Description This is for a contest I'm entering guys. MOST DEFINITELY THE BEST PIECE I'VE EVER CREATED. EVER. Used my Tablet and Photoshop (along of course with a tiny bit of ref for the costume and pose).
I'm thinkin I spent probably 10 hrs on this... Maybe more...

PLEASE CRITIQUE. I can take it.

Enchantress Belongs to Marvel. NOT ME. Art belongs to me for now.... unless I win the contest. Then it will belong to Marvel.

Ah, I forgot to include my thoughts of her spell in the previous comment... It looks decent, not too eye-catching, but I can't honestly say how could you improve it (if you're not happy with it being a subtle effect, of course). Effecs are too hard for me to give any advice to others... But I think that the fact that she's casting a spell, together with her left hand being more closed than open, heightens the feeling that she's going to attack you, and rather sooner than later. Was it your train of thoughts behind this pose? I'm curious!

Thank you so so so so much for the critique. I HIGHLY VALUE your words. I do see the small things you pointed out and I am very grateful for such praise. I see what you mean about the spell, And here was my reasoning behind it... I spent probably close to an hr of drawing and redrawing looking up reference and redrawing that stupid left hand of hers to a point where it looked ok. Well... when I colored the whole piece her hand just looked so empty, I hadn't put fingernails on her fingers and I was really tired of looking at that hand. So the other day while I was bored I had doodled out a fairy and used a series of dots behind her as a magic effect. So I figured I'd use a dotted magic trail to help cover some of my mistakes and make the drawing less boring. I had played around with the idea of trying to do some kind of more violent lighting bolt effect, but frankly ^^' I hardly know what I'm doing when it comes to photoshop so I figured I could save alot more of my time and would be much happier if I went for the less violent approach. I am very grateful you have given me an evaluation and I most certainly will take everything you said into consideration if I try my hand at some more Amora fanarts in the future.

Aww, thank YOU for such long feedback to my feedback lol. I tend to give long comments, but I rarely get an answer longer than two phrases. I also like your shading technique, it's sparing but effective and reminds me of some game covers. Now that I've said it, I realize that the whole pose is in fact very cover-ish.
Ah! And I would almost forget - thank you very much for the watch! I am so happy about that!
I'm lazy with adding new pictures, though... You've been "warned" XD

Oh yes I understand, and YOUR artistic style is beautiful so I've decided to watch you ~ thank you for the llama my friend! Perhaps we will have a long conversion on deviantart again sometime soon!
P.s. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU for the crtique >< I really love that someone apprecites my art enough to leave such detailed and wonderful comments on my pieces.

I don't know if your statement about this picture being your best piece ever is true, but it s an amazing drawing anyway! One can truly see the effort you put into this! I love how her hair is falling against her skin, it looks so smooth and soft... Almost disneyish, and in my book, that's a huge compliment. Then I really like how you've drawn Amora's face, it seems that you wanted to give her a distinct features. There are little anatomy issues (her lips seem to be a little too high? Or something... I'm not sure) but there's also a certain feeling her expression gives off, kinda... like she was trying to seduce you but also plotting against you at the same time; very Enchantress-alike also!

Plus I like her clothes here, especially her helmet... thing. Sometimes it looks just stupid, but here it's beautiful. Loving the black (instead of dark green, for example) leggings, too. Not sure about the amount of lines on her gloves in general, but in this pose they do look very good. And maybe it's a tiny detail, but I love how there's a line of brighter green at the top of her neckline, it makes her outfit a little bit more dignified than usually.
It's also cool that she has a sexy, but not oversexualized pose, I can't stand the latter

The green background makes sense, but due to it it's really hard to decide if her costume's colours are looking perfect together or if you should make some parts for example more dark or whatever... The white background could be better for that, but like I said, the green one it's nice to look at too, only makes it harder to comment your colour choices. Maybe a gold one would be better? Hmm...

Now that I looked at it the picture again, I see that Amora's neck maybe a little too long here. But honestly, it's not that terrible mistake since many fan artists, mee too, tend to make either too long or too thin necks.

It's a great work anyway, I hope you do well in the contest, because your take deserves it! Honestly I didn't even know Marvel did a contest for Enchantress fan arts, but that's great! I know her only from Avengers: EMH TV series and her brief appearance in Thor: Tales of Asgard movie, but I really like her now.

Thanks for sharing it here!
