Description
Woo!Kiriban winner *twilightflames requested her OC, Arika!
This is she!
Arika is a cheerful and stubborn girl who travels with some sky pirates.
That was really all the story I got on the character so I didn't want to do anything too specific in case it didn't make sense. I figured an airship is a good thing for sky pirates so D: hope you like it *twilightflames !!no reference used.

Thank you! *twilightflames gave me a lot of freedom to change and alter the appearance, so it's different than her original outfit, but it was still a lot of fun to do! I'm glad you like her!

I really like this pick. It has nice cheerful atmosphere, and a lot of nice details. Coloring work is also good.
I really like her energic pose, and ewpression. Red eyeshade around her eyes were good add, and make her eyes stand out better. U have colored well her hair, and especially those highlights looks good.
Those clothes of hers are also pretty intresting, and include nice details.
Background's sky makes this even better, and i really love it's colors! Air ship is also well done

Thank you so much! I don't work with a lot of straight black a lot and I work with red even less so I was nervous about it. Overall I'm actually surprised with how much I like this piece lol.

Once again, gorgeous work. Your attention to detail is just astounding.
Two small things that I noticed, though. The first is the ribbons that are tied off at her right hip and the edges of her gloves. The art style for them doesn't seem to match the rest of the picture. Everything else is sort of "soft-edged", whereas the ribbons are very sharply edged, outlined in straight black like that.
The other thing is, her hips seem wider than they should be. That's probably just how she's standing, it just seemed a little off to me.
Hey, lookit me, I provided actual commentary!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I definitely agree with the ribbons.
Thanks though, for the comment/critique. I'll keep it in mind for the future!

Your welcome!! ^^
It always pays off when you spend a lot of time on it heh
Although even when I know that, I still am very VERY impatient with artwork that I try to finish it quickly and then BAM...it doesn't come out the way I wanted it to be...

oh god I'm the same way. I always go 80% and drag myself for another 10% and never quite finish it off. :c I hope to learn a little patience one of these days lol

yeah i hope that this new year, I can get better at being patient...oh hey I got a new years resolution now yaaay! (at first I didn't know what my resolution would be lol)

It's wonderful!! I absolutely adore her cape! All the details are amazing, as usual, and then the background is utterly shocking! Purple and blues always make the best backgrounds 
I'm always happy to see your pieces lol. I'm sure *twilightflames is very happy right now ^.^.
