Artist's Comments

Im not good with backgrounds, i need to learn a LOT about color, the character gets a bit lost with the background and the green i think it looks too green even though i toned down the saturation a lot, there are 3 things im proud of this pic
1. i finally dared to draw a background, though it sucks XD
2. i think the pose turned out nicely
3. the DAMN TATTOOS!! DX

I wont draw this character EVER again D: too much effort and time on the tattoos.

This girl had no name, she was just a stray wild lonewolf, savage as she is, one day someone decided to try to take care of her and gave her a name, Alexandra, or Alex.
Shes a short fused wild woman who likes to hunt and pwn whoever dares or crosses paths with, the stronger the better.

damn bg... i hope it would have turned out better

Edit: i fixed a bit of stuff, nothing i can do for the light source but i fixed the saturation more, and i added the shadow below the character

I think it is a good work, the line art is very good and it is obvious that it took a lot of effort.
Things that you could improve are:
1-keep the light source consistent. You have light coming from all over with no real direction. Also she does not seem to be casting a shadow on where she is crouching. Also keep the light the same color for all the image.
2-A good way of getting your background not to compete with your focal point is to keep the saturation down. Also remember aerial perspective, when the background recede it gets bluer.
Hope this helps! I think you did a very good job!

If your background suck, I am a winno. Which I most assuredly am not!

thanks ^^

All the work shows at the end.
The red tresses. The axe. The little clothing she wears. The arms details and of course the damn tattoos. They are beautiful.
About the background, it shows. I especially like the trees.
XD
And it is good to see you doing backgrounds.
I am expecting to see you begin a comic! Or a manga, whatever.

Awesome stuff. The whole thing just shouts "fantasy jungle" ya know? :XD:

But all in all, I find Alexandra sexy and this a good one. :D

esta bastante bien en todo sentido, el fondo tmb esta aceptable, solo te falta controlar la iluminacion para dar el efecto de profundidad. En general tiene buenisimo detalle.

Lastima que para esta resolucion no se aprecie bien el detalle de la chica con tanto fondo XD, pero mis respetos por los tatuajes tambien =D

:iconlaguzinthelake:
well... I think the background is GREAT! O.o

It would take ages for me to draw something like that, and well, I'm bad at leaves and weed... the tree on the left looks really gorgeous!

The warrior itself also looks very appealing and the tattoos are a nice eyecatcher. I'm just afraid that the background itself distracts a little from her.

But: really awesome work ^^

:icontamura:
practicare los backgrounds, aunque no me gusten, >< pero eso de no saber que onda con colores y luz me caga! entonces solo hay una solucion BACKGROUNDS
:iconaaagh:
Esta bien verte practicar fondos, pero coincido con que tan elaborado le resta importancia al personaje!

Te comenté lo mucho me que gustó el personaje y los tribales? :D buen diseño!
