Description

Redid the coloring, and boy howdy it looks so much better. (Case in point: The goggles.)

Shaded this time using my usual method- now that I actually have a consistent way of coloring that I'm comfortable with.

It's hard to say if this method is really better than the shading + multiply method, because I really TRIED harder on this one. The other one might've looked better if I had put in more effort.

IDK At any rate, this one looks cooler, so whatever.

This one's a little darker than the others in this series, but it suits the picture, since Kira at this point was dark, quiet, and honestly kind of bland.

This phase was all about death, violence, and sex. The preteen years will do that to you. You gotta love being 12. Kira was kind of a scandalous whore in this phase compared to the others, and more than anything a frigid bitch. Even I hated her. She was overpowered, miserable, dead at some points, and revived at others. (Sue) All the main characters loved her. (Sue) She would occasionally wear things that I would. You see those sandals? I had a pair just like that at that age. (Sue) She even crossed over into some of my other stories, since, at the time, they were all tied together.

Funny thing is, I don't ever remember purposely developing her like that. I don't think I've ever had a character get away from me as much as this one did. She was really out of control. But I didn't care about character development! I WANTED ANGST. :dummy:

Really, this is probably my least favorite phase in Kira's history, but at the same time it's bittersweet, because this was the time when my fandom for the Sonic series was at its highest.

:shrug: I'm just glad this phase is over!

Its gunna be hard to critique you because you are one of my inspiration artists.... but i will try

On this pic i like the overall accurate proportions in body, everything is pretty equal or balanced.
The detail in the pic is nice, there is accurate color and shading based on where the light source is coming from, the only thing is that the stomach area seems to be a bit more darker than it should be, maybe make it lighter.
I look at everything as an outline or guideline, so to see how your style is i did a guideline of the pic (this also helps me see the accuracy in proportion [link]

The things I would only change is that the head seems a bit big, you may shorten the area from the top of the eyes to the top of the head by a bit. And personally from my style.. I think the hands and arms could not be as "meaty" as they are, I like a more skinnier style, but that is just my style. If you like it more realistic then stick to that.

Overall i would say it is good, but never give up practicing, always try to fix what you may see is wrong.
The artist yourself always sees the imperfections that the audience may not see/find.
