I think it looks great, my only suggestion would be to make the wings look more feathery... add some gradient to the tips of them or something... im not really sure how to explain it.

It looks pretty good though, nice work

..hey.. man..

pretty good coloring..

in my opinion..i think u should add shadows..using the burn tool.. and dodge tool to add highlights..
also u could.. clean up the rough lines..

but .. nice job man

yeah better then i can do but add soem mor gradient to the colors to make it look more 3d

I disagree about what zero panzer said. Having been born in 87, he's been raised in an artificial, digital, world, and does not appreciate that it's a hand drawing.

I do agree w/ xero... Burn and dodge. burn on bottom of thighs, arm, and chin. Experiment with dodge in her hair. See what happens. Maybe try a tiny gaussian blur in the wings to make them more feathery.

Thanks for all your advices. I will mess around with it some more and well see what the result will be.

messing around with pictuers nad experimenting is hte best way to find what you like and what looks good.
