Hoshi WIP

Lines. Powerful action lines. They will give her movement, anger, and dynamic Something directional atleast ^^

I've come to gush some more.
I absolutely LOVE the way you've done her hair, and I think the action lines arkillian is speaking of might compete with the kind of splashed effect you have going. Maybe a background like you have in , ooo, or even .

This is cool, Susie!! I really like the writhing anger and torment pose she's got going on ^_^ BTW, she looks totally badarse, Heidi!
I personally think a watercolor-type background would just downplay the effect of her image (no offense to anyone intended!), and action lines might possibly be a bit harsh (again, no offense!)... but maybe something that won't overwhelm the subject and still is powerful on it's own... Maybe a sunburst type effect? Perhaps not with sunny colors, but maybe a sunburst-type motif emenating from behind the character, kind of framing her, but in dark colors, like a photo negative or something. But that's just my opinion, you might think of something better. Can't wait to see this finished!
Better quit before I write a novel...

Perhaps a radial gradient for the background? Maybe suggesting the light source with it?

This is looking great so far, though, BR - but then your works always do.

It looks great! How about using a gradient tool? Like...make it darker on the edges and have it grow lighter as it comes to the center. The color choice is good! I hope that helped a little bit. XD

I'll have to agree with Stealth Nerd... this is definately bad a**! I think this might be my fave of all your drawings so far. Just one thing I see that kinda has me questioning though. I think her breasts look alittle flat not in the sense that she's falt chested but the lighting maybe gives it that flat look. It may just be the way you highlighted it but that's really the only thing I see that's alittle weird. About the BG I really suck at backgrounds so i have no clue what kind of bg you should do . maybe a cloud filter in the back with a gradient or spot light down in the corner. I dunno something like that but awesome awesome job though

Excellent pic! I love the coloring- maybe a dark hallway lit up at the end for a background, that wouldn't take too much time, you think? anyway, good luck!

Just had an idea,
In the song I sent you, it has a line that sings "Too many clouds in my sky today". Does that help any?

great action shot....Love the hair...Very cool ...

Wow, i love the movement in this picture! The eyes are awesome...they seem like they're hurting. And the colors/shade...great work you 2!!!

I think the pose is great. What medium did you use? Maybe the background could contain some hint of the light source which is illuminating the character from the bottom left?

the pose is really cool
