Title: Scouting the Area
Name: Neil Amiel Cervantes
Country: Philippines
Software: Photoshop

This character design was done by my friend and officemate Godfrey Escota, one of the pencillers we have at work, because I requested a character design from him that I could color. I started coloring underneath the lineart, but he requested I paint over the lineart, like my other officemate known here as 'balasa' has been presuading me to try. I colored this entirely by Photoshop 7, took me many hours to do. Thanks for looking, and comments and suggestions on my coloring are very welcome. :)

Hi Neil

Since is not your drawing, I won't make crits about it. for the colors, they are good, but I really don't like the textures you made on the tree, BG plants and on fur on her legs. They are looking too artificial and rushed, compared with the girl. These are the kind of things you can't rush, you have to use all your patience paiting. Or try to use some photos as base, so you just have to paint over the textures, to adjust where they don't look good. don't forget that what really matters are the final results, not how you arrived there ;)

Hope to see more from you.

Hello, Amauri. :)

Thanks so much for the critical comments, I'm very pleased. I agree with pretty much everything you mentioned. Everything in the background, and the fur on the legs look particularly rushed. I'll try to avoid uploading rushed work next time.

Have a very good good day, and thanks again! :)
