darktiste: Great input as always! I agree about the style crash regarding the tattoo, and went ahead and updated it with your paintover in mind. I do like the new pose you suggested, but it doesn't work as well compositionally with the leg down so ultimately I decided to leave it. Great point regarding the highlights on the breasts, tones them down a bit as per your input. Love what you suggested in regards to the storytelling aspect. I took your idea into consideration and decided that I will tackle a new image featuring a giant shortly, should be a lot of fun. Will begin work on that shortly after I finish my current images as I don't like to have too much on my plate regarding personal work to avoid burnout. Thanks again for your input and suggestions!
................
I updated the image a bit and made some changes, hopefully it works better now. I'm considering it finished now as I would like to move on to other painting, but if something major is off please feel free to let me know!
Next up is a painting I began last week. I actually started on this when my Internet was down so I just went ahead and did it without any feedback in mind, although I'm open to hearing any suggestions now that the image is pretty much finished. Below is the image followed by the steps for those interested.
And one more final update! Here is a sketch of 'Mileena' from the Mortal Kombat series. I did this one to see how much I improved from a similar illustration I completed over a decade ago (I'll post it once this new image is finalized and compare the two). I spent a lot of time with the expression as I wanted something really creepy here so hopefully I pulled that off. Any feedback before I begin work on some color tests would be greatly appreciated!
