I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw Cybersix on your page. XD

The thing I love most is how you gave Cybersix a strong, healthy body in your portrayal, rather than the slim body type in the original. While I loved the original, this Cybersix really looks like the kind of girl who could kick some serious Fixed Idea butt by moonlight, and then actually pretend to be a man by daylight.

I also enjoy the composition, but I feel it could be tweaked a bit. You gave Cybersix a diagonal tilt, which was a bold move, but I think you could have gone bolder with the cityscape diamonds in the background, possibly made them bigger. What bothers me about the green ones in the back is that none of them go off the edges, unlike the purples ones in front. The green ones create sort of a timidness in the work, as if you were afraid of the borders, and I feel like you weren't going for that. ;D

Also, the city looks beautiful, but it strikes me more of Batman's Gotham or Superman's Metropolis, rather than Cybersix's Meridiana, which I believe was more inspired by Buenos Aires, instead of New York.

With all that said, I found this to be a very enjoyable work, and I hope you continue to keep drawing! :> Take care~

I do believe there are some things I can polish about this image. :'D And I really found your graphic design advice to be helpful. It's still an area I'm working on, so I'm really you pointed out some alternative options~ x) Thanks a bunch~!

Thank you so much for your insightful comments! C':

Well, let's start off with what I love about this picture~

The colors are beautiful, and they add a very heavenly feeling to the mood. Even though Skittlez seems a tad distressed, it's not anxiety-inducing. It feels hopeful to me!

The rendering is well-done on her figure, and I do approve of it loosening up around the edges where the eyes aren't meant to focus. The shadows also contribute well to the ethereal mood.

And I do like your choice in Skittlez' fashion. x) The clothes look lovely, and there's something delightful about the way you do folds.

I also enjoy the composition, for the most part, but there seems to be an inconsistency in direction of the image. Skittlez' gaze, the angle of the images, the birds, and the wind direction all seem to be going toward the top right of the picture. However, there's that one rocket on the left that's going straight up.

Maybe if you made the rocket fly toward the top left of the image, it would lead the eye downward from the top left, down through Skittlez, where the eye would would then exit the image from the right.

Personally, I actually think that you could actually crop the image from the straight line of the rocket stream to the right edge and still have a strong composition. I say this because the rocket stream's vertical line already completely frames the composition on the right, making the left side of the image seem a little extraneous.

_{Although, I do understand if the rocket is important. x'D}

And you're likely to hate me on this, but Skittlez looks extremely stiff, and it doesn't really match the mood of the picture or take advantage of her curves. The gesture in the figure is essentially a straight line down her spinal column. While the diagonal angle we're viewing her from alleviates the severity, I would suggest always keeping the gesture in mind as you sketch out the figure in the beginning.

With that said, I always enjoy your work. :> It's very beautiful and creates a strong mood. Please keep up the lovely job and continue to improve~
