Windi is (c) to mystcloud.

YAY FINALLY IT IS DONE!! XD I was having issues with the lighting. And I got a little sparkle-happy. ^_^ And then I abused the leaf brush, because...actually I don't know why, but it was fun. I really enjoy making shiny magic effects, which is sad since none of my characters have magic. *le sigh*

I love the lighting on her pants and the glowy stuff around her hand. xD :nod:

Sparkle-happy is good! I like the sparkles a lot, and her face, and her hair! Also, I think you did a good job with the leaf tool, I think you used it in a good way! Eeep, its a really nice pic!!!

Whoah :D She has some washing with that hair XD *sorry da brrrrainless-chu*

The weirdest thing in this is that I like her hips O.O a lot! Maybe it's because of that shadowing and lightning shinyness *me write good english* Uu..now I know! It's because it looks much 3D :D W00t!

*huggles her hips*

Alright... after admiring this piece for probably five minutes, now I am ready to talk about it.
The very first thing that caught my eye is her hair... that's (as usual) so wonderfully done.. ya certainly have a captivating way around doing hair, ya know. It IS a bit overdone (for I am pretty sure her hair drags on the floor when she walks and there's no wind effects to keep it afloat :P). Here I am wondering what race is Windi... long pointy ears would suggest elf, but the way her nose is done... so thin and long... coupled with the shape of the eyes and perhaps even the lips, her face actually reminds me of a mouse...? O.o (well that's how it strikes to me....).
Looking closer at the lineart, I notice that in parts it takes upon the color of the fill (like it becomes gray for the shirt), but it doesn't holds strictly true, for there are parts of the shirt that still have a black outline... but then... which is the rule that governs when the lineart stays black and when not? Confusing...

Even though if there's not much magic special effects as an excuse to add shiny things, you can always resort to other means. Wearing metal and silver clothing is always a good excuse for shiny materials. One good example is the silver edge of her.. um.. corset? (that's what it seems to be), by paying a close look to it one can be mesmerized at the wonderness of the lightning.. how it shades, how it shines in hues of purple, it's truly captivating. ^.^ Oh and the folds of the pants and the whole shininess it has is also be jealous for.

The magic light thingie looks pretty awesome below that hand... and the "smoke" (or whatever that rising myst is) looks quite spectacular... altough, I am not so sure about it on the very top of the image where it's subtle... because I can kinda notice the degradation because of the jpeg high frecuency filtering (I suppose the degredation isn't noticed anywhere else because of the quick shifting of colors, while only up there the colors are pretty 'static'). I suppose it ain't your fault at all, it's really the jpg the one being lousy here and ruining the quality. >.< I am just glad that such degradation isn't really noticeable anywhere else. ^.^ (um, looking at the image size, I can tell you saved this at perhaps the normal jpg quality setting -0.75-, considering the awesomeness of your work, you really should look forward at saving your art at top jpg quality -1.0-).
I'll finish off talking about the leaves. To anyone who isn't playing close attention, that background looks very natural and rightly done. Only with close examination is that one can see the work of the leaf-brush at hand; and that means it was pretty well done X3
In the end.. why even bother to say the obvious? It's a grand image like every other piece of work from ye. ^.^

(the one thing that bugs me a little, is that her bracelets on the right wrist seem smaller than the ones on the left, I suspect this is related to the fact that the bracelet lineart is gray on the later while black in the former)

Like online games with flashy effects and cute anime-based sprites?
Try MouRO, I highly recommend it.
