Artist's Comments

This is a drawing I've had in progress for some days but have some doubts about it. I originally intended clouds all around her. However, I am now thinking to only add the clouds under her and letting it fade into white. Same goes for her wings, instead of finishing them, then having them fade. I just am not sure what will look better.
What do you think?

I think, after scanning her, perhaps her wings are a little too high up. I am trying to make them look like they are protecting her from above but maybe they should be lowered a little.

Feel free to give me your thoughts and suggestions.

:iconleavexaxwhisper:
First I want to say that this is a very good piece. The shading is all right (as it usually is with your work).

One thing I notice in your comments was that you think her wings should be lower, I agree with that. The height at which the wings are at now makes it look a little as though they are attached to her neck.

I like your idea of the fading of the wings and the clouds. I do also think that it may look best if you just go with clouds beneath her. I think if you were to put clouds all around her it may take away from the picture, depending on how close you put them toward her body.

I think you are doing very well with this one. I can't wait to see it finished.

I think putting solid clouds beneath here and pale clouds in the background would bethe best idea. Then for the wings do those full and realistic or it will look strange <3

this is so beautiful!!!!
i love your suggestion about the clouds just beneath her and making the wings fade into the bottom clouds, personally i wouldn't add any clouds above i wouldn't want anything distracting her beautiful wings , i can see you added some clouds beneath her feet and where she is sitting and i love it, i would add clouds just where her fingers/hands are showing and make them fade into the background, either way i love it already and even undone it's beautiful :)

the vignette effect you're working with is extraordinary, with the fading into the wings and up into the clouds I would simply suggest that the composition of the light details you continue to add, that the shapes they create lead into her and embrace her...not sure how to 'say' it :) it is reminding me of the effect used in this portrait I recently found here on DA

check out how a similar sort of 'fade' is used, but it embraces the face for the portrait. That's kind of what I'm saying.
This is so beautiful!

I think that the wings are a tad high. I'd bring them down a bit. I'd bring them down to about half-an-inch above her head. When I think of protection, I think of wings that are low, right above her head and really tight around her or close to her body. I think you should the background white or lightly shaded and just keep the cloud underneath her so it so she stands out.

Fade bottom and fade the back of the wings, and yes they are a little too high. xD I love this picture though, when finished it will be among my favorites of your work. :)

For the wings, may I suggest you reference some pictures of birds of prey who are shielding their kill or 'mantleing' their wings over their kill. Sorry for the gory reference, I have this image of the wing sort of partially opened, but turned or pivoted to shield.
