Omg this is why I hate typing comments on my phone...one wrong mistake and you can lose all of it and teres no control Z button! Fjskalwhwioqdjakowejjwak
ANYWAY. HERE I GO. RETYPING.
Uwahhhh I really love how this came ouHt, Blysse!! She looks really adorable an to be honest I'm quite a big fan of black and white myself so I really don't mind at all! Haha after all it sometimes takes a lot more effort and skill to produce black and white artwork so yep! You did a great job!
I really like how you did her eyes and how the picture has an element of fun to it, however I can't help but feel that this shows you have some lack of depth perception XD.
I watched your process video as soon as you linked me via PM and I was really astonished that even though you had the ref pic I showed you of Riiya open the entire time I wondered: did you really think that her hair didn't extend beyond what the picture showed? Like did you think that maybe the hair might have disappeared behind her back and shoulders perhaps? XDD I wondered how it could have been possible that you would think that her hair stopped exactly where it disappeared...XDD and that surprised me that you could make that assumption. Furthermore it surprised me that you didn't ask me any questions despite the fact that you and I had never talked prior to this challenge and that I was sure you weren't familiar with my characters and gallery XD
So anyways, just a bit of advice for the future: when you get a reference from someone, remember that it is a REFERENCE hahaha. Just because that character shows up one way in a picture, doesn't mean you should follow very element of it to the letter of the law. How did I notice that you did this? Because you even added the curl that I used in the ref I gave you when that curl isn't even actually in her hair style XD I added that myself to make the pic seem more light and shoujo-esque haha, but I thought you'd already assume it was just an extension of her hair lol.
And also pay attention to details, because in the reference I gave you, I had the necklace show pretty clearly and yet you didn't draw it correctly XD did you think about doing some more research about Riiya in my portfolio or asking questions to make sure she looked correct?
I dont mind mistakes because I'm pretty lenient about it since Riiya is a very general and not complex character, but just for the future you might want to keep in mind those things k? Overall I really appreciate the prize and how you kept her in personality, so thank you so much for that! Personality is HUGE for me =)
Thank you so much again! It was a pleasure to enter your challenge and hopefully we can keep in touch! ^^
