Description
for the last challenge of the year over atConcept char from scratch. Given a brief description of the char we had to come up with what we thought she should look like. I went for more of the pirate look with a pinch of sorceress. Also i created her bow. The Bow of the Golden Wolf. When used by a sorceress it is imbued with the nature of her powers. Our heroine being an ice sorceress, hence the ice arrow.
enjoy. Comments and critiques welcome and encouraged.
peace and love

Rendering that is tough! The shadows in gold are quite weird and its hard to get the bright bits right without plowing head first into orange. With the blueish glow from the spell I think that you did a great job avoiding greening it out.

now that i look at it closely, a few.
the legs beneath the knees look a little too thin, need to be thickened out to balance the body more. the arm holding the bow should be longer. as is since she's holding her arm out straight it's too short.
the other part of the critique may be a design element so this one is more up to interpretation. the bow seems a bit unbalanced like maybe it leans in more from the bottom, though i can't say based on not being able to see the top. I would also recomend putting a notch type section where the arrow would go. the final part of the critique is you have the arrow shattering as if it is moving forward but luna is still holding her arm and string as if the bow if the arrow is still in hand. if she's let go then her hand should probably be open and the bow string no longer taught. )
as for the rest the design is beautiful, colors superb as always and the effects are marvelous. i quite envy your magical ice effects here.

thanks for the critique. I wanted her to have thick upper legs but not so much the calves. The bow has no string. its magic and when she makes the pulling motion the arrow forms where it would normally. I wasn't sure exactly how to make it look like the arrow is coming together. maybe in the downloaded version it is clearer. Thanks again for the comments! happy holidays.

yeah, she may still need more muscle below the knees but that's my interpretation. and no problem man. happy new year to you as well.
