Hmm hard to say what is wanted here and what not. I like the concept... The skirt seems a bit puffy but the mask is cool. I also like the contrast Red/BW

It's looking good.

You might consider finding a reference for the folds on the front of the skirt there

hey, I saw your thread and came over to give a quick critique. It looks like you have treated all of the edges the same way, which makes the figure look a little fuzzy. Consider using some harder brushes for details.

Check out Tristan Elwell's thread on Edges over at Conceptart org. Very useful stuff: [link]

Keep working it looks good

encouraging comment, ill keep working at it,, hopefully ill get a tablet for cmas which will help exponentially--check out my self portrait, rly think its an improvement over this one

The problem is reality never feels real and normality never feels normal. Unfortunately monotony always feels monotonous...

Hey there. I like what you've done with the background, it's an interesting abstract, and I still like the gas mask.

Here's what still jumps out at me:
- Without the wings the picture is weighted too much toward the bottom, making the overall pic unbalanced.
- Your girl still has no anatomy. Tightening up your anatomy will do a lot for this.
- Same for the dress - You've put a shadow in there, but it doesn't correspond to any light source you have. And dresses don't hang like that either.
- I see the light source you've added under the heart, but it isn't illuminating anything. You would be getting light on the underside of the heart, her chest, arms, and the bottom of the mask.
- As far as the rest of the lighting, there does appear to be a light source somewhere, but the sky is grey, the ground is grey, and her legs and arms are lit like they're in bright yellow sunlight.

I will make the suggestion that you really not worry about digital art right now, and go back to life drawing in pencil or other dry media. Draw lots of anatomy, draw lots of cloth, and draw things with lots of interesting lighting.
