First of all: I draw a lot of Starfires lately, so beware - there's more to come! *evil laugh*
I can't help it, she's so beautiful!

So, here you have a "kind-of-coloured" sketch. I wanted to draw something between her design in comics and Starry from Teen Titans TV series. I'm still not satisfied, but I thought this is good enough to share. The anatomy isn't really that great (uh-oh), but I hope you like it anyway!

And , please. Thanks. C:

I think it looks good! It could do with some finalizing to take it beyond the sketch stage, but other than that, you're on the right track.

Kein Problem! Det wird was!

Seit einigen Tagen laufen mir dauernd Teen-Titans-Künstler über den virtuellen Weg, die mein Profil untersuchen und mich auf Deutsch ansprechen ... ich bin jetzt fast schon ein Jahr hier und es hat so lange gedauert?

Ich versuche einfach immer, auf die Profils meiner Besucher kurz zu schauen. Wenn ich bemerke, dass jemand eine Sprache spricht, die ich kenne, dann antworte ich auch in jener Sprache.

Hey the anatomy is looking great here and despite what you say about the coloring, that's kinda cool seeing you used the various tones of coloring to vary the clothing, from the hair to even the eyes and stabolts, nice.

Compliments on the great flow of her red hair and the focus on the hands and giving them some design and flare. Can't imagine some images without hands they play such a vital role. You certainly seem to have the skill to present them quite well so hats off to you mai-takeru.

Back to the anatomy you did alot better than you give credit for. Starfire has always had that slim look and you kept well to that and including a nice chets and some additional bust around the hips, hell its hard enough to take your eyes off her, lol.

Keep up the talented work mai-takeru and cheers lastly on the cool glowing spin from her starbolt there, bravo.

Later,

Oh my... First of all, thank you so, so much for this comment! You're the first one to give me such a long text with plenty of remarks! This is what I always try to do in my comments and what I would also like to read. What every artist here would like to read, I guess! *full of joy*

I'm very happy to hear nice words about the anatomy, I'm always worried about it, because my sketches are messy and I redo the outlines many times before the result satisfies me. And when it goes about the colouring - I'm kinda impatient and I quickly get irritated by Photoshop, so that's why I add new drawings so rarely. I know, it's a big fault for an artist...

So I'm glad you like my fast substitution of properly done colouring. C: I feel that hair design is essential about Starfire, so I'm happy to hear about "great flow" Also the "ts hard enough to take your eyes off her" part... I just can't believe someone actually means it about my fan art. Thanks one more time! and sorry for the babble

But I must add that in fact, hands (and feet) are my weak point - they always come out sharp, stiff and too long. I'm far from being happy about my skills in drawing them. I also hated how the flare came out, so it seems like a miracle for me that you like it! xD

Yeah its hard when your hoping to get some feedback for all your hard work and worse when your trying to learn on what you need to improve on, bleh. Anycase your more than welcome for the comment, really glad someone here is reading them. ^o^

Well anatomy is a tricky game and you really do learn from those mistakes where to bend and curve your figure like Star here. Plus don't worry your not the only one who gets a little annoyed from having to draw in a digital program, lol. You'll learn to work with it over time, trust me.

Oh yeah and like some characters each have their own unique feature that defines them and course it be wrong to say Starfire didn't have awesome hair. Well you'd better believe it, definitely wasn't kidding when saying how awesome this art and style look.

Actually have a hard time with hands myself and give yourself some credit to being able to make them looks like hands than some people drawing them like claws, lol.

Once again its all thing that comes with time and really doing the best you can with every drawing. If you keep practicing and always, always having fun you'll be a master of drawing hands, feet or whatever.

Besides most people here love to hide the hands or feet so compliments to always trying, hell is works alot better than being in that artist regret eh?

All the best to your artwork Mai and keep it up. You got some great potential and the need to expand yourself, that goes a long way here, nuff said. ^-^

Later,
