Very cool! I love the lighting from the chopper and the guard towers. Very nice touch.

Hmm, her arm look a bit too straight on the rendered version so far. Though I know you're still working on it just thought I'd point it out anyhow. ^^

No problem, always happy to help. If you need any other tips, feel free to ask.

Wow, I like how you're using more and more backgrounds in your drawings.

Kimi is looking great so far, I really can't find anything to comment on it besides saying "waaaaah, so pretty!". Her pose is really dynamic, and I'm liking the lighting and the background.
Can't wait to see more progress!

This is so different to anything I have seen from you before I can't wait to see how it turns out. Its looking very exciting so far.

@Mina yeah, i know, i don't plan to use that layer, its just there to help me with values, but thanks for pointing it out

@Charlie kk, i will

*hug*

@Perynne thanks :3

@Aero lol, i can't wait to see it too XD i have no idea how it will turn out, i never did any Sci-Fi art before

hopefully i won't mess something up

frostkisses · Mar 11, 2011, 05:57 AM // 05:57

That looks...
AWESOME!!!! *hugs*
cant wait to see the finished version! *dances*

Perynne · Mar 11, 2011, 03:12 PM // 15:12

I really, really like how you post progress screenshots. It's wonderful seeing how your drawing evolves over time, and how you try out different things which don't necessary make it into the final drawing.

Awesome lighting, btw!

@US ty ty ty :3

@Frost thanks, btw, when i finish with IHs commission, your rt will be next ;P

@Perynne thank you

yeah, i spend way too much time painting things that eventually don't even finish in the artwork, but i think thats just how process of learning goes

in this particular painting i decided to leave out one of the spaceships, because closer one was stealing way too much attention from Kimi.

And thankfully i got news that my new 2TB hard drive is waiting for me at the store, so i will be able to work on this picture during the weekend ^^

And heres a little update, left one is 12% of the real size (yes, the original size is 8000x8900 300dpi

) and the second is a 33% close up of the hair. Her face is still in the Kingdom of unfinished faces, but her haircut is almost done ^^ and since you can't really see how her hair is messy from the 12% piccie, hence the 33% one ^^

Death By An Arrow · Mar 11, 2011, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Magik this may be your most impressive piece (in my opinion, as that can certainly be because its a new subject matter

)

Only one question: Kimi has hair up at the back, in the frill like thing, which implies to me that her hair us up. But her hair is also flowing down her back..? I may be looking at it wrong but it seems wierd to have both the hair up and down at the same time... unless thats what IH wanted o.o

Tommy's · Mar 11, 2011, 07:25 PM // 19:25

I just wowed. Great lighting!

frostkisses · Mar 12, 2011, 03:01 AM // 03:01

WOOT!
I've been gone so much lately I was worried I would miss my turn

This really is one of the coolest pics you've done so far. I really like her face honestly, dont think I would change it.
The colors are great

Minami · Mar 12, 2011, 04:10 AM // 04:10

@Magik: O_O Hot damn!
That is one mindblowing picture! I love the lighting especially. Incredibly dynamic picture!

Moonstalker · Mar 12, 2011, 06:51 AM // 06:51

Eeesshh. Crazy art skills!

When might your commissions be open again? I'd love to have something done by you!

Eastern Magik · Mar 12, 2011, 01:29 PM // 13:29

@DBAA ty

her haircut supposed to be like this

, hmm when i look at it a little bit, it could use some fixing

thanks for pointing that out ^^

@Tommy thank you

@Frost hehe, don't worry, you are still on the list

thanks *hug*

@Minami thank you ^^

@Moonstalker thanks. And im sorry, but i won't be reopening my commission slots.

Death By An Arrow · Mar 12, 2011, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Being able to see it from the side suddenly makes it all make more sense. :P

Now that I can see what you're doing I think it looks really quite good; dont know what you're about to change :x

Eastern Magik · Mar 12, 2011, 03:33 PM // 15:33

redefined it a little bit, changed color and cut the right part a little.

IH chose the right one, and this will be the final color for her hair:

Eastern Magik · Mar 13, 2011, 05:49 PM // 17:49

slowly getting there:
