Yeah, just want a quick opinion on this >.< It's going to be a futuristic crazy apocalyptic version of my original character... Kyna (which... yeah I made as my bm.) I thought it would be fun to take her out of her usual fantasy realm and do something else lol. Anyway I've been working on the face all day because... well, as I found out the hard way, my line art was WAYYYYY off. Any suggestions and or commetns?

    Wow, awesome work, Kyna!
    I like those eyes the most o_o So realistic (but not hyper realistic) and shining :O

    The only thing I'm not too sure about is the ear (it's alright and so, but I think I'd only display the tip of the ear and let the rest be covered by hairs... but that's just me).

    Other than that, superb *thumbs up*

    It looks great to me, personally. The only things I can think to say that would make it a bit better would be to mess with the ear a bit if possible. It looks a little misshaped as well as too far out. Seems like it should be closer to the face and behind more of the hair.

    The other thing I can say, which isn't a problem, but something I think could make it better would be to add some stronger highlights to the hair. I'm not sure if I'd go pure white on them or not, I'd have to mess with them myself to be sure how that would come out, but definitely something stronger and lighter to give it more body. Just not overboard on it, just give yourself a direct light source and only add the highlights closest to that source, and very sparingly. I'd like to see how it comes out if you try that. :)

    ^^ Thanks guys

    Yeah I know what you mean about the ear, I just got so caught up doing the face that I kinda neglected it for now lol. This is most certainly a work in progress ^^ so don't worry much about the hair, I plan on fixing how flat it is. It probably also didn't help that when I started I didn't realize the resolution was bad... by that time I had already done the hair,so when I bumped up the resolution to 300 dpi instead of just 72... the hair looked bad lol.

    Well good luck on continuing on it! I do hope you'll show us when you're finished, but I really do believe it look very good already. I'm sure you'll be able to work with it until it looks perfect and shouldn't take too long since so many aspects of it are already just as they should be as far as an outside view is concerned.

    Her right eye (the one on the left as viewed) looks like it bulges out the side of her face a little too much. At least in my opinion it would appear to be a bit puffy, even for a face with wider set eyes. I'm imagining how it would appear head on..!! The grafted on ear has already been mentioned...

    I was kind of undecided as to whether or not to say anything about the shading definition on some of the characters features, to soften it a touch. Thinking about it however, it could ruin the impact and attitude you are trying to instill into the character.

    In all honesty, I very much like what you have done. b:cool

    Quite nice! That's a great improvement so far!! :D Great job! Keep it up. Its good you've not got frustrated and quit on it. I have to say, the white undershirt looks awesome with the material texture and all. But I'm not sure what to suggest. For the top shirt, the grey/black, it does seem a little flat as far as texture goes. Is it leather? If it is, maybe it would be worth it to go in and really detail the little 'scales' as they'd be. Or perhaps just give a bit more stronger highlights. :3 The only other thing I see is that the hand are a bit off. Not sure how much can be done about that, because I know how hard those suckers are... :< I think what I see is mainly that her right hand's middle finger is a little strange. Perhaps not far enough behind the other finger for the angle. And then her left arm gets a little too thin, especially at the wrist. I see the attempt there with having it look like its behind her, and it looks great apart from I think you went just a little bit too thin. Then her actual hand on that side I think could stand to be a little longer. Not the fingers, but the bulk of the hand.

    Other than all that, it still is coming along great! Keep it up and don't lose patience with it!
