This is for the upcoming EOY(End of Year) Anime/Manga/Cosplay Convention's Art Competition...
I don't know how i'll fare...but i'm giving it a try...
Anyways, theme is "The Spark of Hope",
So I came up with this piece.
Just want you guys to share your thoughts about this pic and how i can improve it before submitting it up to the organizers.

Felt that it was alittle bit tooo sparkly.. =x
Oh well, i don't know, what do you guys think? =x
Char & Art (c) Jiemi
EDIT:
Edited the wings alittle by reducing the whites and adding in alittle more detail as said by many.

About the lighting issue, i purposely wanted the wings to glow as well as i don't want the details of the wings to fade.. =x
Then again, i'd like to thank you guys for making really helpful comments and critiques. ^___^ =D

Anti Innocence Says:
Good stuff, but if you are looking for critical feedback try weakening the shadows a bit? They don't need to be that dark.
Best of luck with the contest.
