Thank you for your kind words!

.. only crit I can think of is that there's some aliasing around the wings. Did you leave it like that intentionally or did you simply forget the AA?

I was hoping it would add some kind of texture to the wings, instead of oversoftening everything.

seriously, great work, I haven't seen anything from you that had me thinking you needed to redeem yourself, but whatever drives you

You haven't seen my graveyard of unfinished pieces. 

i thirst for progress shots.

Unfortunately, I haven't saved any progress shots. I have to remember that for my next piece. 

@ ZoSo: I'm not entirely happy with the weapon, but after several hours of messing around with it, I just gave up. 

Hey guys! I just wanted to say that I finally found a job as a game artist! This was my first week and so far it went well. 

Not doing pixel art though, but lowpoly 3d. Yes, I'm a heretic, I know. 

Thank you so much for the extremely helpful critiques! I knew there was something off with the anatomy, but I hadn't been able to pinpoint it.

Wayuki, I never thought I'd live to say this, but you have anatomical issues.

Well, I don't consider myself an expert on anatomy by any means. I'm one of those silly people who learned to draw by looking at comics.   
It's only fairly recently that I've tried to bring more realism into my work, and with a huge piece such as this, it really becomes apparent that I still have a long way to go. But that's also the very reason I'm taking on pieces like this... because I need to learn.

Anyway, looks like I have some major restructuring to do. I'll see what I can do about it tomorrow. 

Where did you come from?

From the dolling community. Bwahahaha. 


EDIT:

I adjusted the figure. Better?



I decided to keep the hand poses and the straight back leg, because I think changing them would be more of a hassle than it's worth. I wasn't really thinking "belly dancer" when I made it, anyway... more like "fantasy style enchantress".
