The flow of this piece is wonderful and very organic, starting at the top left and finishing bottom right the eye can just take it's time and take everything in.
The linework is clean and crisp which i like and the colours are very relaxing, the girls anatomy looks perfect and she seems very believable, i find myself really enjoying this art.

Wow, your designs are just spectacular. I love the energy that the flowers add to the piece. You can really feel your eyes being dragged through this picture. Wow, I love it!

WHAT?! I return to DA and find that I can only critique if I buy a freaking membership...
...
...wow.
Well you know what Gay!
...I'm going to say what I think here.
I love this piece! She's beautiful, very firm wild personality with a detail that I must say is quite lovely.
Well done!

Thank you so much! I am also disappointed that this function is membership only! Critiques help improve the community and I dunno why anyone should PAY to give them. DA should be doing everything to promote and encourage, not limit, in depth thought and criticism!

I remember being drawn to your gallery when I saw this picture on your page-- I seriously adore anything retro and vintage, and it fits in so well with your stylised artwork. It has a beautiful flow to it, especially the way her flower tattoo seems to just fit in with the design in the back, and even the way her body is drawn adds to the feel of the picture. I love you've taken so much care with the lineart as well, and it works so nicely with the colouring.
I love how detailed her hair is, and your work on the tattoos in general. If I were brave enough I'd totally want that flower tatt on her hip! This looks like it would make a wonderful ad in a fashion magazine as well. <333
The colours are absolutely luscious, especially the browns and purples ~ <333 They look amazing together! Brown goes wonderfully with just about anything hehe.
As for critiques (I'm too scared to use that critique feature), the only things that seem 'off' to me are her arms and hips-- one arm looks thicker than the other, and the left side of her hip looks a bit large, but that's just me, and it doesn't detract at all from how beautiful it is in general <333 I kind of like how her hip has that extra curve, because those organic shapes are so pleasing to the eye, and it looks very stylised as well <3
Once again, this is so lovelyyyy ~ <333

this is gorgeous! i just can't stop looking at the hair! haha
all combined, it looks so soft but striking.. the lines look delicate but there's still a lot of energy!
the roses and leaves are amazing..!

Thanks so much! I loved drawing the hair because it was something different for me, and the tight curls sorta made me think of flowers like roses.. so I thought the theme worked

Definitely chique I might add. The colour combo is very calming and almost musical as well. Cool stuff.

Wow, Kitton. I really like your colours. I know I told you already. But they're so mellow ^3^ Wonderful detailed bg here, and the hair is just.. wow
I'm to shy to use the critique function. But I will give you crits anyway ^^' Anatomy from her breasts and down is great. I love the curves (and the breasts :'D ). Be careful with the lenght of the arms though. The structure of her arms doesn't seem quite right. I would suggest using a mirror or a reference picture. And her jawline seems to strech too far back. Her ear should be visible in the area surrounded by locks of hair.

That's gorgeous!!!

I'm really struck by this piece, not sure exactly why. Probably because she's so graceful and I love the colors so much and she makes those tattoos look beautiful when I usually hate how tattoos look. the birds above her breast look lovely~
this is the first piece in a long time that made me involuntarily gasp when I saw it.

You're welcome; the picture more than deserves it! These look really nice, I hope they didn't hurt too bad D:

Tattoos don't hurt too much actually! Everyone was saying 'omg its gonna hurt so bad' so I was scared when I got it. It was really uncomfortable.. sort of felt like getting drawn on with a fine, burning hot pen. Sort of feels like getting pinched really hard relentlessly. So yeah, pain, but not unbearable or really scarring!

That's good to know even though I doubt I'll ever get a tattoo. One thing I do love is Henna. It can be done so nicely and it's not permanent <3 It does sound very uncomfortable though :/
