--CRITIQUES ENCOURAGED-- Silly dA doesn't seem to allow the advanced critique option anymore
My original character Reia (previously Raiyu). This is the beginning of the end of her career; if your profession is murder, there is little room for guilt. This is a rare moment where she is allowing regret to override her emotional control.
Done in 0.5 mechanical pencil. I increased the contrast in Photoshop because the scan came out really light. x.x
And what category should this be in? Is it manga enough to put it in the manga-anime style category? I don't where to stick my stuff anymore!
OMG!!!! *flails* You posted! *basks in the glory of your art*...haha I'm sure you're making faces as you read my comment, mwahahaha. The only critique I have is that her foot looks a little too skinny, but otherwise it is utter love and awesomeness! Lol so now she's Reia? Is that an Alias or is her name just changed? The expression and the pose completely emphasize the guilt she's feeling, and even a lonliness. Your shading is flipping amazing, and the detail...the pillar is killer Boo on the scanner for eating the shading. The feather is a nice touch, though ^____^
ahhh, my comment is raaandom cuz I have to go to work in like 10 mins...but yes, LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! *flail*
as to where to put your art...hmmm...it still hsa a touuuuch of anime/manga, but also realism. I dunno, that's up to you XD
OMG you updated and looks awesome XD I love the shading and the little feather on the side, nice touch

[link] Look at my gallery <3 plz?? *puppydog eyes* 98% of all teenagers have smoked or smoke pot. If you are one of the 2% who haven't, copy this and paste it into your signature.
Her foot does look funny, now that you mention it. Thanks for ze tip.
Reia is her name, not an alias. I thought 'Raiyu' was too asian, and I want her to be less ethnic and more...anything, I guess. The name change might help a little with rewriting her story too. Asher is still Asher though. Yeah, Reia's a pretty lonely soul.
Mm, my style is definitely still stylized, so I suppose I'll keep sticking them in the anime-manga category.

People, Fantasy, Manga... they all work. It's just how [i]you[/i] want to describe your work that matters.
I really like this, and the anatomy isn't too off, with the exception of the face, but you have this down as manga style, and that just comes with the territory. Even with the perspective, though, the foot should be a little bigger. Also, the hand could look a little more relaxed if you're expressing some guilt and remorse... unless it's the violent "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" kind of guilt.
I adore the face, though. The expression is nice and clear. Also, I like that you don't have a detailed background or just the stark white of the paper. The presence of the pillar gives the viewer a space to place your character in, and your faded objects add to the meaning you're going for.
Hope that's enough critique for you! :3
