Welcome to Gaia! ::

I like it a lot, very cool. I love all the details in her wings and clothes. I think her arms might be a bit short but that isn't a big deal, and her feet look a little small but once again not that big a deal. My biggest complaint is the lack of detail in her face. From seeing what else you have drawn on her body I know you could do more. Her lack of features detract from the piece a bit, but not enough to make me dislike it. Um, I love the changes in values in the wings and hair, that is really cool

and is that your signature in the bottom left corner? I like XD

yeah, making those parts of the body look right is difficult. and yeah, it does look like a heart XD and, yet not... it is very cool

oh, and what did you use to make it? your fairy i mean

oh, ok. that is cool

aw, it is cute XD what did you use for the blush? not sure what programs you have but an airbrush sort of tool might look a bit better for that, also I like how you showed shadowing, by like, clearly indicating where the source of light was coming from, but, I don't like how it went from tan to what appears to be pure white... it kinda looks like clown make up :/ and finally, I would have drawn her with shoes, but that is just me, and not a big deal. can't remember if I have already asked but what program did you use?

lol, I have the demo for CS4... grr, I really need to buy that before it runs out. Ok, that makes sense, (about the shoes) it is just a personal preference. The hair looks good, but it may be a bit too much highlighted... not sure what to do on that, cause I do like the highlighting, that is cool. You could try adding some lines on the left side of the hair, or trying some hatching on the highlighting. See which works best (and always remember to save many different copies XD lol)

oh, maybe try and take opacity down for those highlights? you did use layers right stare

I like it. It is very cute. I think the background may be too dark though. I see you added snow and I am assuming you did that cause you felt the background needed something? (if that is the case then your subconcious was trying to tell you the background is too dark... if not, then try not to think I am too crazy). I like that you added texture to the skirt, but it seem a little odd... like... it looks weird for some reason. The pose is all good, I am not sure how I feel about the wings on her back, they seem too small and they also seem fine... it is hard for me to decide... :/ The pose you have is good, it kinda made me chuckle when I saw that her hands/arms were behind her body. I remember you having trouble getting the length right last time, and also in renaissance times (and still today) a lot of artists have their subjects fold their hands or put them into fists cause hands are so hard to draw well. But, besides those knitpicking details I like it. Oh, and the "Z"s above that little things head could be better defined, like a brighter color perhaps? just a tad brighter... and I am not sure how good that would be, but I would like to see how that would look.
