Artist's Comments
This is one of 2 submissions I did for Udon's Darkstalker's Tribute book ([link]). I misunderstood the rules and did 2 submissions for the Darkstalkers tribute hahaha
My only goal was to do a standard illustration with 1 character, since I have a natural tendency to do weird poo. Even though this was what I spent time on as a "serious" entry, my other entry was chosen over this one. See the other entry: [link] CommentsYou changed the arms a bit! I think you nailed the overlapping on her arm in the front, and the additional highlight in the back makes it stand out more. The lighting tweak for her face is better overall in this one, too, makes me focus less on the boobage!
(This is Rene btw, I saved the first one Phi showed me because I loved it so much.. in case you're wondering why I'm making such stalker comparisons.) -- dren a si eneR || [link] [link] Yeah I think I did change the foreshortening on the arm. Lol you have good eyes, stalker skills are necessary to be an artist. I'm so glad you liked it so much , ureshiiiiii desu ;D;

You really did such a wonderful job on how you did Morrigan's greenish hair. I like how it flows and moves all around her. The highlights on her hair looks really good too.
Her anatomical proportions came out really incredible, especially her large chest and I don't see any trouble with it at all. The posing on this character creates a lot of energy on her.
The outfit that she's wearing looks so outstanding as well. Her facial features, including her eyes look incredible too. The same thing goes for the sakura petals flying around her legs.
In all, Morrigan is really beautiful! Keep up the great work there.
The main thing that could be improved upon is the representation of the lighting in this piece. Her neck is not reflecting the light source that is affecting her face for instance. I can see that you're trying to create an area of contrast to define the face's silhouette, which is good, but there needs to be some more light being caught by her neck, at least as it approaches the hair that runs across her collar. The arm outstretched forward is lacking a bit in contrast if you're going for a sense of atmospheric perspective. This lack of contrast is something I would probably apply to be whole piece, but that's more of a personal preference for tenebroso in illustration. If you were going that route I would likely suggest applying a little rim-lighting in the dark areas to further define the silhouette, such as on her left arm, the feathery edges of her costume, and her lower body.
It's hard to see on this deviation, but if you haven't thought about it definitely consider having some reflected light splashed around the image, particularly where the hair and skin come close together.
Overall though, this piece has some pretty strong elements to it. It captures the character nicely and provides an excellent sense of dynamism.
