Rika Blue(middle) is a 13 year old replica of Rika Staarfeild. Having the power to turn into a demon with huge fangs and very sharp claws adn reflexes, she destroyed many. Pinpin, (right) is her watcher. He watches her and tries to calm her down before she goes berserk. Dark Rika (right) goes into Rika and controls her rage.
Rika's sweet personality and kind nature is very uneasy. No one believes that she was in a "Special water tank" in a mental institute underground to keep all the hostile people. She loves Strawberries and drinks a lot of Strawberry Smoothies. She likes to play her flute in the " Field of Stars" but all the animals are driven away due to the "Dark Trails" she leaves. Every where she steps, that black oozy darkness always stains the ground.
Her eyes are very maniac-like. They're always dilated.
The outfit is from her friend JJ who couldn't stand her walking around in her swim suit.
The ribbons was given to her by Tate, Brian, and JJ to remember her true self as Rika Staarfield. The ribbons in fact DID belong to Rika Staarfield.
I think you did a good job on this, and I like the idea.
but a few things bother me..
• the blood looks too.. un-blood like. it kinda just looks like red strings to me. maybe next time you draw blood, you should try to make it look a little more "oozey" and kinda like it's 'dripping'
• there doesn't seem to be enough shading on the socks/leggings. they just seem a little bare. maybe you should add some folds or something?
• her head looks weird. it just doesn't... correspond with how her eyes are. either that, or her head is kind of misshapen or un-proportional to her body. also, her hand looks a little to big.
other than that, nice job. keep working at it, and keep practicing!
I really love this. The character design is great and your CGing keeps getting better and better. You should be really proud of yourself for being as good as you are at your age. (I can't wait to see how you'll be in a few years). But I guess I better give some criticism, or else it kinda defeats the purpose of a critique.
- I think you may want to make your lineart cleaner. Even when zoomed out, you can tell that it's messy in some areas, especially around the legs. I think if you drew faster strokes and used the eraser to remove the jagged edges that it would look nicer.
- I really like the softness of the coloring, but I think you should add a some more shading on the dress and pants. Also, maybe you could start coloring your lineart?
- There's a bit too much empty space. I think you should crop it a bit more.
- The hair could use some more shading, too, and some highlights (hair is one of the hardest things to CG for me ).
That's really all I can think of... sorry, I'm not the best at critiquing! Just keep practicing and practicing, and remember to draw things like fruit to help with color theory (and other things), draw nekkid people to help with anatomy, and watch other people draw. In fact, I think you should join drawr.com - even though it's Japanese, making an account is simple and you can watch each image being drawn. It's helped me, at least.
I can't write a critique because I don't have a subscription, and I don't have much art experience, but I'll try my best!
Her expression is intimidating and sweet at the same time, but also a little spooky. She looks small and frail, but powerful in a different way. I like the contrast of the black and white, and I like the coloring of her hair eyes. The overall image is very sweet, and neat. I know I should be telling you a way you can improve yourself, but I don't know how or what you can improve. I think It's beautiful!
I love this picture, I believe it is one of ur best ^^
All i really have to say is I that I think there should be a little bit more shading on the legs and hair. But that's just me. In all This is a great picture.
