ART FART

I really like the colors and design generally, and the glyphs are a nice touch. It's actually really sweet picture, but the wings just seem kinda pointless, being small like that. And that bow looks unusable. The handcover should leave more room for the hand. People often make weapons pretty, but it's disappointing how often they same time make the weapons pointless and unusable.

I love it.

Wings do not have to be solely for flight. Seraphs have six wings - two to fly, four to cover themselves with. (He does lack a pair big enough for flight, but you know what? He has THREE PAIRS of wings - I'm pretty sure I can give that a "fantasy!" pass. Your wings aren't big enough to fly? Add a few more pairs, and you're good to go.)

Unless you have archery experience the bow looks fine. Fantasy is fashion, not function...

You don't have to jump in for her defense if I have comments which aren't necessarily positive.
It was not only the size of the wings that I disliked, but the detail as well. The way they're drawn doesn't just seem to match the quality of the rest of the picture. Also, I commented on the bow because I think it is silly when you compare it to the hands of the character and realize he couldn't possibly even hold a grip of it, because the cover comes in the way of the hand - it's a con to the picture, a minus. I didn't point it out because I'd dislike the picture, but to give the artist something constructive, and even if she'd be already aware of the existing problem, pointing it out to her wouldn't be useless.

I like the pic, and I'm sure it has taken a lot of effort. I don't like the intuition I'm getting of your attitude which your post conveys, though, but complaining more about it would be derailing this thread.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to more of your art, marimo. I spend most of my time at work in DA usually. Concept art is musically very inspiring.

ps. If you want me to explain my problem with the wings further, it is that they lack detail as in texture. Some of the clothes do too, but they're cloth, and say if it was silk for example, it would be natural there isn't much texture. However wings consist of feathers which are living fabric and tend to have a bit different structure than a smooth surface. Therefore, if you compare the wings to the clothes, they may seem similar and correct in style, but if you want to take the logical approach, then it'd be more correct for the wings to have slightly more detail just as what natural wings and feathers look like.

Well, the wings were the most obvious part of the picture that felt out of place for me and the first thing in them that caught my attention and felt incorrect, was their size. As a person who knows next to nothing about Seraphs, I suppose my initial reaction was to connect the problem of the wings to the shape rather than the pattern, as it's easier to notice. However, by further examining I realized the actual problem with how the feathers look may be with their details rather than their actual shape and size.

Result's still that if there's something to improve in the picture, in my opinion it's probably in the wings. I apologize I wasn't able to spot the my exact problem with them first.

looks awesome! i admire your sense of colour.
i don't think the anatomy is a problem to be honest, the head on the second one is possibly a little big but other than that..yeah, it's good! :)

Yeah the average head ratio for a teenager is 7 to their height an adult 8 a super-hero 9 but like boobs said
( chuckle... ).

...yeah...don't call me that
