    (Colored) Mourning Phoenix Dress

    Black and Whites:
    Before suggestions
    After suggestions

    I've always liked chinese dresses. It might be because I'm chinese but I'm thinking it's because... suffice it to say I find them attractive. My first chinese dress was a gold trim dragon dress that could be seen in my gallery. Dragon Dress

    Anyway, this is the phoenix dress; the continuation of the old cliche. Given her expression and the jug that she is carrying, she represents the fall of the phoenix before its rebirth. In essense though, I just wanted to make a pretty picture. I'll finish this sometime during the week. Any suggestions on changes are appreciated. ;)

    That's brilliant i guess the width of the leg isn't that good and if you colour it would be perfect

    :confused: I'm a bit confused now. Should I change anything then? If so, how should I modify the leg and which leg? :sweat: (I have a history of complaints about how I draw legs.)

    Hrm, I suppose I see where the complaints about the legs come in. Her ankles are a little fat and her legs seem more... masculine and stocky, than slim and feminine.

    HOWEVER [insert comma here] The picture itself is great and I dont see any reason why you would have to change anything. I'm a big fan of the seksi Chinese dresses myself, and this one looks golden.

    I would say, dun change nuttin'!

    Its awsome! Refering to the comments on the legs, the legs or fine. The thigh is the right size, but the calf might need to be tighter and slimmer, you could fix it up easy if you made the ankles slimmer. I just looked at my ankle and it curves in before hitting the foot...but i might just have weird legs.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I'm a nitpicker and it bothers me when I think something could be better but I can't figure out why. I've slimmed down the the legs and ankles as suggested. Hopefully it's an improvement. ;) I've already switched out the old pic for the new version. I'll have the coloring finished by tomorow night (hopefully). For convenience of comparison, both are listed below. Also I was thinking falling phoenix dress is a better sounding title. What do you think?

    I don't know if it's just me, but her hips seem kinda small. Not by much, but they just seem alittle too small. The new version is definitely much better, though.

    I think it looks fine sir :) I think it is a matter of taste, you seem to have your technical skills down to the notch. I preffer thinner hips, a bit thicker legs, and thinning down as I go down to the ankles. but thats just me XD.

    Thanks! I've been playing around with the pattern stamp in photoshop for a while now trying to get ideas on how to use it. Funny how long it takes to figure out a use for something that is obviously useful. It's even more funny that I draw so many red heads considering the fact that I like blondes best in real life. :sweat:

    Colored version.

    Quite simply this one is the Sex. Though, from a completely masculine point of view, I would have put a little more shading and annunciation around her bousoms, giving them a little more shape. However with the dark blue that you used for her dress along with the black pattern I dont know if that would even be effective or not.

    Regardless

    This is much yum! The colors and details are fantastic.

    Thanks! Hmm... do you think lightening the dress color or making the shadows closer to solid black would work? The shadows are there but I have to admit, they are pretty invisible right now.:sweat2:

    :p Crap. Didn't notice that. Must have happened during the shading. I'll fix it in the morning. Next up, a blonde... ;)

    :confused: I am a bit confused now but thanks for the complement. :sweat2:
