Description PLEASE FULL VIEW

This was inspired by a Legend Of Mana background my friend found on google. I have been wanting to try something like this for awhile now.
I can not say that it turned out how I wanted it to at all. Just experimenting....again.

Mother Natures Daughter, creating illustrious foliage wherever she steps. Bringing the desert to life little by little.

Photoshop 7.0
Wacom Graphire 3 tablet.
Couple of weeks, on and off.

Original Art (c) Siege Redwolf......KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF!

Astounding! Awesomely astounding, and it does carry the feel of the Mana series art. You did such a job on this it's hard to pick it all out on first glance, and yes a full view is very warranted here.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Thank you so much.
I really adore Mana art, something about the enless amounts of lush foliage in every shape color and size.
I would like to go deeper into the bg. Adding more and realllllly working on contrasting, but this one was a real step forward.
Thank you for your kind comment.

um.... i'm not very good at critical comments, coz im just not that good to give them anyway, i just critique a pic by saying awesome, kewl, nice, hmmm its okay, ........ , dont make me look at that
fpr thiss i give nice >.<, its just the dots (the flying things in the skies, what is that?) doesnt seem to spread out (all of them looked like its floating at the same distance) others are just fine
other thing is you said KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF, that means i can use my hands to take it can can??? >.< (sorry for my idiotic point of view)

Meiphon In reply to fawken [2004-09-19 04:03:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, adding the little energy wisps was done at the very end. I did not want them to INTO the bg. Only around where she is, as you can see the desert kills the grass as it spreds out. So I wanted to keep the wisps close to her.
Uhmm >_< no you can not use your hands, mouse, feet, mouth, stick or anything else to steal it hahaa.
Thx for the comment

TheMoroseCherub [2004-09-04 16:47:43 +0000 UTC]

Awesome. I like the vibrant, yet still natural colours here. The whimsical expression worn on her face makes the pice extremely appealing. Since I cant really think of anything negative to say, but still would like to comply with your preferences onm critique, You might consider making her hands just a tad smaller. Other than that (and even including that) this is an awesome piece here!

Meiphon In reply to TheMoroseCherub [2004-09-04 19:36:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeh, I had some problems with her hands. I can draw them fine with pencil, but not at all with a tablet. Thank you so much for the sweet comment. *hugs* thx

soltian [2004-09-04 16:14:20 +0000 UTC]

Really really beautiful...all the detail on the twisting vines, roots, and flowers look amazing. I also really like all the highlights everywhere, and the bright and elaborate folds on her dress. For critique...it's kind of hard to tell where her figure is defined, her hips seem a bit too high. I'd pull her skirt out further to our left so that it defines her hip and leg outwards more, that would make the rest of her features seem more in proportion.

Meiphon In reply to soltian [2004-09-04 19:41:53 +0000 UTC]

HmMmMmM Well i drew her without clothes at first...but yeah...with the dress it seems like I made her hips to small. You always seem to find something like that...then it drives me insane cuz I always miss it. lol. Not saying that its a bad thing though haha.
Thanks Soltie! I appreciate it. Gahhh I need you on messenger or something when I am drawing, so you can point out these little things ahead of time. *poke*

tozokuou [2004-09-04 16:10:37 +0000 UTC]

Your use of color is so wonderful! The detail in the dress folds and hair makes this look professionally done The only thing that looks a little off is the right arm and hand, they look a little chunky Other than that, absolutely amazing

ILL GET YOU NEXT TIME!
the gold sparkely stuff is pretty cool- maybe tone ti down a little though? like walking along and suddenly AAAH! MY EYES! I CAN SEE NOTHING BUT SHINY GOLD DUST
glowingness behind her looks cool also
i still reckon she should have a tatoo somewhere though, viney and natureish of course, or maybe have like roots entangling down one arm into the ground and...[goes off muttering]
someones going to add this to favs, likely

Meiphon In reply to largo-san [2004-09-04 09:00:01 +0000 UTC]

I may have put to many sparklies...but I just love them. Reminds me of the Zelda for N64......loved those things in the air.

I did not want to put to much vines and detail into her. Keeping her simple and detailing the rest. Just so that she would stand out above the rest.
Thanks for your opinion. *hugs* see ya
