I have seen this one on your facebook page and I really like it! As always I love the way you combine digital with traditional. The hair is really good and have that lovely shiny shine like in a schampoo-commercial! (that's a compliment lol)

Anatomy is good here also. Her hips/legs are a little big but I wouldn't call that a anatomy-mistake since those things are more about personal style than anatomy.

LOVELY clothes! Where do you get your inspiration??

If there was something I would point out would be... that "pew" thing doesn't fit in, I would remove it imo. Or place it somewhere else on the picture. But other than that, I really like this one :3

Thanks Mirre! I'll see where I can move the pew...or just remove it. lol

I'm glad this one actually came out so well.

The clothes are from the online game I've been playing. Megaten online. They have a lot of great outfits for our characters that I find inspiring and fun to draw. I still like making my own clothes more though.

(DA seems to have a bug where I can't accept your crit so it can show up on the picture... ya know about this?)

Oh wow! This turned out very well (O_o) I have a lot of line art I need to color but I can never seem to get around to it (^_^') I need to get my own scanner too cause I haven't been able to post a lot of my pics; the ones I DID manage to post were thanks to a friend letting me use their scanner (T_T)

I know how that can be. Right now my problem is that my sketchbook's paper doesn't fit my scanner! It's so frustrating...I should of just went for a normal sketchbook. ><;

Thank you~

Mmm, sorry. I'm quite indifferent about the pew and =BittersweetDisease is someone I trust greatly with critique about my art.

One can't please all. :<

Whoa girl, your Copic skills amaze me. I wish I could learn from you. ;-; What colors do you use for skin tones? I have such a hard time with overlapping color and such. Outfit is sexy and well tailored, and I too like how you combine traditional with digital, and make it FLOW. Not many people around here can do that. I think it's because the colors like each other. Well done!

Rina-ran In reply to WeirdAlbatross [2010-03-06 01:15:06 +0000 UTC]

For fair skin I always use the base of E000. I darken places with E00. And then for last bits of shading I choose between E21, V000, and RV10(called "Pale Health" but I think makes the characters look a lot more lively.) I use this tutorial for a basic understanding on when and how I want to overlay the colors: [link]

Oooh, man. Thank you thank you thank you! Two of these colors I do not have, so there must be part of the problem right there. Thank god for Pearl art supplies stores.

Very awesome! I love the face, pose and pants especially.

And yeah, you're also incredible with markerwork, damn. Makes me tempted to try to get back into it myself.

Rina-ran In reply to tlwelker [2010-03-06 00:55:29 +0000 UTC]

The pants are probably the only part that's not really cowgirl-like. (and the bunny ears maybe...)

I bet you can do a better job with markers than me. Give 'em another go.

love it
girl s very cute sticking her tongue out
would be nice if she was grounded better... she looks like she is floating in the air.
amazing work

Rina-ran In reply to Fleur668 [2010-03-06 00:51:52 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I wanted her tippy toe-ing (I dunno why), but then remembered that's not the most comfortable thing to do in cowboy boots with spurs on. Tried showing off her footing with some shading, but I was afraid of ruining the picture. No undo button with markers.

Thank you very much.
