Fedodika the Koala

[nigelpik]

This is a fantastic Sophitia piese. I especially like the pose, and the soft shading you use is very pleasant to look at.

Two things I have to say, though. For her face, you need way more extreme angle to see so much skin under her chin. At the angle you have you will see way less. This is because when head is raised, skin is stretching. If you used 3d model as a reference, it might not have reflected that. Check out this random photo I got from Google to see what I'm talking about. You also should rise her right cheekbone to emphasize the angle, and I would personally urge you to make her lips shorter to create a more balanced face.



I also think, you should drop her left arm down. When people rise one of their arms, the other arm tends to drop down. Right now, both shoulders are raised, so she looks very stiff. Again, it may be an artifact of using 3d model as a reference. Dropping her arm down will balance the pose and make it more dynamic in my opinion.

Hope you don't mind my little paintover.





Fantastic piece overall, definitely looking forward to seeing it finished.
