Description
Medium: pencil, ps7Character/s: Chokuro (c) meh
Brush/es: clouds, sparklies - ~Scully7491 ; textures - *redheadstock
EDITCropped, and non-sparkly
Gotta figure out how to use those sparklies. But I do like this gold border than the first, spongy one. I enjoyed using the texture brushes too much before realizing the *too much* part, which is why I tried toning down this pic before submitting it. I've just never really used textures before.
A character I've had in mind ever since I tried to think of something I could seriously draw out of hearing Toybox's Butterfly. Her name means 'black butterfly', although I thought red and gold would look good with the general scheme.
She may have a twin, but alas. Not sure.
I know there's something off with those legs, but again, I noticed them after coloring the thing. Urgh. Legs are my bane.

You should try not using too much Photoshop brushes.
My my... You can see from a mile away, a repetitive pattern of what seems to be a cluster of galaxies on the lower right side of the picture.
Even if it's just a thumbnail you can still see it.
Why not try making an individual layer for each click every time you use a preset brush, or as my friend persists to call it, a stamp.
Yhen so you could manipulate in every way possible so people like me wouldn't notice that you used the same stamp over and over again in the hopes of creating a unique effect.
Also the same thing goes for the stamp you used between the fan and the wing located to the left most and also the one located at her right shoulder.
Lastly, skip the frame.
The frame is kitschy.
Same goes for the way you used the stamps.
Hope this helps improve your work.

the stars aren't good, and the frame is out. got it.
guess chokuro won't be having her butterfly dust anymore.
and no, i really like using photoshop brushes. if i made a layer for every time i click a brush though, i'd make 10-20 for every color, so no to that either. i'll nix the star brushes next time. that created the problem for you.

The problem is more like how you used the brush.
The reason why I suggested using layers for the brush is so that you can flip, skew, and rotate the brush print on the canvas. By doing so, it's like creating a whole new set of stardust, very different and almost unique from the first ones used.
After which you can just merge the layers as to not create too much clutter in the layer window.
Its a little tedious but it does make a big difference.
Don't get me wrong, I really like some of your work but it just hurts me every time I see a minor flaw in something great.
