Ooooooh, I like I like! =D Excellent job on anatomy and pose. Great job with the whole atmosphere of the pic, as well. The clothes look great, and that tail is nigh sexy! This almost looks professional, man. ;)

My only gripe is her hair. The right side seems to be angled slightly out of plumb; it looks to be angled in toward meeting the rest of her hair, but it's only just barely. The whole effect of the hair makes it look slightly like one big mass of fuzzy. It might help to add a few flyaway strands to add variety and interest.

BUT! That's just my humble opinion. Overall, this is excellent, mate!

thank you very much. maybe there were stray strands of hair, but they must have been lost int he crappy image quality... it was coloured, though, I just used pencils in various hardness variants. :)

me, professional? aww...

Hee. ;)

ooh!! thats so koool!!! your art reminids me a bit of my friend noras art. shes awesome!! anyways. don't stop amazing me!! and everyone else!!! and poim i thought she was twirling slightly.. thats why i thought her hair was like thaat .. ah well.

i woulden't really know lol

thank you very much. :) you wouldn't happen to have a link to your friend's art? you make me curious.

shes not on here. on deviant art though.. see shes traditional and she often puts good detail into her work like that and uses good poses and the such!! she amazes me and so do you!! anyways i will see if i can find her da( which i can i'll just be a moment lol )

well, using good reference photos enables someone to put that detail into the drawing. to be honest, without it I wouldn't have had a good idea where to put all these little folds and shadings. in times using reference rules royally. :)

thats awesome!! maybe she uses references. but when i see her do it.. she just does it.. she does have how you say a photographic memory though. kind of like me.
but she puts hers to very good use!! lol.
i'm glad you use references!! especially since your art comes out this well!!

ooh, photographic memory? look at a scene or picture and you can use it for reference for the rest of your life! XD
unfortunately I have references not for every one of my pictures abvailable, so many stuff gets created from scratch. I have neither the time nor the opportunity to dig through the internet for such all day.

weather you us it or not i'm sure your art always comes out as well.
at least you use backgrounds.. mine are crap ahhaha lol oh well id defines more what i'm drawing i guess.. but they're still crap lolbut thats just me being a critic to myself!! but never eVER think that your own worst critic.. ayeyaaa someone crit'd me before and kinda made me cry but i think it's because they had a personal grudge on me anyways!! like i said. ref's or not!! your art is wonderful!! and when exams are done. i would love to draw you a picture or do a trade or anything. if you havethe time. i should probobaly read your commission status first though.. lol bee riiight baacckk lol

a trade sounds like a plan!

as for critics, I make it a point to make constructive, useful critic in a serious, nice tone, so the receiving end will know I still like the critiqued piece and I look closer because of it.
of course, sometimes a critique would be pointless because it wouldn't matter, or there is nothing to critic anyway.

maybe the one you mentioned didn't know how to give critics right, or had a bad day?
or maybe was just an asshole. I am one myself sometimes, granted. ^^'

hahha lol yeah no your right and i try to do the same thing too. in a very nice tone because otherwise. you'v got a very upset artist on the other side ahahha your wonderful!! i almost can't wait for our trade! leets pm and talk about somethings we could do if you like

of course, as soon as you have time for it. :)

I absolutely love the way you did the clothes, and the whole picture itself too ^^
Yeah, sometimes I wish I could fly too ^^

thank you. =^^=
yeah, who wouldn't? ^_^

this is beautifully done. i love it when i fly in dreams. then i'm the happiest.
amazing really.

thank you very much.. it was fun doing, and adding the little bird was even more fun. XD

the birdie adds a very nice touch.

wow O.O
das ist richtig gut! die Klamotten, die Falten! Genial! ich wünschte ich würde das so hinkriegen D:

dankedanke. dazu brauchst du nur ein gutes referenzphoto, das am besten in der passenden größe ausgedruckt ist. beim zeichnen kannst du dich dann direkt dran orientieren. :)

ah, ok, danke, ich werds bei gelegenheit mal ausprobieren =)

Grand, man.

thank you very much. :)

*Nods.*

really cool!

dankefein. :)

I can't lie. I saw this and started wallowing in nostalgia. Everyone's had this moment at one time in their life and I'm no different. ^ ^;

However, I do like how it's been accomplished here. The jeans happen to look like very realistic Levis due to how you illustrated the folds and creases. [And how Levis have their pockets off to the side where the side pocket and back pocket look like the same thing.] It's the same with the clothing as it looks like a shirt that everyone can wear in a day to day situation. [As opposed to the RPG like outfits people are giving their characters as if they're reeeeeally walk out the house with that stuff on. I mean, honestly now.]

Now, seriously speaking...I like how all this was done in a single colored pencil /medium here. It's like a monochrome piece, but rather than black and white, I believe everything is.. more along the lines of red. [But I'm taking that to be the resolution of my monitor. So if I'm wrong here, fair warning.] Because of that, you can see how realistic everything is due to the lack of opposing colors. Less is more after all. It's much like an old black and white photo to that degree.

Long and short is that this came out a very nice.. if nostalgic picture that forces me to think about way back when.

Shame on you. xP

nostalgia? XD now that's a new one. good to hear that I made you think a little deeper than usual. :)

I have no idea if it was a Levi's, but you may be right. the ref photo was a little bit out of focus.
RPG outfits? I have met people who are very close to wearing something like that all day, but I guess it depends on how you make a living.
besides, if I want to create a casual scenery a chainmail bikini does not really fit, now does it? ^^

as for the reddish hue, if you scan in pencil in colour you receive a hue of dark brown. this might be the reason for your perception; finished pencils like this look curiously lifeless to me in gray scales.

if shame is on me, beer's on you. XD
