[Feedback] Girl with pandas

on: January 20, 2018, 10:31:41 pm
Hey all, a friend recently asked me to pixel her surrounded by pandas. Since it's like a "gift" I want it to look really nice.

Haven't done the background yet, I'd like to know if it looks good so far, and what could be corrected / improved. :)

Thanks in advance !

You might want to try using a reference to get the foot/leg positioning correct. The first thing that sticks out to me is that the top of her foot should be flat to the floor rather than perpendicular to it - that looks very uncomfortable there!

Thanks eriophora, the foot was indeed done in a hurry and then forgotten about  :D
I made an edit but I feel like I've made it worse somehow xD

The breasts seem to be trying to escape to the right side of the image xP I think you might need to shift them over to the left a bit.

Honestly the biggest problem I'm seeing here is the arms. They're pretty gimpy, redraw those and tweak the head/neck to fit that torso better and it'll pass snuff!

I made a small edit that re-centers and the breasts, and lowers the head on the shoulders, maybe the change is too subtle ? One information I forgot to mention is the character should be a bit chubby, so maybe that explains part of her anatomy ? Probably not, but I thought it might be useful to mention it :')

@MysteryMeat I don't really see what you mean with the arms, could you be more specific as to why you don't like them ?

In a nutshell, they're A: too skinny to sell the chubby angle, and B: not nearly long enough. In addition, she seems to be lacking an elbow!

It's way more apparent in her camera-left arm, take a look at this picture for a better idea on how to proportion it better:

Is this better ?

(I also tried another colour for her shirt, to try and "warm up" my picture, does it look nice ?)
