Description As part of the seal system prisoners are able to move around in astral form close to their place of imprisonment.

Monkey's prison was gaurded by a ninja clan who were led to believe what they were gaurding was an evil upper level demon. on the day she was scheduled for release the clan sent their top team of ninja to kill her (atm 4 sisters). One of their younger brothers however thinking he could do it alone to prove his ability goes in alone.

Surprised that Monkey isnt a demon he still attacks her, the weakened monkey still easily defeats him but refuses to kill him. As she stumbles away the sisters attack monkey. A second fight later the weakened monkey is bout to be defeated when the younger brother jumps in to deflect the weapons hurled at monkey, resulting some scratches and the loss of his left eye.

Monkey makes her escape the second the sisters drop their gaurd (from the surprise of seeing their brother get hit by their weapons).Monkey shortly after tracks them down to check on wolf (placeholder name for the brother), seeing he lost his eye she make her presence known and offers her own eye to repay him for saving her.

Monkey is part god and has self regenerating ability's making her eye regrow (over the period of a couple of weeks).

Wolf recovers but gains the ability to see through monkey's left eye and vice versa. They are also linked to eachothers emotions through the eye, causing some imbarrasing moments at first but monkey quickly learns to shield her emotions from wolf.

It's a fairly unique looking character, but the coloring needs work. I see heavy abuse of dodge/burn/default brushes. It would be better to actually paint in the shading and highlights with different colors rather than to rely on these tools. Most beginners don't take into account what it is that the dodge and burn tools actually do. As they mainly target the saturation and brightness of a color, they don't usually yield the best color when painting a CG picture. They are more appropriately applied to photographs that need touching up.

Also, if you're striving to make your CG paintings look better, I'd avoid those built-in brushes like the plague. most specifically the leaf brush and the grass brush, etc). They're fairly overused and have a tendency to make your finished work look like you just couldn't think of anything else to stick in the background, and grabbed a convenient brush as an afterthought.

it's a nice concept and a good start, but the technique definitely needs a bit of work.
