Amazing!
You really managed to fix problems in the drawing using the coloring, like the weird hips - they look good colored. Also wonderful textures.
She looks almost cute!

Isn't that game just the most beautiful thing you've seen? Nice picture by the way. My only real comment would be this: In the line drawing, she has those wonderful 'goth' eyelashes. If you could translate those into the colored version a bit more I think it would look more stylish. Great picture

God, I love this pict :D and the neurotic colour of the background. A crit ? *thinks hard*..maybe the hair, that's probably the texture of yours I like less. Maybe a simpler hightlight like the black and white version one would suffice. The knife is awesome and the skin/fingers imho perfect !

yea id agree with that SoMK. that was what i would say as well. her right hand part highlight should be more to the left as well, like in the orig. and mine looks, umm, plasticky? hair is a known issue with me! very easy to do wrong and even harder to do right=)

great coloring, man!

i've seen the penciled alice a few days ago and also another colored ver of this by the original painter. can't remember who it was but that one is some great coloring job.

i think the folds on the blue shirt are not really currect but that doesn't bother me really. but the original alice has a dark eye shadow. this alice does not so u can fix it to make it closer to the original but, again, it doesn't bother really.

cool

i took both youre advice and fixed it. i think it worked well. hair looks more real. thanks for your help. youre right about the blue shirt, fabrics and folds are obviously an area that i need to focus on.

Don't you have a site or something ? I'd love to see more artworks of yours !
