I already posted this as part of a sketch dump, but I did more with the thing (aka making it dark, and adding lighting) [img]https://i.imgur.com/1aZKCQB.jpg[/img] I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on dis!

@genericmemes This looks so cool so far! I like the symmetry in the pose and how her hands circle the light source like that. But one thing I'd recommend is more contrast. Here's a quick paintover I made: [img]https://i.imgur.com/F5pjqj6.jpg[/img] Also: Contrast = interest. I put darker shadows on her face and made the hair lighter around it so that your eye would be drawn to her face. You generally want the most contrast around your focal point, with less contrast in the rest of the picture.

Don't listen to it
But I can say it's very nice and looks cool

Wow this is looking great! I absolutely love the mood you have conveyed with your picture.

I do agree with the paint-over that AboveClouds has done, as it shows darker areas around the body that would be obscured by the light. AboveClouds has also put some heavier shading on the boulders which I feel is less flat.

Overall it's a great practice piece of art! I love the detail on the face and hair, made even better with your shading and lighting.
