I used this to make some pratice on the dress and flames.
I don't really like small swords but well, it not that bad and i tried something new with wings, i think i'll use again that style ^^
And no background... T.T one day i'll make a pic with a background that is not black... lol

Hope you like it

Physis Says:

Totally Awsome work here!
The Colors are very nicely chosen, the shadeing is very good! Well I am noone to rate that but I am just poiting it out.
I love the pose! With the looks she has on her face it is alomost like she is telling her enemy 'Come get some'xD
Those flames you made give the picture a Wallaper feel. Since I have alot of 'em with similar styles of lines and curves.
Well to make a long story short! This pic is Epic Win! xD

the look of the character remind me of one of the naruto,ye know the one kiss, on the second episode.
the armor is something that came out of a squaresoft game.
the swordremind me of beuty(a character a made)
luck on your work.

well for the most part it looks very cool. nice contrasting of colors, and the smoky effects are cool.
i have a few complaints, though. the most obvious one is the size of her lower body. it's just too long, especially the legs.
her right hand looks a bit awkward. just the way she's holding the sword doesn't look natural.
her face looks flat. i know it's an anime-type head, and is thus immune to realistic proportions, but if you were going for the 3/4 view, you only went partway. the foreshortening on the eyes and the degree at which the nose is turned don't match up.
my final gripe is that there's just too much blank space. you managed to fill it up nicely on the left side with all that smoky stuff, but there's almost nothing there on the rightmost part of the picture.
as i said, for the most part, this picture is well done, but there are just a few things you need to work on.
