Description

THE WINGS. They're such an important part of the picture, yet I've done a truly craptacular job coloring them. You know what, I'm NOT going to attempt another picture like this before studying stuffed birds properly.

Other than that, I think this pic is okay... I mean, it's got other problems too, but none of them bothers me as much as the wings.

Oh, and this is my first picture done in Painter 9. :)

What's the problem? I think the wings look good. :) I mean, they may not look completely realistic, but do they really have to?
Nice work!

You have some really beautiful dark purples and blues in your background that contrast so well with the colours of the character in the centre. The painting on the wings looks a little unfinished in places against the hair which is superb. All in all this is really great, well done :)

You again seem to have a grand understanding of color relations keiii. While yes the wings don't look 'realistic' maybe they don't have to be. They look like they are energy based, a mental projection perhaps.

Thanks for the comments! I'm glad you people like this one :)

No, the wings don't have to be realistic, but I wish they'd at least be consistent with the rest of the picture in terms of style...

I reckon the wings are quite consistent with the rest of the picture, as this looks like a looser style anyway. I like the colours you used as well, and the composition looks good.

You have a brilliant and somewhat trademark way with colours. This is great

Wonderfull painting, keiiii. The looseness of the brushstrokes is very nice.
Her wings have a kind of weird perspective. And somehow my eyes get pulled towards the blueish lower right corner.
Still awesome colors and great action going on.

I think the wings are great - remind me of a phoenix (you know the Heroes of Might and Magic series?) and as well fit the background quite good, I'm just not sure about the joining between body and wings - maybe you could have done somne more here - but as you did the hair the same style as the wing it just feels connected so maybe that's not even necessary. Except to that... well, what shall i say? Great colours as always :)

Wings could be better (at least the left big one), but great work anyway!

I love her hair I don't like her wings. They should be more blured or not so clearly painted to seem more movement. It is a great painting and the olours are very good. +7

Nice...very Hildebrant in it's use of colours...the wings..yeah know what you mean, but not 'crapola'....stylized!...and they work any way.

style of the wings dont fits...triangular shape with sharp edges while everything else is organic/round

Wow, I couldn't place my finger on exactly what was bothering me so much about the wings (or else I would've fixed it)... I never thought of what Elite uncle-xeN said, but it looks like he nailed it down. (I think  ojodekuervo brought up a similar point, but just worded it differently)

This is why I love GFXartist. Thank you for all the C&C, everyone

That's really great concept, I love the idea and the composition! Dun feel so bad about the wings, making the way they are gives more fantatisc effect to this painting! I like the lightning on the girl, but I think the light on the legs should be as brighter as on the rest of the body. Away from it, I find no more crits, thumbs up!

D'you know what Kei? The wings are what they are - wings :p They're YOUR wings 'n they fit the picture and mood, and link in nicely with the rest of the pic too.... I rather like them actually.

Agree with Shyam, great palette. You've set a smart colour system painting the background in a negative palette, keeping the rich golds and umbers in the foreground.

Great! +10

Yeah the wings are cool and the colors are brilliant but the 2nd smaller wings kind of distract from your figure. I just wish I had this much talent under the fingernail of my pinky. Good work.

for the the fact that the shape of the wings are sharp and the rest is soft makes a very good contrast. i don't think it's wrong at all, for me it amplifies the other contrasts which are alredy there (for example the very strong color-contrast) etc.
