This is my first artwork I've posted here, so be gentle.

Jus so you know, the pose *was* taken from a VS spread.So i take no credit in that respect...

Suggestions are welcomed (and needed XD)

Wow... good work ^_^

Thanks kelenae!

If anyone is interested, this is the OpenCanvas movie file. It's really long so you'll want to uncheck the stroke option

good job, work on the eyes a bit tho, they seem too small and in the wrong place

Nice job! did you use a tablet for that?

Hehe I like the added high heeled thing on her shoes . Just a personal style thing... but I think her face is too round. I guess it leans more towards a realistic look rather then an anime-ish. Also her navel's groove is kinda big.

Thanks for your comments And I do in fact use a tablet, I got it for my b-day last year, it's nice being able to draw entirely on the computer because my scanner is really bad :sweat:

I see what you mean now with the face, I think my original goal was to have the head sort of flung back, which is why the eyes are smaller (my pathetic attempt at foreshortening) But I guess i forgot about that whole concept and broke off the neck from the chin instead of uniformly shading it. (lazy) well that's something I can remember for next time

Everyone make mistakes... just learn from them to make you better is what i say ^_^

Oh and one more thing...... I think you can handle the highlights and shadows pretty well ... If you want to get more fancy make that blue energy ball as a lightsource.
