Nice work! I like it

[dha9000]

Really good style and colors! I think the arm with the lance should be more relaxed and i would try to place the other hand on the tree with the palm. Its just an a idea, maybe it makes the pose a little more natural. The mouth from the previous scketch its much better. Keep up the good work.

I love your style man. this thing is amazing

[nightblue-art]

@Steve_Kim: thanks!!!
@rgdraw: Thank you!
@petrovod: thanks!!
@dha9000: thank you so much for the feedback. agree with everything. I ended up hating her supporting herself with the hand after all... so here goes me messing things up even more per usual, hahaha
@HorizonDweller : thanks a lot!

==================================

Well. there's what, almost no time left why am I not surprised?

COMMITTING. for realsies.

Annoyed by my usual safe texture artist ambient lighting. Breaking all the things.

[rgdraw]

You're welcome!
Great progress looks amazing

[nightblue-art]

@rgdraw: Thanks <3

cleaning things up and making others messier... decided to turn her into a full-blown satyr because... why not She's my character and if she doesn't like it, she'll have to deal anyway...

[HelloAlexVo]

Your colors are too good! Loving it so far. My only suggestion is maybe de-saturate the background a tad so that she'll really pop! Can't wait to see the finished piece!

[rgdraw]

It just keeps getting better and better !

[JasonNguyen]

Wow this is looking great Grace, keep it up!

[nightblue-art]

@HelloAlexVo: Thanks! yes, defo still messing with foreground/background read... and probably will all the way till finish

@rgdraw: Thanks!!

@JasonNguyen: Thanks! Can't wait to get this done T_T

======================================

Painted on this more. Coming together a little bit maybe? Finally feel like I know where this is going.

[rgdraw]

You're welcome!
And this is beautiful!

[nightblue-art]

@rgdraw: thanks again

Running out of time as predicted. I might touch this up another 10% if I have the time but more likely this will end up being the final illustration. Still gotta sketch out the character sheets and stuff...

[rgdraw]

Looks great already ! And if you have time to push it even further it'll be amazing! Congrats !

[nightblue-art]

Thanks a lot @rgdraw

====================================================

It's been a lot of fun and as usual I'm left wishing I had more time and skillz learned a lot and that's what matters the most. Failed to nail the comp in sketch stage again but I did manage to go a little further before rushing to paint, yay ^^;

Does anyone know if there are anything else special I need to do to say.. formally submit this or mark it as final?

Edit: compressed image slightly so it wouldn't get resized.

Final illustration:

Final character sheet:

[pinshivic]

[rgdraw]
