I know what else is huge but that doesn't matter.

Wow, saw this on the front page by accident. xD

I like the left one best. I think the contrast makes the figure pop better. Still the right one feels cleaner.

thanks! gonna remember that

Without she blends in much more with the colours of the body and surroundings, which ya do very well C: The right makes her stand out more, though I think the left is more grand in colour style

i wasnt shure about the right one either, it still looks good

but i think i could do a better left one

Awesome work my friend!

It's distracting on the left, and I can't focus on the body. What you need to do is fade that inward (10 - 20 pixels), and still have a slight fade on the outside as well (3-4 pixels). Also tint it to the color undergoing specular reflection and perhaps even merge it to a sheen. Of course we're talking about reflection on a complex surface (fur strands) so that will fade off slowly because you'll still have a couple hairs nearer the viewer that might catch some light (like cirrus clouds at dusk).

Be sure to use this opportunity to fade it in and out to convey the radius of the body part, and perhaps with a touch of bloom.

thanks alot ! i am totally gonna use that next time

Left one looks backlit, as if you had a hair light or something. Something that can have excellent effects in cinema, as it helps filter out subject from background. Classic photographic technique transferred to painting. I like it, but it is a look that does look very "studio", if you know what I mean. The right one feels more "real", as it were. My two cents.

haha what is studio, but i got the cinema one x) thanks buddy

uhm, both are very interesting concepts. Personally, i prefer the right. The sketchy lines do make her stand out a little. Though, I do like the shading on the left since its more fluid and seems more refined. The highlights are definitely a pleasant touch, but a little too much. I would try fading it in a little.
Why not try and put these together in one?
Other than that.. fantastic as always. You've come a long way, and improving amazingly well ;)

true i also like both alot, and maybe u are right to use more "average" color on the left one
the right one is still kinda special to me, i like that simple convenient style

thanks!

Its difficult to pick, i like both almost equally, each one has its ups, each one has its downs. Both styles are nicely put in the end. each one has its defining features that makes it appealing. :)

haha thanks man ^^ still i must choose one next time, lets ask some gipsy queen

Gonna go with the right one. Really like the look sketch lines add to the pic.

thanks alot for ur opinion crooky! it s like voting new president

OMG you are posting!!! Personally, I like the one on the right side.

thanks rj !also ur opnion is important ! every single vote is

I think you're onto the beginning of something good on the left, but it needs some refining.

Foxer421 gives excellent advice.

i will remember thanks !

I haven't been on here in a while either so don't worry.

I like both of them but I think the left one would pop out more if you changed the color of the background slightly. The way it is, everything seems like it's blending together. Maybe make the background a little lighter or possibly a different hue?

The right one looks fine because the outline makes distinguishes her from the background.

All in all your doing great. And listen to Foxer421, he knows what he's talking about.


Nice to see your work again!

i ll keep that in mind buddy ! good to see u here again!

well I think that the style on the left side is better than the one on the right side. It looks ways more natural and the character you are drawing melts more into the environment as on the right one where everything is limited with those ugly lines

könnte sein, doch brauch ich auf der linken seite noch etwas übung

ja aber das wird schon noch

I prefer the better pronounced shading on the left, but the white is very distracting.

thanksu!

Hmmmm, I'd go with the right image. But that's my preference.
