Love the choice of colors. The eyes really contrast against everything else. You usually blend the eye color with the piece itself but here you didn't. Why the change?(random occourance?).

The flames look really realistic (for a drawing, of course). A+!

Well... There is an Ice Sorceress kicking around in my head. But she is such a minor character in my writing... We'll have to see.

serious note: it turned out great and the lighting is done well. Shame about the pheixon being liquid looking than flaming looking, still looks good. think thats the first time you drew a girl with small boobs/bosomes/tits/ect.

This is incredible. The lighting is perfect, the whole image shows an incredibly dynamic sense of motion, and the attention to detail is superb. It looks as though they are leaping out of the image!

Again. its your fluid use of light that seems always so awesome to me.. Sometimes I can view your art, and the flames seem so realistic that I can almost warm my hands

Simply one of the best art you ever created! ^^
You really managed to illustrate the heat through the selections of colors on such a impressive way it became so captivating for me that I can't stop look at it and type on the same time. Just typing this was a challange.

Again, I am thunderstruck by the mastery that you have shown in drawing these characters. The sketch is phenomenal, but this piece is...epic. The contrast between light and shadow is clean, and I can almost feel the warmth coming from the fire she is channeling.
There is a sense of motion that is relating to the power she seems to be wielding. The more motion results in a more powerful effect, and it seems as though she is about to obliterate someone.
The glowing eye on the summoned Phoenix is nothing short of incredible, and I definitely feel like I have cause to fear the power the creature can unleash on its own...let alone the power of her spells themselves.
My only criticism is regarding Tao's eyes. And that is a minor quibble (that I am hoping will be fixed in the finished version) but I won't sweat it here.

Nice! Sharp colours, powerful composition, very dramatic and one of your most effective pictures to date!

In regards to commission, is this considered "single character colour illustration" or "full colour illustration"? (having looked at your commission definitions and prices)
I ask because I'm looking for a top-notch, professional arist to do the cover art for my novel which will be published this year, and what I have in mind is 1 girl with a simple urban background

This one goes in the Full color Illustration section
