Description
I don't know why I didn't upload this before. It's probably one of the better things that I've done in the last little while.It's just Lykaly sitting with her command interface, which is aesthetically disguised as a brazier. Everything in Nexistence is usually disguised to fit in with the surroundings to a certain extent. In this case, it's all terribly trite Pre-Raphaelite-influenced greek myth.

G'damn, the description made this 100% more awesome. And I mean, this was Holyshit mindblowing from a start.
Never come across 'brazier' interfaces--suppose this is one hell of a sci fi setting you've got here.
As for picture itself--all of it, it's amazing. Can't keep my eyes off her robe's folds for whatever reason...probably because I can't do them for shit and this looks so realistic and pretty <3

This sci-fi setting is really just a front for doing cool and crazy 'everything in your wildest dreams' sort of story. One day I'll get back to it... Nexistence has been a fun world-building and visual communication challenge for me.
Thanks so much for the comment. I really felt satisfied working on this one in a way that I have had a hard time getting back to, since.

No problem! Looking forward to when you upload more original content, be it sci fi or something entirely different!

Excellent lighting and delicious colors. Though, I think my favorite part has to be those adorable monster feets. X>

The lighting is so gorgeous! I also like how you drew her legs and the folds in her dress.

I agree, I was having problems with floating chair/feet from the very start. Next time I'll try to slap things in with proper perspective and a touch more control with lighting!

I despise drawing chairs for some reason, so I feel your pain. XD;

I liked drawing the chair itself! XD I just don't have perspective and setting things up in space right yet!

Bravo again on the drapery, lighting and skin tones. Her face is a bit off (the nose could project forward a micron or so)but I still agree that this is some of your better work. I also like the stuff you've been doing with your other concept art speedpaints, your colors have improved by miles since last year.

XD I'm not sure how to make her nose pop more, maybe tone down the lines and replace 'em with some brighter light?
Thanks Eran, that means a lot! ^_^

I mean pop in the literal, physical sense: her nose is flat against her face at the moment. Just grab a photo reference of yourself at the correct angle, and you'll see what I mean.

Ahhh, yeah, I think I see what you're saying. Need to retweak it at the drawing level, not just the colouring. Next time I'll do that AHEAD of time. XD

Yeah, your coloring is fine. Just plain old anatomy.
