that looks fantastic ^^
i really do love the bright coat and the delicious lack of pants.
you colored over a pencil drawing, right? pretty righteous job there, i usually just give up and put the lineart back on top of the coloring because it's EASIER
very nice design!

Nice job. I like how much detail you put into the clothing and everything. And her eyes are beautiful, what with the choice of colour and all. Love you art!

I agree with H-D, her eyes are very beautiful.
The insane amount of detail is awesome my friend, from the folds in the clothing to the tattoo on her leg. Everything looks very shiny and fun to look at. Her body looks nice, fleshy, and realistic. It all makes for a good picture. If I remember correctly, she is the owner of the casino. Am I not mistaken? With an outfit like that, she could also be a pimp. And yeah, in a way that is a compliment.
I really like the character established so far from what I can see in her expression, and therefore her personality and attitude. Not to mention her simply attractive and fancy attire. She seems to be a very strong type woman who has respect for herself and is not needing of that specific other, which makes me wonder why she does not wear any pants.

XD The pimp thing has come up before actually, but she wears the outfit for her own personal tastes.
The lack of pants thing is a part of the trait her race has for usually wearing little or shorter clothes than we would be familiar with. It allows more exposure to their sacred sun while still remaining decent. Plus...doesn't hurt to show off a little leg. XD

I am sure she gets a lot of gestures and flirts from strangers.

I see, probably best. Having a relationship would really distract from the job. But that however, would depend on who the guy is.
Either way, Skally is awesome. Mind if I she has an appearance in one of my stories?

That will be soon. Currently writing the introduction to one of my stories. As I was brainstorming, I came to the conclusion that Skally would be a great supporting character for the plot. May I ask of your opinion on that?

I adore the colouring here. <3 It's really good. Ofcourse it doesn't look prefect, but everyone makes mistakes every now and then. Me, I'm too obsessed about details concerning lineart and colouring, but I never really think it looks perfect. XD I also abuse the hell out of the blur tool, haha.
But yeah, I really love the colour scene and Skally's design, nice choice of colour.

alikatt91 [2009-05-04 15:28:54 +0000 UTC]
Love the colour scheme c: The blues and purples and pink really go well together, and she seems to be a very enigmatic character. cx
The colouring looks good for someone who has just started out using photoshop (I'm jealous ) but I do have one teeny question.
Are you using the burn and dodge tools for your shading and high-lights?

XD; Yes, I used the dodge and burn tools for this, but I've been playing around with other ways to shade as well.

What would you reccomend for shading and stuff? :3 Gotta learn from someone with experience.

alikatt91 In reply to Mech-Maker [2009-05-05 02:39:02 +0000 UTC]
I would suggest picking colours from the palette. Just like when you paint, you want to choose the darker shades and the lighter tints on your own The dodge tool should be used primarily for metallic surfaces, and the burn tool should be used primarily for areas with deep shadow.

....I love what you did with her eyes. They stand out so much c8 You're doing really well for your third coloring job, I must say.
However, the tattoo on her thigh needs work It doesn't fit in with the rest of her body which is done so smoothly. I think what'll also hepl is keeping the backgrounds clean, or to start playing around with the pen tool c: Keep it up.

Uuuh, just a beautiful colouring there ^^ You do very good with your new PhotoShop program already
We still see some sketchy lines here and there and like with the shine on her ankles and how the shine got on the blank piece of paper there too shows you are still learning and overlook a few details now and then.
But it is a really good start ^^

Oh you have beautiful eyes Skally
Great coloring here Mech, the color scheme on this was originally the one for Virus before I made him green. Of course I didn't use that scheme because he looked too much like a Blue Meanie. XD
