Her top has no straps I can see. It should slide right off her breasts. Then again, maybe it's being held up by the sleeves.

Hello, reaper.
I've been watching your work for a while now, and I really admire what you do. You are one of the artists I watch here, in advance of setting myself up to do more original, creative work, now that I am to the point where my professional commercial career is coming to an close.
Since you uploaded this piece, and it appeared on my posts page, I've come back several times to study it.
As usual, the over-all impact of your work is dynamic and captivating, but this piece does, I must admit, bother me a bit. Before I continue, I want to assure you that any remarks I make are born of a respect for you as an artist, and as a professional level illustrator. If I didn't feel that way about your work, I would not go the trouble of giving you my gut level professional opinion on this.
Had you not written in your comments on this piece that the animal she is riding is a tiger, I would not have known that that is what is is. It is not the coloring that bothers me, it is the physical construction.
I am not trying to be rude. Only helpful and honest.
I thought it was a giant rat. As a concept, I think a girl riding a giant rat could be fantasticly cool, but it is obvious that was not your intent when you drew this.
I thought long and hard before deciding to send you this post, reaper. I do not want you to misconstrue this as my putting your work down. I really like this piece. But the impression that the animal she is riding is a rat was very strong. I scrolled down to read your comments on the piece to get confirmation that it was a rat, and was amazed when you said it was a tiger.
The girl, the composition, the over-all piece in whole is a strong, attractive, dynamic illustration, as is usual for you. You are a top knotch illustrator. It is because of this that I decided to write this to you. I wanted you to know the impression I go in case you want to refine your future work so that the viewer sees exactly what you want them to see.
I think part of the problem is the angle of view of the animal. Seen from the top, the anatomy is a big part of the reason I get the "rat" impression. I strongly suspect had you drawn the same image from an angle that presented the beast more form the side, it would have been far easier to tell it is a tiger. It is because of this that I ultimately decided to write to you.
Had I been directing you while you worked this up, I would have suggested to you very strongly, during the pencil stage, that you work the anatomy a little bit so that the viewer gets the impression you want them to get on the final piece. Even if it ended up being slightly anatomicly incorrect, I might have suggested that you elongate the body, and show more of the limb structure, in a slightly exagerated form, so that the animal did not appear so low to the ground and wide through the body. Tigers are lean, sleak, strong animals. When one views a tiger, one gets a sense of speed and power. The presentation of this beast suggests to the mind of the viewer that it is squat and low to the ground, and perhaps a little on the slow side, but very strong.
I also might have suggested you bring the stripes out a bit more than you did. I like the color choice, and the way you toned and shaded them, but it might have helped a bit in seeing the animal as a tiger if the stripes were a bit deper and stronger.
Once again, in closing, I offer these thoughts to you out of total respect. I deeply respect the level and quality of your work.
In 2 years on this site, I hae "watched" only 13 people. You are one of them.
I sincerely hope you are not offended, and that these remarks and observations serve to help you in the future.
Respectfully,
Darkmir

at first, i appreciate your concern for my works. in fact, your reply is so long and i cannot read perfectly because i'm not good at english. so i hope you understand.
you really think the rat is cool? hm... i cannot understand.
i already know my skill is not absolute and see i think i have to practice more. so some mistakes(for example, anatomy) may be found by the people that watch my drawing. if you point about that, i can say "it's my fault ." because it's just the fault as i said.
sorry but if you wanna give an advice that i can understand correctly to me, write the reply shorter and easier than what you typed already. now i'm so hard to read your words.
i'll wait your new answer. thanks

The art is very good.
The tiger looks like a rat to me. Too fat and too low to the ground.
Work on the anatomy. You can exagerate antomy to make an animal look better. Remember it is a fantasy piece, not reality.
I admire your talent.
I would like to see more action in your work. You are very good. Stop doing all standing poses and put more action in your work.
Just a suggestion.

hm... okay. i think like you it's too fat but i think an animal's body is bigger as higher to north.
so i draw the tiger's body bigger than the real thing.
anyway i appreciate your opinion b'coz you write your opinion again for me.
you're a so good man.

Very good work on this. The style is very clean and subtle.

I really do not know what to say. I'm finding similarities in her face and the tiger's, but that just makes a tasteful addition to the brutality of having skulls in her hand.
The umbrella, as well, gives it a morbid, graceful feeling. Good work.
