Succubus

by isotope235 Digital Artist

Well here it is. A demon that, eh, ''sleeps'' with men and collect their stuff. It then enters a chrysalis and emerges as an incubus, but that's a story for another picture, which you can probably expect soon. The head on it's shoulders is not a real head, it's a decoy, the real ''face'' is on its torso - the ''boobs'' are the eyes, and the crack on it's chest is a mouth.

Ugh, this is the first time I tried this coloring style, and I'm not really satisfied with the result :S Anyone have any suggestions how to make it less ''flat''? What kind of brushes to use or something?

I really really like this, I'd commission you in this style.

Heh, thanks! Unfortunately I don't do commissions yet, but I guess we might trade or something cause I have a block atm anyway. But don't expect much tho cause 1. I'm still a newb, 2. I don't know if I'll have time to do it in the next month or so :P

Sure. I'd love to do a trade. Give me a note when you're up for it :3

been staring at this for a bit trying to come up with something constructive to say rather than just "HOLY CRAP THAT IS FUCKING COOL"

so how's this: you might want to try picking out some of the ridgy spiraly details with a fine brush and a highlight-ish colour. even a matte surface will have some distinct highlights especially around the light source, though they won't be as hard and glossy as a slick surface might have

might also try using the wings as a secondary lighting source for dramatic impact, i dunno :3

hopefully that helps a little, i am really terrible at explaining

Thank you, your advice is appreciated :D.
I actually did start highlighting the ridges, but it wasn't really turning out as I expected, so I figured I'd better stop before I screw it out. I'll use your advice on the next pic

It doesn't look too "flat" to me. You might have used some brighter highlights, though.

Well, the thing is, I'm not sure what you're trying to go for. But in my eyes, this piece is very solid, abstract, and well-designed. If anything it still looks unfinished, but that's not a critique -- the end product looks more raw and expressive to me that way.

Seriously, very impressive design.

A couple of people kind of touched on it, but you need more range in your values. I have the exact same problem. I tend to not go dark enough with my shadows or bright enough with my highlights, and it gives my pictures a flattened, kinda washed out look to them. I'm not the best at critique though, so there's probably some points I'm missing.

I love the design though.
