Description
another color practice- study on metal and rust. I really like coloring metal now. please full view so you can appreciate the details. ^_^the piece started with the girl in nude, but I thought that she was sexier in a bikini.

The color work on the gun pieces is fantastic. You did a wonderful job depicting that old, used metal look. And it contrasts so well with the character and her soft colors, it's gorgeous. Great work on her anatomy as well. I love it!

Amazing metal and rust detail though the way you make the gun look so brutally deadly and the mit herself is something that's just stunning.
She would make the Heavy from TF2 quite jealous though and by the way the idea of just the bikini for the suit, its simple and pleases the eye, well done. Cheers irving-zero and please keep up the nicely looking artwork.

Nice piece, good job with the machine gun, and pretty sick pin up babe, i especially like her anatomy/proportions, quite unusual, but sort of alluring imho! ^_^

I would've compromised and made her topless. But i'm a Lecherous S.o.B.
Awesome work, sure looks like you've got rust down!!!
The style of this piece reminds me a lot of =scruffyronin and a little like =bokuman , all of you - superb artists!

The drawing's nice. And the gun does look rusted. But that's about it.
The problem with your coloring is that it's insanely flat, and that you only highlight to white. You also only use one color for skin.
The reason it's insanely flat is because you avoid darks like the plague. When you color digitally, you act as if they should look like watercolors. And even good watercolors can get darker.
That and, when you are coloring, it's fairly monotone. The only reason it's not on the gun is because you had rust, but the overall feel is blue. On the skin, you just have a really yellow orange color, highlighting to blue-white. It looks, seriously, like it's plastic. Lit up in some Toys'r'us display. I want it to have some life. Use some reds, and violet and highlight to something warm like yellow. She should look hot. Like I want to cuddle up to her. Not cold and lifeless.
Anatomically, her legs are way too big, and her head is too small. You also forgot to put a shadow of the gun across her legs. They don't interact at all.
Since I sometimes ramble on, here's a paintover showing some of what I said.

to sum up my reply, I just focused my colors on the gun 'coz that's what I wanted to study. and her proportions are my personal preference so no matter what anyone says I won't change it. I only change details based on a customer's preference, and on this case, I'm my own customer. Maybe people miss out on these details just because I don't post them. if it's on another situation, maybe I'd consider your comment more helpful. ^_^

'and her proportions are my personal preference so no matter what anyone says I won't change it.'
Ah hah, are you serious right now?
Well if you fancy a filly with a tiny little head, then that's your thing, I suppose.

well if anybody doesn't like it he or she doesn't need to look at it anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Except, despite your preferences, you still made the head bigger, and added the shadow I noted.
Even if you don't vocalize it, at least you can admit to yourself some things were off.

I have to be honest, her body is really oddly proportioned. Her head is TINY!
She's like, 9 heads tall. In isolation, everything looks totally awesome, but all together it's kind of off.
The coloring is phenomenal though, no worries there.

yep. many people notice my odd proportions. it's my own personal preference, though. ^^

Even though she's really distracting the gun is really amazing! xD I think I'd like her more if the bikini was redder :3
