NO matured but should it? Nakkidness... hmmm

Looks different eh? I tried a more textured, intensely lighted style. Not sure if its liked or anything but I actually find a CONNECTION with it. I dont know. I feel happy doing it but if people think it looks really gay in a non happy, non boy love sort of way, I will probably mess around with the style a little more. I'm not really definite with what sort of work I want to do yet.

So she's a goddess. :D With big pinkish hair and golden skin. AND A CROWN AND FLYING CLOUDS >:) Heheh. Originally this began as a anatomy practice cause i was failing really hard at life and I was doing stuff. But it grew and I really liked her body. It had a piece of me imbedded in her I guess so I sort of fancied it. Lol. Then i thought big hair is good. BAM there you go.

The background is actually really nice by itself. I might upload it later. See how happy I'm sounding? I havent drawn in a long time and i'm really proud of myself. :D .. though i got lazy with the scarf, hair jewels and a bunch of other things.

Please give me some feedback on anything really. Good, bad, random, anything really. I want to get some opinions on where I should take my work. Should I pursue this harsh lighting? Should i soften it? Should the lighting look more color than whites or blacks? Different opinions?

What do you guys think I should try next or should I do more of this style? ... and THEN sort of decide. lol Alright. I will shut up .

This is awesome :) I say do what you feel is right with the direction you want to go in. The art will only become as good as you want it to be in the end.

I personally enjoy every bit of this, because I'm able to see natural flaws of the human body, which in turn makes it look realistic.

The background is quite lovely as well. The only real question that crossed my mind is if you went about coloring it with a different method than the character.

So yeah, I'll just say it again: This is awesome :)

I can only see two problems here, that I should point out; xD
her side, the one facing "us" doesn't really have to much of a crease, I think that's a way to put it. And also, her foot looks funny, I think it should be pointing forward a but more.
But, all in all, your anatomy is spectacular!

Only four comments? This is AWESOME. Other than just loving the piece as a whole, the figure and the hair just really pulled me in. Fabulous, fabulous hairdo there, love the texture, and it really pleases me to see a more "realistic" sort of body than some slim little big-boobed teenager.

the fact that she is voluptuous, and not a size one is what is most attractive about her.

it's hard being someone whom constantly worries of their size and weight to look at other people's art, as well as her own, and see nothing but the 'perfect female figure'-big breasts, thin-thin waists, just tiny as can be. and people look at that and say 'that's hot! that's perfect!'

so then when they see a real female-one that may be sporting a bit bigger of a size, such as maybe a ten or twelve [yes, people nowadays really DO consider that "plus size"]-and that's all they do, see, and say. 'she's a bit heavy, isn't she? she's a little chunky with those curves and rolls..she's just FAT!'

i get sick of it. it doesn't help with mine-as well as MANY other girls' issues regarding weight and size, and just supports eating disorders.

kudos to you, for seeing that a woman bigger than a size one to three can still be fucking gorgeous.♥

Bravo!

jack h Says:

This is absolutely GORGEOUS. The texture makes it look very soft and elegant, as do her pose and expression. I also like that she's not stick thin :3 This is wonderful <3
