Comment on communion by ~theincredibleandy

Wow, I really love her expression! I like grins like that. The skin is done seriously well and so is the cloth. Beautiful. But maybe some brighter blues? That'd make it really stand out.

I'm sorry about the day, it's just the way the medication makes her...

Nice!

Keep your mind alive

congrats very nice i agree with calimax tho the only thing to make it better would be to brighten the cloth colors or change the background and lessen the shadows to go with it but other than that its perfect you did a great job with the cloth i like it

You can hit your mark, you can fly high, you can reach your goals!-... but you can also fall flat on your face. ~fullmetal-alchemists FMA!

umm...I like it .

I really like her expression and the general way you drew her face. Very few people can draw a face at that angle and keep it from looking broken and distorted. Kudos to you for that accomplishment
I also like the way you drew her neck, and the fabric of her dress. The shading on it is very nice.
In comparison to the detail put into the woman though, the background is so plain. The pet's simplicity makes sense, since it seems to be basically a blob of light, but the bg just looks kind of blah.
Even if you didnt do a full scale detailed image of the inside of a room or in a forest or something, just having a little bit of something in there than just the reddish black that you have right now would look better....Or maybe even just making the background dark blue or black. The red/brown shade that you have just doesn't go with the image I think...Blue would suit the whole thing much more.
But yeah, still a great pic. I love the smile most of all. Lots of character in it. ^_^

What if Optimus Prime had seen a smart car instead of a semi?

Makes you think. Doesn't it?

wow Rikona, I appreciate the detailed responses you give. I agree, the background is painfully empty. When I first did this I was thinking of it as website decoration, so it had a graphic background that only made sense as part of my website (www.theincredibleandy.com). I also was trying to make some good spot illustrations to prove to clients that I could do them, so I didn't let myself do something with the background (even though I should have). As for the color, sometimes I have ideas that work out nicely in my head but definitely look bad when I try to bring them out. This is one of those occasions.

Thanks again for the good critting. It's helpful, appreciated, and it lets me know people find my stuff worth improving.
