Description Wooohaaa it ies finished after a month of pain and cracking up my brain trying to improve my colouring.
Mweh i think i booked some progress with this one, still not as good as i had in mind but i'm starting to get sick and tired of it, so i quit. No perfect anatomy, perspective, architecture etc etc but i'm happy with it.
Oh and there are three suns here. Or... eh the buildings are reflecting the light from different angles. Or something.

I like magpies. They're evil.
Apperently, when horses and cows are a little sick and sleepy, magpies sit on their back and start eating their flesh alive... or so i heard... 8B scary...

Photoshop 7 from start to finish, wacom tablet

Loving it =^_^=
the perspective rocks, and the colouring is excellent... but most of all, the magpie on her shoulder just feels... alive. dunno how you managed that, or even if that was your intent. but there it is. +favved.

Magpie queen. *___*

Sorry, I adore magpies. Along with pest behaviors they may or may not do, they're also largely responsible for cleaning up most road kill.

Anyway, the picture...Lovely choice of colors, the orange and reds contrasting with the dark blue blacks and whites of the birds. Nice use of shiny objects too >.>

O________O I definitely think this is one of your best yet. Looks like a professional illustration or something.
I looooove the perspective.
AMAZING!

I agree with most of the comments...

There is a major issue with the extreme subliminal suggestion in the pose and positioning of the character on the 'pole' and holding the 'ring'...

Do you not think it's a bit phallic?



Great dev tho hun x

when I first saw the title I thought of LOZ, the character Nabooru(I have it on the mind lately..n.n;; )
But this is really kewl, such a neat idea. I love her expression, like shes peering at it wondering what its worth is. Really neat how shes perched like that. +fav Ive missed your stuff

thanks! Took me a long time to get ANY expresion at all. I love anime style but compared to eu/vs comic style it lacks facial expression. People often think 'pretty' and 'expression' can't go together.

Really awesome concept. I love how the center of focus is the diamond ring, so shiny and blue~ The atmosphere and perspective are totally fantastic. The magpies are so darn cute! :3

Damn it, you made the magpies steal for her? That's such an awesome idea.. this is one of those times I really hate myself for not thinking of this before. >:/
Greatly done, eventhough there's quite a few technical problems with it, I declare this my favorite of your works.

merci merci, but do tell me the technical problems!

Runedemilot In reply to ming85 [2006-09-26 19:11:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure you're aware of them. The coloring could be a bit more smooth (her face looks a bit flat because of sharp shading lines in the wrong places), the perspective ain't optimal (for example her right hand is tiny compared to the right knee, eventhough it shouldn't be too much further down), and the light from the ring is quite harsh. Asuming it's the sunlight shining through, and not some type of magical ring. Still, if the latter is the case, the question why her skin and clothing reflect more light than her golden jewelry remains.

But those are just nitpicks, overall thing is very sweet. Contemplating art theft. Hmmm..
