Give me some C&C if you want. I'm going to color this soon but it will take a while because its rather large (full resolution is 1200x1800) the character is named ayumi and I created her a while back in high school.

EDIT: I edited the lineart to give it a bit of depth with line width variation and fixed a few mistakes.

EDIT: colored version is up now

In case anyone is interested, here is the initial sketch. Sorry about double posting ^_^;

To return the compliment.... nice work. I particularly like the initial sketch. It has a lot of character, and it is more individual to you. Maybe worth developing that. I know we all suffer from the tendancy to try to make things look neat and acceptable, rather than messily exploring our own individuality. That's risky - especially when others are going to see it. Yes?

I love the girl's outfit...so sexy!

Lewis: Thank you ^__^ I too enjoy the initial sketch. I've already explored my individuality quite a bit. I have shown some of those more explorative works on these boards in the past and I don't find it all too risky =D right now I'm trying to create a very polished image though, and so, the sketchy style takes a backseat while i create this peice.

kelly: thanks ^__^

I very much like the style, color, and line quality. I really like the line quality.

However, her proportions are kind of off. Her breasts are much too high, even for small ones. I think if you moved them down about half to three quarter's thier current height they would be more accurately placed.

Overall great job!

marsfyre, you surprize me on a daily basis...

yaki: sorry, you're wrong, i looked at a reference picture and drew my sketch off of it, I didn't change the positioning of the chest area. Mind you I almost agree, but I used a reference picture to try and get away from drawing the same body type over and over and that is where the breasts were.

animosity: thanks I think =D

yakimushi

I stand that they're too high. The curve of the breast does not start at the collarbone.

A tutorial I've found useful: http://www.sequentialtart.com/archiv.../bb_0702.shtml

marsfyre

ok i see what happened now, I actually jsut failed to communicate how far shes actually supposed to be leaning back

todd

Very cool! I really love the style of the paint job.

ARTelevision

excellent as usual, marsfyre.
it's very revealing and illuminating to see the work forming the underlying structure for your graphic and color effects.
thanks much!
