Fyre WIP

Beautiful background, good pose - the only thing throwing me off is the lighting. It doesn't match the background. You're looking at a flat area with almost no shade but the lighting seems dull and grey. I'd brighten it a little.

I agree, the lighting makes her seem like she's not really there. It looks like you just have one light shining from the right? I'd add a second on the left so the left side of her face isn't shadowed. Maybe set one a sort of goldenrod color and the other to a pale blue, brighten it like Roz said and add a little color.

The braid and sword are cool. Might do something a little more interesting with her left arm, maybe her hand on a hip or... something, that's the only part of her pose that doesn't seem to add anything.

Looks like it will be a cool sig when you're done with it. :)

Yeah what they said ^^ Just brighten your lights up a bit and should work fine =)
Great pose and scene :)

cool! so i played with the lighting - here are the results...



on the left I added a bluish light and on the right is the blueish light with a yellowish light also (would never of thought of that one though the blue made a lot of sense!) both are fairly low, maybe 25% because i didn't want to overdo it. I like the overall results from each - both have definite bonuses... especially in the shadowing. I think the one with yellow may have turned the trick for this stage - she seems more "in" the image.

as for her other hand - in the sig, it won't matter so much. for the full size, i'm looking for some leaf brushes - she's a Fury, thus a healer and quite a few of her healing spells involve swirling leaves, so in the final result, that hand will have something happeneing (which is gonna require some more light tweaking! yikes!!). I might bring it up and out a bit, but I don't want it to be the focus of the image, ya know?

damn. just realized i STILL haven't fixed her feet!!!
