Shrink's Free Card Art

[agentflare]

Updated with swords

I had to do something with the armor color scheme, it was just too plain. What do you think?

Not bad. I still think something is wrong with the proportions. I think I'll edit this post later with my version (it'll be realistic-ish), since I have no tablet and thus my lines are really bad.

I suppose you may, but in the end it's what ZBlader thinks of the drawing. If he has any problems with the proportions, it is then that I will edit the piece.

Thank you for any further help that I receive from you though

The proportions look strange because the position is strange.
Looks good so far, but i think the head (face and hair) look plain.

Of course! I don't mind at all, it's just would you rather me change the color scheme for the second one at the end or now so you can see what it might look like?

At the end.

The proportions look strange because the position is strange.

I agree with this, though I'm not exactly sure if that means it should be changed or not. I'll wait for Agentflare to post his suggested edits before I jump to any further conclusions.

I also agree, but it looks like he isn't done with those parts yet (considering the eyes aren't done).

Ok, the edits I'd make are:

1. Legs too short. It just feels kinda weird. Yes, maybe it's the pose, but when it comes to art, if it feels right, it is right.
2. Shoulders too square. The figure feels fairly masculine. Judging by the breasts, I'm assuming it should be more feminine. Rounding the shoulders will help.
3. Lower the breasts a bit. Breasts on a female are a bit lower down.

Other than that, it seems fine.

EDIT:
Just a note, Front profile poses look really weird. I recommend a sort of 3 quarter pose to make it more interesting looking.

     Legs can easily be extended.

2. Shoulders too square. The figure feels fairly masculine. Judging by the breasts, I'm assuming it should be more feminine. Rounding the shoulders will help.
     How do you propose I do this? She's wearing armor, so it's supposed to seem bulkier.
 
3. Lower the breasts a bit. Breasts on a female are a bit lower down.
     This is my first time drawing a female, so the whole thing with proportions were guesstimated, including the positions of the breasts. Thank for this. I'll see what I can do..

Other than that, it seems fine.

I have no idea how to do this well.

Is there any way around not destroying/changing all of the body? It would have been much more help had you said most, if not all of these things during the sketches.

Most modifications agent suggested might be doable without modifying much, assuming you work with different layers.

[Shrink]

Alright so I have updated the image including the following modifications:

• Slightly lowered breasts and reduction.
• A curvier look to the shoulders, still holding the look of a stringer female warrior/knight.
• New armor on only one shoulder now.
• Extended legs, adding knee braces for bend.
• Very slight change to the upper body armor. The curve was lowered.

Looks a lot better now.
Are you planning to add a background?

Yes, I was thinking old ruins of a city.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

[ZephyrPhantom]

Maybe a floating castle to symbolize Animate Weapon?

Is this to be the focus of the background and what do you think the size of it should be?
