Welcome to Gaia! ::

I really like this! The only thing I have a problem with is that his nipples are so light color that it immediately draws your eyes to them, at first glance I thought his nipples were his eyes and then his torso was his head. It took me a while to actually look at the image and realize what I was actually seeing. Perhaps just make them a shade darker from the red in his body to stop this from happening.

Overall though, I really like it and if it was a t-shirt I would probably buy it.

although it is in the center, its a very good composition.
i love your choice of colours.
i don't really feel like it has to be textured at all,
i love that it is smooth.
it makes me smile : )

hmmm... I like the idea of outlining and will have to try that out... once I reinstall Adobe CS4 -_-
(just upgraded to Win 7)

I've started darkening the nipples, but am finding hard to get the right tone grrr. I definitely agree with them being to bright though now that you've pointed it out Starshine.

Thankyou all for the comments. I'll work on it a bit when I get my computer fixed up, and post the next WIP then.

The wings aren't touched at all, other than a layer of shading and some flame lighting. I need to add tears to the interior which I have on my sketch but didn't get around to adding to the picture yet, and the panties will most definitely have something done to them, probably comical because I can.

CS5 comes out soon... that should be fun fun fun.
