Hey, you can actually see some process vids on youtube of some splash arts. They stoppes making them but there are still used once on their channel too. I think they have more detail and more depth, they are also rendered to the extreme, where they seem lifelike. I think you lack some anatomy and shading, you're doing great, so just keep going! Maybe do some value studies and rendering. And as I said, there are process vids on youtube! Also on Artstation you can find a bunch of artists that work for Riot, a lot of times they are on the front page and give a ton of insights on their process! The recent Evelynn one was on there too.

here's one from diana, it was done by Kienan Lafferty, search him on yt too, he makes very good art vids that are very in depth about art, so maybe you can learn something there too ^-^

No problem, you do great work. Sometimes it takes another someone to spot things when you have been staring at the same image for hours. Happens to me all the time, I walk away for 15 mins and when I come back I can usually spot my errors. Its just a simple trick I use, otherwise I rage quit. Keep them coming, beautiful use of colour too. Im still trying to set up my blog but im such a techno-tard I had to get help from the cubebrush team, im hopeless, but I can draw ok.

maybe a small shadow under the feet just to ground the character? Burlesque, wasnt that from the 20's? Black hair and red dress looks more like what you are trying to capture to me but then again I was born in the 70's so what do I know? I like the polished look of the red dress and that rough un polished look of the hand fans, works for me, great anatomy too, youve managed to capture that stylized effect of the burlesque posters from way back when. Very cool

You are improving so much with each new piece, it's really inspirational to see!! My only suggestion is I feel like alot of your poses are kind of.. staring forward with legs forward, basically floating or standing. You should try for more dynamic pieces! Maybe have one of her legs going back and one folded and going forward with the shield up? I am not sure how much you can change the current sketch right now.

I really like that Sailor Moon Piece!!

Keep it up really like the painterly stuff i think you just need to polish a bit more to level up on your work other than that stuff looks great im really digging the colors too XD

I have NO idea if you are looking for critiques or suggestions, so I don't want to over-step my bounds. But I wanted to see if I could "push" the pose? I don't know what you could do right now, since your sketch is pretty refined (( and gorgeous)) the only critique I have for the pose-as-is is i feel like the arms are kinda short? But it could just be the perspective needing more values around the elbow. You are a really amazing artist so I wanted to see if I could help at with your improvent.

* totally just used your sketch as a base by the way, you have pretty good anatomy!

!! I am so happy it's helpful! I can tell you were going for them extending towards the viewer, but I think you need to darken the values around the bend more and straighten out the lower arm some! the right hand looks pretty spot on for fore-shorterning around the wrist area though.
