Um. So this is pure shit, but it's pure shit I worked on for like, four flippin' hours, so yeah. It's going up shit or not.
This is... an attempt at realism, I suppose. It actually was going good until I did the hair. I screwed up... =.= Then I just kept screwing up. But yanno, whatever. Next time I'll actually know what I'm doing, yay!
How you can improve to your awesomeness: 1. Try making the shading go with the light source a little more. (The moon in the background is bright, but it doesn't look like it's actually shining on the figure. You can make it a little more clearer!)
2. You are very detailed with the hair (every individual strand? 0.o No wonder it took 4 hours!) However, there is also no shading with the hair. You could probably just add the changes in lighting on a separate layer so if you mess up (and I do that a lot XD) you can just delete the layer and try again.
xD Thanks. I kind of just added the 'moon' on a whim- it wasn't supposed to be the light source. I was tired and very much not thinking at the time I added it.
And as for the hair- I did have the lighting changes added in an under-layer, but it was that under-layer that messed me up so bad, and thus why it looks, uh... *flail* God-awful. xD

After awhile, you realize that all it takes to make something look crazy good is to add details. (Which is why nothing ever looks as cool when we're lazy lol)

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
