Very similar to Aribeth's pose from NWN1, did you use that as a reference?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't use any specific reference for Jaina (apart from getting the armour/costume details from the WoW model), I've always liked that sort of 'upshot' pose and keep playing with it in different ways (my Morrigan pic uses the same pose but in a more extreme angle).

sick talent. After seeing 'An invitation for a beating' I'm kind of curious as to what the original pencil drawing looked like.

Wicked work. the lineart, the crisp shading and the unique style are all so great to look at.
Only critique is maybe should have went with traditional background to match the foreground, the pencil work looks too good for the PS gradient

Others have mentioned it, so I'll just say it once then move on: Jaina has grandma hands, and the effect is pretty jarring.
Moving on...
There is a considerable amount to like about this pic, and as a huge Jaina fan, I can definitely say that you've captured the character's essence quite well. The use of colour is pretty fantastic, with an excellent contrast between the purple, white and gold, gives her a noble, almost regal appearance. Her pose and expression are also very good. Aside from the grandma hands, the only other thing I could suggest improving for next time would be the lack of background, but the pic doesn't really suffer due to its lack. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the comments, great to get some feedback on my art, especially when it's as constructive as this!
The fingers are suffering from some serious over-detailing, something I've now learnt
Looking at Jaina's NPC in-game I thought I'd make more of a contrast of the purple and gold detailing, which has worked really well and I'm glad it's been well recieved.
I did think about doing an Icecrown Citadel background but I was wary of the background taking the focus away from her, so I did an abstracted 'icy' background instead. I'm working on some more WoW art with more intricate backgrounds so I'll see how that works out. Thanks for the comments on the colouring, it was a learning curve to digitally paint what is a pencil drawing but it certainly has come out well.

Hey, no problem, dude. I much as I do like the good old-fashioned ego stroke review, constructive criticism is also very useful, and I'm glad to hear that I had something helpful to say. Keep up the awesome work! (particularly with the colouring, it's good to hear that it's working so well for you!)

I like it!
It's hard to find fan art of Lady Proudmoore, and I believe u catch her charisma in this draw.
I believe the only thing that u can fix a lil are the hands... remember the hands of young womans are more delicate, and with less lines...
But the rest is perfect

Glad you like her
The hands do need more work, I went a little overboard with the detail in her hands in retrospect but thanks for the pointers, it all helps in producing better art!

You have some lovely pencil work in your gallery! I used to do only b&w work myself and it was so hard for me to learn how to colour.

I'm using what I know about colour from my marker rendering days, and as you said, it can be a struggle coming from b&w work but I'm learning some new tricks in Photoshop which are helping.

you need to work on those fingers...about the face, it GODDAMN GREAT!!!!!

Thanks

well, actually, you should lose some details on those fingers. They radiate too much. The fingers don't look like they are from hers body.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As the viewpoint looks up at her, there is a little bit of forced perspective with her left hand, I was trying to give her left hand more interest with the way the fingers splayed out a bit, give the pose a bit more drama. As for the detail, I'm a bit of a detail freak lol!
