Kaithe, a character from a short story I'm writing called 'Incarnate'.

Things I like: The underlight, her hair, the blue part of her dress
Stuff I delike: her skin colour [too blue and saturated!], her ear, her face, her eyes [too big for my liking], everything else in general.

I'm not really very good with oekaki, I can NEVER seem to get it to work for me even after two years. >_< I think only the bottom quarter of the image and her hair turned out normal enough not to burn your eyes out.

I'm not used to cel-shading, so forgive all the bad flaws. Sorry.

This was my first time ever colouring hair with cel style, so I think it turned out relatively successful. =3

Umm..I love criticism. I really want to improve, I'm not happy at all with my current art style.

yes, the underlight is quite nice, and you have a good sense of proportions. I would've actually made her skin a darker shade of blue, but that's just me; I like darker colors. :3 Your art style is neat and easy on the eyes, so you shouldn't worry too much. :D Keep practicing is really all I can suggest. Hope to see more of your work!

Her skin is actually supposed to be a whole lot lighter, and a bit more purple at that...I think I got lazy. I like darker colours too, but that was just how I designed her character. Thankyou. X3

that's cool ^^ i'd say her other ear should be showing a bit on the right side :3 and the eyes freak me out... but meh this is real cool :D cel shading is fun fun ^_^ i like the hair best

I agree with doOp on the whole ear thing, but other than that, there's nothing to critisize C:
I adore the hair

Yeah, yeah. XD Can I pass it off as being lazy? Or not noticing? Or..something? XD Or...maybe her ears was...partly ripped off or something.. Nah, I see where you're coming from. The ear should be there, yes.
I couldn't get the eyes very right since it was just cel-shading..but meh. Thanks for your comments! ^__^ <3
