That Was Close!

Description

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is digital work. Yes, computerized art.~

FINALLY. After about 6 hours spanning over 3 days, it is finished! My first full digital art! Okay, I know it's likely not perfect and I bet I messed up in quite a few places with the shading, but hey, I still call this a very reasonable effort and a good step forward (no pun intended). Honest critique is welcome and encouraged.

To help celebrate this milestone in my art, I decided to dedicate this picture to :iconmasterofra:. He's always been a fan of my OC, Kira Miyaka, be she an adorable child or teenager. In this picture, Teen Kira is looking for Ra, wanting to show him something. What she forgot from Giantess 101 is the ever-important lesson to "Always look down". Luckily for her as well as Ra, he was able to dodge out of the way in time!

I also have to credit another for this work, and that is :iconarthurt2013:. Without some help from him, I never would have gotten the angle down for Kira's boot in the right panel. This also shows a slight alteration I'm officially making to Kira's boots. I'm actually liking the heel and arch that's on the sole. I may still have her keep her old-style boots, possibly for a winter attire.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my first major foray into the digital art realm. I admit, I had doubts that I could pull this off, but sometimes you just gotta put 'em aside!

Kira Miyaka is (c) to me.
Ra's personification is (c) to *MasterOfRa.

Not bad for your first digital coloring, I'm going to say that.

So I think I'll start off with the flaws, then go into the good things, as is customary for me. End on a high note.

Right away, I can say there's a lack in contrast on Kira, and no shading whatsoever in her hair. No bueno. You're also trying too hard with said hair, and it kind of clashes. Minor things are that the perspectives with the background are just straight up isometric and look like something you would see in an SNES game, and the yellow road lines vanish in the shadow of Kira's foot.

Now on to the good parts. This shouldn't need mcuh elaboration. You already seem to show a decent mastery of SAI's linework layers, so kudos to that. Your perspectives with the characters are actually very solid, and your work appears much less flat than it did before--at least in my eyes. The detail on her boot is very solid and very nicely done, and I think your'e shooting for just the right level with the amount of lineart detail. The imprint of Kira's heel in the concrete is actually a very nice touch, and makes things pop so much more.

You're getting better mate. Just take it step by step, and don't do what I did and trip over myself.
