new version of one of my older paintings

Yeah thats indeed a very frustrating feeling D:

Your new works are very lovely tho! Especially love the fairy one in the sunflower, I'm actually quite curious to see the difference between this one and the old one

The feeling on the portrait is quite intense, good job on that
Also, the last one has a clear composition and feel well balanced. The armor is interesting and clearly not generic.

However, on the flower one, i feel the contrast between the foreground character and the background is too strong. The character is really sharp, while the backgroud is really blurry, even near the character. Maybe with some sharper eges on the green area around her would help ?

Oh by the way, i like the colors you use overall

I think you're right. Adding more details where she's sitting would help a lot, especially since we're zoomed in really close to the flower. The rest looks good though.

As usual I love your colors

@flotos Thanks for the criticism! Yeah, I agree with you. I will pay more attention to this in the future
@cedricgo thank you, I will improve on it!

here we go. The idea was that she is some kind of vampiric guardian, which guards some ancient relics or something like that, so she doesn't need to move much. She plunges her "spears" into a robber, then connects their body to her back and suck their life juices to maintain health and happiness

art test for game studio

[malcom]

I haven;t seen your work in a long time. Really awesome stuff. You've really been leveling up. Any news on the results of the art test? Don't have to answer if you don't feel like it.
Keep up the good work man.

[vambam]

Thank you, glad to see you! Still no answer -_-

She is some kind of undeground sci-fi thug ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This last design is really cool. There are a few things that stand out though. Hope you don't mind the Paint over
One is the anatomy of the character. Her neck it pretty long, the left arm I believe can be a bit longer, and the lower leg section can use some re-working

New anatomy

Before and after anatomy

Anatomy layer off

The colors in the piece look really awesome and I love how the character pops.

Hopefully you do get an answer from the art test. Seriously best of luck and keep up the good work.

[vambam]

Wow, thank you so much for such a helpful critique! I think i screw up her anatomy using liquify tool to find her clothes shape and didn't notice it

[malcom]

No worries. I do the same sometimes. A trick I use I keep my anatomy on another layer so if I go to far I can always check it and fix areas when needed. There's other things i do but this is something you can try out maybe.
