Curse

The one side looks a bit too fake; maybe smooth out that 'crease' a bit, where the boob meets the chest up top? Usually they don't just stick out like that, there's more of a gentle curve.

Here's what I mean...kinda just sketched over the area.

Eastern Magik · Mar 17, 2011, 06:32 PM // 18:32

Thanks for the feedback Verene *hug*

I added a little curve there like you suggested. Fixed her left arm (working on right atm), fixed her neck, and scaled down her boobs a little, like Tommy suggested

And heres the result

So, what do you guys think?

Minami · Mar 17, 2011, 06:36 PM // 18:36

OMG Magik... I swear it's an awesome treat to visit your thread every time.
Your artwork is fabulous!
I wish my finished drawings looked like your sketches

InfestedHydralisk · Mar 17, 2011, 06:37 PM // 18:37

Looks promising.

OMG, I'm so late to the party! I love, love Kimi's pic, and the wallpaper version is amazing! I was expecting a simple crop, but that's basically an art piece itself :O

frostkisses · Mar 18, 2011, 08:03 AM // 08:03

Her boobs look much better now

Have I mentioned that I really love the pose?! I REALLY love the pose <3 lol
would it be easier just to draw something more like the blindfold? I've been too lazy to get it but it was on the list of "crap to buy". Not that I dont like what you've got so far. I'll leave it up to you

Ravenhawk · Mar 18, 2011, 12:33 PM // 12:33

wow this is looking great. I love the pose and the lighting. Can't wait to see it finished.

Eastern Magik · Mar 18, 2011, 03:34 PM // 15:34

@Minami thanks *hugs* btw, when i finish with this picture it will be your turn for commission

@IH ty love

@Thistle nah, you are not late, we aren't going anywhere

about the wallpaper, yeah those are just some custom brushes + 15 minutes of work XD thanks *hug*

@Frost great, im glad you like it. Below are updates, i already started to paint turban (since you mentioned that you hate her haircut, so... ), i'll draw blindfold if you don't like this one.

@Mina thanks ^^

And some more work:

As you can see, spirits are done, it was a rather quick speedpainting (half an hour each), they maybe need some small adjustments and some more details. Blended her skin, it needs more shading below her belly and on the legs. Dress also need a lot of shading. Second preview are just some test tattoos, still haven't decided on the exact design. And the 3rd one is a spirit close-up (im not too thrilled with the other one >_<)

WHAT!? Only 15 minutes? You are insane. x_x

Morag D · Mar 18, 2011, 06:47 PM // 18:47

looks wicked, I LOVE the spirits! :3

Minami · Mar 18, 2011, 09:04 PM // 21:04

@ Magik: I know, and I can't wait!! O_O

Thistle Xandra · Mar 19, 2011, 12:10 AM // 00:10

The right spirit looks so pretty! The left one is lovely, too, but it reminds me of the villian (ancient Noh mask) in an Inuyasha episode D:

frostkisses · Mar 19, 2011, 01:33 AM // 01:33

The spirits are very cool, but i think the one on the left is my fave :P im alawys against the grain lol
The headpiece looks fine

think my only ?'s right now are
1) is she going to be laying ON something or just kinda floating?
2) the fabric from the back of the skirt is a bit stiff, think maybe it should be falling at the back of her thigh/butt area..unless maybe it's resting on the outside of her left leg (our right)?

Eastern Magik · Mar 19, 2011, 01:08 PM // 13:08

@IH i am? DDDD: i'll take that as a compliment XD

@Morag ty, im glad you like it ^^

@Minami <3

@Thistle thanks, yeah it does look a little like noh mask (idk what Inuyasha is, but i'll bet is some sort of anime/manga thing :P )

@Frost

yes, shes going to be sitting on some sort of a carpet (maybe some pillows, still haven't decided, but she won't be floating thats for sure

), i'll probably add something in front of her hand, maybe a urn with turquoise smoke coming out of it (that would explain the spirits). Will fix her skirt, thanks for pointing that out

Hailfall · Mar 19, 2011, 02:20 PM // 14:20

Say.. uh Eastern.. i know your thread says closed but i would be interested in commissioning you anyway.. i can pm you for details as it involves a bit of a bribe

Eastern Magik · Mar 19, 2011, 06:55 PM // 18:55

@Hailfall hello and thank you for your interest, but unfortunately i won't change my mind, sorry. If i open commissions again, i know for sure there would be at least 15 other people who would order one too... Sorry, i hope you understand

And heres an update of that smexy rt ^^

As you can see, there are 4 previews (lol), thats because i have this HUGE dilemma :S I don't know where to put this urn. If i put it like on the first picture, it looks ok - compared to her leg, but its in front of her body, and i want tattoos to be visible. On 2nd her arm looks like its in the urn >_<. On 3rd, its looks the best, but urn is falling out of the picture :S. And on the 4th, it looks ok compared to her arm, but it still covering her body, and add the smoke coming out of the urn, it will cover her chest as well -_-. So, any comments on which preview is the best looking are more than welcome (i seriously need fresh pair of eyes for this one...)

Oh, and i fixed her skirt ^^.

Invertation · Mar 19, 2011, 07:26 PM // 19:26

I'll agree on the third. Sometimes, cropping a piece out can be more beneficial to a piece. I'd say it works like that here.

InfestedHydralisk · Mar 19, 2011, 08:19 PM // 20:19

If there is going to come smoke out of it then I would go for 2.

frostkisses · Mar 20, 2011, 12:31 AM // 00:31

-Personally I like the 3rd one most. I think its ok to have the urn out of the picture a bit, since the focus is mostly the rit anyway.

-However if you changed the position of the arm, out and away from the body just a lil bit it would help #2 with the whole "arm coming out of the urn" thing. Since you would be able to show a slight bit of her wrist/arm and the fingers coming out from behind it if that makes any sense? I dont know how easy or hard it would be to move it, since you'd probably have to drop the shoulder a bit.

-What are you planning to do with the smoke? ...maybe just some seeping out and "crawling" down the sides of the urn onto the floor?

Skirt looks better ^^

Thistle Xandra · Mar 20, 2011, 05:13 AM // 05:13

yeah, inuyasha is my fave anime, and since I've seen that episode so many times, I was instantly like 'the ancient noh mask!' <3

I like both 2 and 3 the best since the urn is more off to the side so we can focus on the rit

For 2, it doesn't really look like the arm is coming out from the urn since you do show the urn's inside lip. For 3, would it be too dificult to expand out the canvas a wee bit so the urn wouldn't be cropped (although it still looks great with it cropped)?
