Artist's Comments

I like some of this but mostly... I just hate it. XD;

I like the pose and her outfit, but the anatomy is really off. :/ That HAND!!! : pokes it with a stick : The hand holding the spear. I couldn't get it right. :/ Not to mention the perspective is a little warped...

oh well. XD I just thought I'd share it anyway even though it's got its definite flaws.

If you want to crit feel free, I might learn something. ^^; I usually do. I wish I had reference for a pose like this but, it's kinda hard. I guess I could try posing in front of a mirror for the angle of the upper body and her ARM!! :cough:

But anyway... yeah. ^^;

Oh, just as an fyi for those I'm doing commissions for- I havn't forgotten you... I have just been having an incredibly hard time coming up with posing that I like. :/ I havn't been doing so well posing characters in a cuddly/romantic way lately. D:< Arg! But I'm trying.

I think the hand looks alright, but maybe bring the spear down a little? that is, make it a little further from her thumb... xD I don't know, that's just a thought.

Otherwise it looks great ^_^!

I don't care if it has it's flaws; it's still very pretty and majestic. Absolutely wonderful, Marie. :heart:

You should finish it, and I wish I could give you help, but i'm not as good as you, so I wouldn't know better! :XD:

I love the motion, and her head! I have characters with horns, and I could never draw them right T_T

I definitely recommend the mirror thing for hand poses like that, it's a little annoying to go through, but I find that it makes a big difference :3

I have no crit to offer, but I can tell you that I REALLY like the position of her torso and how the outfit accentuates it nicely!

Agreed! The way the hand is isn't bad at all, it suggests the spear would be more \ tho. Arrow more tilted down toward the right.

Otherwise I really love this. It's very pretty, the outfit is perfect.

This might not matter much but I have o say your trees are awesome.

As for anatomy i think her legs and torso look perfect. Im not at this level of anatomy so im not so good at spotting things like this but on her hand holding the spear maybe rounding where the thumb juts out will make it look better. [not that it isnt good...it is very good]

I'm beginning to agree with some of your other commenters. You do over-crit yourself a little; but that's what helps make us better. :3

Anyway, I think it's a great piece overall. I can see where you had trouble, and since you want some critiquing, you'll get it. xD Everything I say is in neutrality, so please don't get offended. ^^;

Her arm holding the spear is actually just fine. The spear should be angled so it's more parallel with her arm. Or, alternatively, if you don't want to redo the spear, you can redo her arm. Make it stretched out more to her back/side. Redoing the spear is less work though.

I'd also consider redoing the hand in the back. Maybe smooth it out? Also, if you fix her spear-arm, you might need to move where her eyes are looking.

I don't know what you have in mind for the rest of the picture, but is she supposed to look mildly scared? I'm also not sure if there's supposed to be wind blowing or if she's running or sitting. Unless those bracelets are real light they won't move that much in wind if she's sitting. If she's running, you're definitely going to have to redo that back arm, and angle the foot on the ground more to the left. Unless it's one of those mid-step twists, in which case the foot is fine.

Other than that, the anatomy is perfect. =) I wanna call her the nervous dancer now though. xD I'm sorry.

The anatomy looks good to me, if TECHNICALLY the torso is too short or something simple like that, it doesn't bug me so I'm not really noticing it. Only thing that really stands out to me is the one arm holding the staff - it just looks too short. But then again, if its bent then its fine and can just look right with correct shading and all :P I do so love those legs....so hoofy
