Artist's Comments

submission for a contest by ~mairuku. this is one of her characters. i think it turned really nice, and i like the background muchly ^_^.
unfortunalty there have already been a few awesome submissions :( *sad*. ah well. we will see.

one problem, i made the torso too long!!! :'(. if ANYONE knows how to remedy this problem (keeping in mind i used 20-30 layers) and compress the stomac area, i would be forever indebted!. i only noticed this problem after it was all colored in, and it i might had well start over for the amount of time it would take me to fix it, so i fiddeled with it to make it less noticable and hope its not a huge problem lol.


well tell me what you think, and tell me how to get better!!! *crosses fingers* hope i do well ;p.
thanks ^_^

Left eye looks weird, because it looks like it is attached on her hair.

Giving a fav only takes the click of a mouse. Giving a comment takes some thought. Don't give out favs without comments, the comments are much more meaningful.

Puuurdy :aww:
Well, you could always stretch the bottom half of the body:jawdrop: and make her legs longer...
That way you dont have to mess with the torso anymore:boing:
Or you could just take the hips in and up a bit...seems like her hips dropped. :faint:
Other than that, I can't think of anything else:shrug:^^;, unless you want to start all over again...yeah...there's always that :plotting: LOL:lmao:
Good work! I hope you guys do well in the contest.

OMG!!!! -has a spazzure-
your colours are AMAZING. I barely know ANY guys that can coordinate colours well. T_T my goodness. You should see them in my Infotech Honors class. One guy has a bright blue background with yellow text, another manipulating his image to be pink with a bright yellow foreground. Maah goodness, it's like...hell in there O_O

And now, it's great to see that all hope is not lost. XD I absolutely ADORE how you've portrayed Shouko here. =) Her anxious face; her hopes, and her fears---all that comes with being a leader of a huge nation.

So, this is absolutely AWESOME.
I'll give you some tips though. For one, it'd be best to shorten the torso (the middle half of the body, neck to hips) and lengthen the legs. Hmmm...for tutorials...
[link] and go to the tutorial section. It'll help you out quite a bit. =)
You've improved so much.
And this is so awesome. ;_;
ahhhhhhhhhh. -twirls- You guys are great. T_T

oh, and an idea for fixing the torso. =\ might be iffy though. (so save another copy).

Why not merge the layers that are for shouko, and keep the background as a seperate layer? Then, using the transform or selection tool, move the hips higher and somehow paint in the gaps and what not. it could take a good 30 minutes, but it's definitely possible. ^ ^

:iconbadkhemmie:
First of all, let me say, the background is awesome.

Yeah, I wanted to really help you, but the fact that you DID use so many layers is pretty overwhelming.. it'd be pretty tough shortening her torso (just above the hips) except she's got an arm there too, so that could get changed.. which would in turn alter the staff's position too x.x see..

However, it IS colored very well, you color way better than I do.. I'd like to know what you do differently in photoshop .

And you're definitely improving your stuff at an alarming rate :) Good work! :hug: And good luck with the contest.

Love prose?

:iconchiquita-lateh:
LMAO!!!!!:rofl:
This is starting to sound like lyposuction (or however you spell it) LOL
Well, make the curve of the hips not so pronounced, hence, make them smaller, take off a bit from the sides, and make the peak of the hips a bit higher.
I thought I was the only one who fought with me LOL!!!!
Well, in that case, I must have misunderstood.
I hope you do well in the contest ^_^

This isnt displaying?:confused:
What is "this" that you are referring to? The contest piece?
I know that they were saying in the Hot topics that there were some problems
With things showing up in the right galleries or on the pages or something
Maybe that's why?:hmm:
I know they also said there were problems with the DevID also and the Featured Deviation sections. Keep trying, if that doesnt work, then...submit it again or something:aww:
