Crap, guys, the size of this thing here doesn't even begin to explain my issues with it. I had to scan it in SIX PARTS, because both horizontally and vertically my scanner cut off an inch. (It's like 13x17 in in real life.)

It was scary T ^T I had to hope Sasha!laptop wouldn't explode while spending ten minutes (I kid you not) to save this thing. At 600 dpi. (OVER NINE THOUSANDDDD pixels in both ways.)
And I don't think I will get so lucky again after I color it, either.

However!
It is Maya. Maya is Our's. I love Maya. He is excellent. I am not sure who/what he is running from, but I assume he tried to kick the wrong person in the face or something. I just wanted to do something actiony and cool, ok? Ok. heart
So if'n you see something that would make this more excellent and I can fix before coloring it oop with some markers, that would be totally awesome to know. ;D Other general feedback that I can keep in mind for next time is great, too!

I'll post up a slightly larger version of this in the Color Me thread once I actually color it myself, just for fun, huhuhu
This thing fills me with glee because it's the first thing I have really, really gotten into since about December. AND IT IS SO MUCH FUN. I missed you, brush inking!

First off, let me just say that this is a really spectacular picture! I can tell from this that backgrounds are where you really shine because this is a fabulous scene. I really like how Maya is leaning forward.

As far as crits go, there is only one thing that really bothers me. It has to do with the placement of the feet in combination with the perspective. I don't think there would be anything wrong with them if you weren't exaggerating perspective, but because you are I think that the space between where the front foot is and the back foot looks too small for that much perspective and that large of a jump with the legs. I don't know, maybe it's just me, you can probably get away with it. Making the back foot a teeny bit bigger might make it look for natural though...

But kudos really for trying such a hard thing with perspective, everything really looks great. And... yeah, you're totally my idol now, you're good.

Lovely!

Right now, the background is distracting me from the character, but I'm sure this will be cleared up once you color it.

Raddishh: Hmm, I see!
Yeah, there was something bugging me about the feet. I think it might be that, and the fact that the back foot is kinda...facing an odd direction. |D

But hey, thanks! heart It is appreciateddd. You are too kind :'D

Sei: -rollroll- Thankyou heart
Yeah, I hope so |D Apparently I didn't push Maya's inks dark enough!

Classical- Oh. Yeah. It could be that too.
You're going to post the finished version, right?
Because I will really want to see it. heart

Raddishh: Oh yeah, of course!
The bottom or top might be cut off, because I am really not scanning in six parts in color. D: Sasha will fryyyyy.
