*starts ranting about the dragons again*

I'm sure you've already realized this, but it usually just takes a short span of time or a page refresh to get edits to appear as edits, rather than the original. The back ground doesn't match the girl in the slightest. I think it could use a little more contrast, and the girl could use a lot more shading.
it's a pleasant picture:)
EDIT: historical accuracy has nothing to do with it. the back ground is far to cartoonish for the woman. it looks like 2 totally different people drew the bg and fg. and yes, there is not nealy enough shading.

Turtlebuster, i did shade her, but she's so small that you cant really notice it. I suppose that she could use more, though. Oh, and I don't care if the background matches. I was just drawing, not sending in a
sketch to the historical society or anything. I could draw somebody who actually LOOKS medieval, but maybe later.

this is very beutiful!!!!

This is quite pretty, and though I do agree that there's a bit of difference in feel between the background and the foreground, to me it doesn't come across as being quite as extreme a difference as it apparently does to Turtlebuster. I particularly love what you've done with her hair!

My one question is whether her right (farther) shoulder is a little high, or whether it's intended to suggest that she's picking up her skirts on that side, and that's why her shoulder is lifted a bit out of true? Either way I try to interpret it, her neckline seems a bit out of true on that side, and so I've been wondering what you intended.

I've been trying to master poses similar to this one, and my eye for them seems better than my hands can execute so far, but I find it helpful to learn from others' work. As a result, I'm particularly interested in details of the pose, and how to make it convincing to the eye, that's why I ask.

Regardless of the answer, I still think she's quite pretty and eyecatching -- she really stands out, even at this small size and amid the assortment of other pictures in this portion of your gallery. <smile> I'm browsing through your pictures in chronological order, to see how you got to your present skill level, and seeing your earlier works is encouraging -- it gives me hope that with practise, my own work will likewise progress in skill, from the "merely pretty" (no insult intended) to the "truly stunning", as yours has. <smile>

its Mizz Dixie outside her castle!! very purdyful
