Description Alright, I'm done farging around with this for the moment. I may go back in at some later date, but for now I'm as happy with it as I'm going to get without throwing myself and/or my monitor out the window.

Anyway.

It's Clia (the woman) and Raven (the man), a couple of my characters, actually pre-story; you wouldn't catch them dead this close to each other in the timeline of the actual comic. (...Ironically they are both dead in the timeline of the actual comic, but that's about ten paragraphs worth of explaining and I just don't have that kind of patience right now.)

ANYWAY thanks to everyone for all of the very helpful feedback, it was very appreciated and (in most cases) insightful. The other two versions are deleted out of my gallery, as I said they'd be, so sorry for the two or three of you that didn't listen to me and faved them. : p

Wowsy, awesome work there. I absolutely dig the folds and light on the clothes' fabric. Are there any good tutorials for cloth-folds around somewhere?

I'm not aware of any, unfortunately. You could try googling for it.

verry nice overall, but did you want the facial expresions that way? it seems kinds boring, but really great job overall, motivates me to strive to such excellence.

Very nice job, i really like how you painted the fabric to look so realistic, and the composure of the characters are both very well done

Alrighty- my thoughts:

Ok, I've been reading and watching you work on this piece and I just wantn to say it's awesome.

Onto the critique! (LOL)

If, for the most part, these two wouldn't be caught dead with each other, why are the girl's hands underneath the man's cape? I know that when I'm awkward with someone, there's no way I'm going to get closer- even if it's just putting a hand on their shoulder! If these two are so distant, I wouldn't put her hands inside the cloak. *shrugs* (I know you're taking a break from this piece... so it's just a random thought).

Everything else is fantastic! The background, figures, blending, colour selection... it's just !

So that was my ... *grins* Thanks for putting up with it.

You did wonderfully with the final rendition! I'm proud actually because I was able to see it progress. Sorta makes someone proud of the artist who did it.

pickledeer [2004-03-22 23:16:50 +0000 UTC]

Excellent I see you addressed all the issues that were brought up and then some. It turned out great. Did you run into problems with her left hand like I predicted?

I'm glad to see that I haven't lost my critiquing touch as indicated by the fact that you incorporated nearly all if not all of the few suggestions I made as well. (I've tried to stay active with ~critiqueme but I've been bad recently.)

Speaking of ~critiqueme , don't think I've forgotten about the whole "poodle in a tutu" thing, although I imagine you have. I'm still going to do something with that idea eventually

and, before I forget, I'd feel bad about seeing this work progress so far without giving it a fav...

akumyo [2004-03-22 23:13:12 +0000 UTC]

I think you captured the characters personalities in this picture. In the earlier attempts one may have thought it was supposed to be romantic in some way but now it looks like he is about to push her away with his cloaked arm. I like the new BG a lot too, the giant rock in the first WIP didn't really fit and the new skyline creates more atmosphere. I like how you solved the hand problem, I would have done the same thing Great job!

Yeah.. I tried and tried to make her hand look right and finally I just said "screw it" and stuck his cloak over it.
