awesome, nice colors

Very beautiful. I love the details in the hair and the textured flat coloring--great art deco/Mucha effect you've got going here.

^o.O^ Amazing beyond words! When you re-open for full commissions someday I would love to commission you. You are probably my favourite anthro or humanlike character artist ever. The bodies you draw have such a real fleshy look and their curves and style are beyond beautiful +swoon+ Anyways, this looks amazing coloured. I love the textures so much, especially the papery look on the brownish parts. The colours themselves were a nice choice too and make for a really pretty bit of eyecandy.

Human beings can always be relied on to assert, with vigor, their given right to be stupid.

I love the concept, but I think it could have used some minor tweaking.

Keeping the pattern visible underneath everything, I think actually distracted from the piece. By giving everything the same texture, it just kind of looks 'blah'. You could have kept the figure and the frame as is, then just cut out the rest of the background and filled it in with muted/neutral colors to make it recede so the figure would have stood out more.

I think next time you should really take advantage of some of the photoshop tools to streamline the designs. Having only certain elements precisely measured, then keeping the circle/halo and left corner sloppy is really distracting.

I'm sure your friend will like her piece though, it's really nice.

I can't believe someone would critique it so harshly....

Here's exactly what I think.

Perfect, I don't find the background distracting at all infact I like that you can see it thru everything, it gives it that REAL feel, not just manipulated which you see far too often even I have been so guilty of such so I applaud you for that! It ties everything together with just the right balance. Prescise...meh never been a fan of that either, I like that its not PERFECT in EVERY aspect to me that alone makes this PERFECT to me. It shows alot of heart and care was placed into it all by hand.... to hell with perfect, I love it the way it is. The bolder colors appeal to me they make her stand out all the more, Mea is very softly muted as it is, to mute the colors would lose that high contrast that is there now that makes her really pop. Further more I love the controlled shading, its not all over general shading, but only in certain areas, something you never see its all or nothing with most art. Everything here to me is perfection, it reflects the heart and the artist just as one's art should while at the same time capturing my essence so very well, if I didn't know any better I'd say you've been observing me All in all I LOVE this piece, the line art is stunning and to see it in color even more so! My deepest and humblest of thanks from the bottom of my heart, its beautiful and has really helped to make me smile, something that can be of a rarity lately. Thank you, again so very very much, thank you.

Artists hold their own unique style, it should be praised, never shunned or looked down upon. Expression bleeds through all art and if you "listen" carefully it speaks from the heart of artists

Ok, I'm getting seriously sick of 3rd parties interjecting/painting me like I'm some kind of flamer when I give my friends an honest critique.

It may seem 'harsh' to you, but having spoke more about my input with SP over AIM, she immediately agreed with the two points I brought up. This is what real artists do, they know how to both give and receive constructive critique.

It's not about 'erfection', it's about learning to self-edit. I wasn't and still am not going to come down on you for loving it without reservation, since I do the same whenever my friends give me gift-art. However, I suppose I made a mistake in thinking you would extend me the same courtesy when I expressed my thoughts over it.

It's really beautiful! I spent some time looking at it, I just didn't want to tear my eyes away! I absolutely love the anatomy of the figure and the way you've drawn the braids.

CAKE!

You and your details! ><
