This piece was done for =Loreli-AngelofDeath of her character, Loreli :3. For more info on her character please visit her site!

This was a nice fun piece to do and I really enjoyed working on her design and colors. The hair and corset are my favorite parts ^_^d For this commission there wasn't supposed to be a real background but she didn't look right without something, especially with all the dark colors :/ So I threw in a real simple background so you could see the character a little better. But well, I like how it came out over all X3

I normally don't want critiques on pieces that will never get touched again, especially on commissioned pieces, but I figured I'd try the system out and see what everyone thinks regardless. I don't know when I'll have a new original piece up for you all to rip apart @_@; so have at!

I would begin by echoing Marshmallowtoy's opinion on the feathers and hair. Excellently done. But this is a consistent thread in your work. Your renderings have a nigh-sculptural quality that I really appreciate. As if a figurine could possibly already be in production.

I think the simple background was a really good thought and really supports the light effortless floating pose.

The one thing bugging me, and yes it is bugging me, is how she's holding the sword. To hold something as heavy as that ought to be (okay, maybe it's weapons-grade aluminum) you'd need some monster forearm muscles to get your hand to do what with only a pommel in its grip.

I realize that the line supports the line of the body, and yes it worked for me, until my un-suppressible object-empathy kicked in...and my fingers cramped in sympathy.

Don't get me wrong. I love your work, love the piece, and this is literally the ONLY thing bothering me.

Well done, and keep up the excellent work.

The outfit design is amazing, the feathers have the perfect blend of stylization and realism to fit the picture. The pose is also very good, making her look both graceful and strong. You put enough muscle to emphasize that she's a warrior without making her look overly muscular, and the hair design helps a somewhat common pose look much more dynamic. The sword is well done as well, the subtle shine and hilt design are well drawn and colored. The small items on her that make the character look unique without making it cluttered are well placed and the color scheme is very nice.
I didnt particularly like the wings, I think it because they were so simplistic whereas the rest of the picture seemed more detailed, but the way they are slightly framed outside of the frame is nicely done ^_^.
I love this picture. I think it has a beautiful design, and looks like a very well thought out and executed piece of art.

I learned not to fear the opinions and beliefs of others but to recognize them as honest, heartfelt, different, to be respected, and wrong.

Wow...this is a HUGE improvement from the earlier works. I'm very glad that you brought back Loreli again from retirement. I'm so happy to see this new version of her. Keep it coming!

Wow! I love the way she (and her outfit) pop right out at you. It almost looks 3D!

Wow! :jawdrop:

This is really beautiful! I really like how the red stands out against the black and pale skin without being too harsh. The pose is simplistic and solid, and I really love the way the hair completes the pose.

All in all, I give this totally :thumbsup: :thumbsup:.

This is really amazing. I love all the shinies and details, and I especially love her eyes and the shape of her face and neck. Very pretty :D

Any number that reduces to 1 when you take the sum of the square of its digits and continually reiterate until it yields 1 is a happy number, any number that doesn't isn't, a happy prime is a number that's both happy and prime, now type it in! -The Doctor
