Art Peacock Lady and Friends

[Sara]

[color=#b0000b][size=1]This is a doodle I've been playing with. The face there isn't the final version, and I know the leg is a little wonky right now.

Anyway, I've stared at it by myself long enough, and I'd like some other people's thoughts on it.

[SIZE=1]That, Sara, is simply wonderful. You have such a wonderful style and this design is simple yet complicated in the subtle details, like the peacock's tail.

The style really reminds me of the Herculese Disney show that I used to watch as a kid. I loved that style. =D

I have but one criticism: The dark blue one-pixel line on her right calf doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the picture. I think it's because the other lines are so thick and smooth, this one stands out a little.

This would look fantastic as a CD cover or a design on a bag.[/SIZE]

There were a lot more lines like that earlier, but I deleted them--that one must snuck in on a different layer.

And yeah, a lot of my sketches lately have had that jaunty look so well used in the Hercules movie/series. It's a lot of fun to draw. =]

The peacock is my favorite part of this.[/size][/color]

Too adorable. :P

I love the shoes, and unless you think you can do something even better, the face as well. I'm not so sure about her hips, though, but perhaps I'll like them more once you get that leg situated.

And, well, I don't know what you should do about the back fold of the dress, but those hatch lines just aren't quite working. I'd tell you to add a fifth color, but you're quite obviously submitting this to Threadless. XD You could eliminate a color by taking out the white, which is barely visible on her skin anyway (and if you don't do that, I'd at least take the highlight off of her peacock-holding hand).

[Retribution]

[size=1]A very interesting style to say the least. I was rather puzzled when I first saw this, mostly by all the acute angles this thing has. The one big change I'd make is to make the hips more shapely. Considering those are one of the defining characteristics of womanhood, and how you made the other characteristic (*ahem*) curved, I'm not sure why you made the hips so square.

The only other change I'd recommend would be defining her hands more to include individual fingers. While it is probably intentional and part of this style, I just prefer to see them all separate instead of a rectangular shape.

A job well done, though.[/size]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]I think everyone else has pretty much already mentioned everything I noticed, like rounding out her hips and boobs a little, to the one pixel line on her leg that looks out of place. Her right arm and hand do seem to be at an odd angle to me as if they were reversed? Perhaps giving her fingers like Retribution suggested would help with that? Anyway, over all, that?s one amazing picture. The choice of colors and over all effect is great. I especially love her hair and the tail of the peacock. [/COLOR]
