a bit confused as to what exactly is going on there XD

Makes two of us
Actually I just went lazy - I wanted them to be pillows, but I really have no idea of how to draw and colour objects - I hope to get back one day and fix it up again

I see. Well, you know, it could just be me, but I feel it's always better to speak up about something than leave the artist with no critiques of improvment~

I really love your use of textures here. Both in the soft padded cloud-thing she is sitting on and her outfit. You always do such nice shading, too. I love that you love Featherika so much! Such an unloved character.

Thanks ^^ I hope my love for her makes up for the lack of attention though XD
She's just too darling to NOT.

It IS rather nice to see someone take a shine to her. When I first saw the episode, I KNEW I wanted to make the von Strangeducks related to the McCawbers in some way. So Ari and Featherika would be cousins.

XD The MaCawbers sure get around.
But I can only encourage people into putting more attention on her ;D My favourite duckette ever.

Do you know what she reminds me of? Coffee and chocolate. Rich and creamy.
I love all of your works, but I think you've outdone yourself with this one. The lighting and shading is gorgeous and the pose has so much wah-wah-woom to it. I love how she's lounging in the clouds (like they were made especially for her), I love her corsage and I love her knee. The only thing that I will nit-pick about is her thighs; they look a little odd to me. But apart from that this picture is pure eye-candy.

They're supposed to be squished from the elastic of her garters But I see what you mean, and I so appreciate your comment ^^
Gotta love everything chocolate-and-coffee-inspiring.

So much sexu, so much glitter! I really love this one: the colors you chose were fabulous and blend together nicely. As always, the pose and expression are stellar and I just love the cushions she's sitting on! (So fluffy!) Excellent work!

I think the coloring fits her, something in gold and dark red/maroon ^^ Her pose is very sensual too I love the texture you used in the bodypiece and thouse little glitters that surrounds her ^^
