Artist's Comments

First off sooooooooooo sorry :iconanimefreak2345:. I took forever with this commission ;_; I've just felt so burnt out and I've been so busy with wedding planning, but it's wound down quite a lot so it's all good. So I'm alive!

Haha anyways this is Fiona, animefreak's character. She's a bellydancer. I know people haven't liked me showing too much skin in the past, but it's her character :p

Critiques


:iconshouyume:
I think that the facial features are the most dominant elements of this piece. You've used a lot of warm colors to keep the theme of the piece consistent, but then you gave a really nice lighting to the fabric which has caused it to look almost iridescent, a nice quality for an exotic looking fabric! Even though her hips aren't at an angle, the pose of the arms and the flowing quality in the hair and clothing give this a sound feeling of movement!

In regards to the figure herself, I feel that, although the face has been given ample attention, the values of the shading on the rest of her skin on her body is a bit too hardened to give it a three dimensional feel. I feel that it also lacks shading in certain areas that could be defined more, giving the character the three dimensional effect she lacks in her body. Also, to catch the eye a little more, perhaps some shine could be added to the discs of the tambourine, and perhaps a bit of white glare in her hair, in a similar technique you used for her eyes, the most beautiful feature of the piece. With these small changes, I believe that she could be much more of the mystical charming beauty that you seemed to be capturing.

Even though there is some scope for improvement on the fleshing out of the visual, I must say, you have once again proven yourself to be a fine anime style artist! You have an excellent grasp of the style and anatomy, not to mention a good eye for poses!

(Disclaimer: I'm not much of a drawing artist, so feel free to take anything I say here with a truckload of salt.)

Now, this is Fiona, so let me get the design thing out of the way. She came out pretty good, although she looks a lot more petite then I had in mind, but that's no big deal. I do like the blush on her cheeks, and her hair is beautiful, and I love the design on her top :aww:.

On the other hand, she doesn't quite have the impact of your other drawings. It's almost a bit drab compared to your other ones, but that's not really a big deal. She almost looks a bit chibi, but it really adds to the design.

All in all, it's good :). From the sounds of things, you've been really busy as well, so you can disregard most of the criticism I've put here.

I have to say, this is a good picture but you might want to change the color of the background. I would suggest a light blue, you know kind of like an island backdrop type thing. That way there's not too much of one color.

woah thats so hot
