Captain of the Guard

You asked for it. I'm hoping this is constructive. Don't call me harsh, Mother, this is tough love

Okay, for starters you can still see some pixels that you forgot to erase, like around the handle of the sword and that arm she's stretching out.

That 04 on her shoulder doesn't really look like it belongs. It looks like it was just added there as an afterthought and is sort of just floating on her shoulder. It doesn't really flow with the curve of that shoulder... protector thingie.

Somehow the background doesn't just cut it for me. Maybe it's the way that the figure sits on the page or something.

Also, the edges aren't really firmly defined. In some spots there are some things sticking out; in others, it's clearly been eraser-ed out. I'm thinking it should be more consistent.

OMG I CAN'T SPELL.

Anyways. This is really good for just an hour and a half. All I manage in that time is a couple preliminary sketches and half of the lineart.

May I also suggest spending a bit more time on little details like cracks and dirt on her armor as well as the harsher highlights in the metal, and maybe textures on the belt or hilt or whatever. Everything's kinda mellow.

little details count.

Well, I think I'm done for now.

It's really good, honest. There's just always room for improvement.
