You're absolutely right. But this is a contest and you need to draw a character to win. And usually quite simple characters win and more often female ones.

Don't get me wrong I totally get your statement about winning and all...but some of us are also here for sharing stuffs/ideas etc, encouraging others and improving.

Some of us know we have almost 0 chances to be on the podium (because of skills/experiences a bit low etc)...or even to be in the 50th first.
But we are still here because Art War (friends and other stuffs too) is keeping us motivated.

Although...I think you're right about the second sentence ^^'
So...should we all quit (or start again from scratch ?) if we don't have a female for the contest ?

I do not know, I do not know =)

It's all good...my deep apologizes for my previous comment if it was making you unconfortable with...
I'm just totally unsure what to do with all the ideas & stuffs I have in my head, but can't really put on paper (well, screen) properly...

Your illustration is looking good !
Just curious if you're going to add something on the left corner or you don't really know yet ?
Branches coming from underground and/or fairies, sparkles or something ? Or foes ? (but maybe that's too much to let the image breath ?)
Excuse my curiosity...

Love the color tones! 💚 Especially the character and environment design.
( wish we could escape to such places ⭐✨)

Beautiful illustration! Hopefully one day I can achieve this level of skill O: . I do enjoy how the contrast draws the eye to the main character - my only problem is the straight trees in the background look a little awkward somehow when I look at them... they seem almost too uniform and straight, especially next to the larger tree on the left and how spiraled and curvy the characters look.

I could definitely see this character being in WoW or LoL to be honest, lovely design <3

That's always what I think about my work xD (of course on a low low low level compare to yours ^^')

Great redo : O
Love these waterfalls !

Good decision to switch the comp. In this new one she's not in a deep forest anymore so your lighting might have to change to adapt to that new setting

Keep it up !

Wow that's beautiful! Love the color and composition

Duude.. Had to go back to the top just to make sure this is a hero. Would be really hard to defeat with that mean looking Sentry standing there.
