Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

This is inspired by one of my favorite characters when I played Rifts as a kid. She was an Atlantian Technowizard who fought against the brain tentacle things and slavers of Atlantis.

The advice y'all gave on the egg thing helped me want to do a piece without line art. Freaked me out and I stressed way too much. I don't think the character fits with the background quite enough and would like advice there, and any other critiques you may have.

Now that I've published it I can quit stressing over it!

Looking great, love the way you did the lightning! Also it's awesome to see you exploring new styles and techniques! :)

As for the background... hmm. I can think of only two things and these are nitpicky because I think you did an awesome job on it: (1) I feel like the tall tree in the fore/midground is disrupting the overall composition with its verticality. Maybe if it were cut down / broken / tilted or something? (2) Maybe set a filter layer on the background and try a bit of hue shifting. Sometimes when I'm not happy with a background I try to change the hue a bit (or drastically) to see if that changes anything to the better. It's not worldchanging but a quick and easy trick that can make quite a difference.

I appreciate that, thank you! I've done whole image filters to help but never just the background. I'll give that a go next time.

I think the background choice is fine, it's not like she has to ditch the tech because she left the city or anything. Just going a stroll, watching for bears.

I like the piece! I never heard of that game though. Sounds fun!

It's a pen and paper game like D&D. It's height in popularity was a few decades ago. It's so around but the maker did a good job killing the community by being a dick.

I still like it and want to play a video game based in it but that'll never happen.
