Tried a different way of coloring, and took much less time than predicted! =) Please let me know what you think of the coloring style.

I could never really decide on a shirt design, if you have any other ideas feel free to share them!

And again, Cayden is an original character of mine in a story concept that I have been brainstorming about. =)

Looks really great! My main critique is just a lighting one, and it's actually pretty small. On the bent arm you have shading on both the forearm and the upper arm (as if the forearm was casting a shadow on the upper arm) but actually since the fire is going more to her left, it would be shining directly onto the upper arm, unobstructed by the forearm.

Also, actually, now that I look... The forearm wouldn't be casting a shadow on the chest like that either. As it looks right now, it implies that the light source is on the left (ours), since the shadow is being cast down/right onto the shirt. She'll still have the side shadow, but it should just go from like the breasts down, not follow the contour of the hand.


Anyway, really easy stuff to fix I guess. I like this! And for the record, the shirt design fits really well, don't change it! Haha.

Figuratively speaking, of course.

It's a nice atmospheric picture, but there are also a few things that could be better, I think.

First, the jeans (as I suppose) and the belt are very contasting with upper rest of picture, toned in darker colors. Jeans itself looks as they are made of plastic, shading is too bright and concentrated in small area, while it should be spreaded on bigger area.

Also shade under the breasts and their very curve looks a bit weird...like as they are struck by something just in area where the shade is. I don't know how to explain it exactly, sorry:-)

But after all, this picture really has his charm:-)
Good luck with your next additions.
ooooo

i really like this =]
