Description Originally named "Golden Clouds" but of course - things change. My latest personal work, who for some reason got finished sooner than the kiriban. I tried to make a more modern twist on the classical "sorcerer in robe" theme. but wow them sleeves were harder than I expected. and pearls who turned into dots. and yeah of course I used a long long time on this.
I hope you like it! Critiques are welcomed as always.

hey, i like this. it looks good. you should make the light source from the fire a little more local and make it light up the face kind of like this [link]

then you would have a better vocal point

Really good job on the hands and face. The semi-realism here is very good. The perspective and length of the picture also takes advantage of the empty space. Good job.

I like. I like very muchly. So muchly i speak very goodly english
The colours are neat, the hands are great, but it really seems to me like it's missing this mega "glow" point. You know how much i like glowy things. The details for the dress and necklace are very nice, and she has a lovely face. The colours are beautiful, it would make a lovely print.
Kinda disappointed the pic is so small actually!
Also, i think the hands would cast a shadow on the lower dress but i'm not sure.

Aw, your comments are always so nice and helpful and everything <3 Hahah, excellent english.
I'm glad you like it so much! Yeah there's too little glow here :/ but when I try to add more it just looks too much imo. but oh well. Again, thanks for the feedback.
the original size is around 1700x2000px but I make it smaller just in case anyone would want to try and steal it (superparanoid Naariel, lol)
but I uploaded a little bigger version now hehe

Woot!
You should try hiding watermarks in the pic, like that you can prove it's your if they steal it and remove your signature. That's what i do.. Kinda stupid i know x)


Yay bigger version! Much better.
Also, i think you should add one or two stars in the darkest bit of the sky, not too many, but a few.

Also, i *coughstolecough* your picture to show you how much glowy you should add, i noticed the higher hand was a bit off, the thumb is too low down on the hand.
... could you come on my stream? [link]
