Not sure I'm entirely happy with it, but I tried to do a sort of symbolic "tarot card" style thing. Link because the image is rather large (I think) and the content is gory.

I decided to alter the background a tad because it strayed from what I wanted to convey with "busyness." I'll post it here (if the image is too large feel free to remove, moderators.)

Love the silouhettes and the dress's design - I think the background could benefit from more visual interest. The solid red was less overpowering without the eyes. Perhaps making the broken chain into a pattern?

?

I agree with you if I'm right about what you meant. xD The thing that bugged me about the eyes was that they were too "3D," they popped too much, and I wanted all of that focus on Prreta. The background is overwhelmingly red, I'm trying to decide what exactly I should do about it. But the broken chain as a pattern is a good idea...maybe I'll try finagling that somehow. I've also considered just adding more detail to -Prreta,- layering in the shading, defining her lines with more prominence.

Thank you for the useful feedback Candy!

Hey look it's Asmo!

Who's totally shirtless because of all the scars and not because it's a blatant fanservice image!

Pls no ban for moobs.

Admittedly this one is at least partially a gag. Gova kept mentioning his character in a loincloth, so I decided to draw it. :P

Volki - the "Grumpy Cat" of PlaneShift. ;D — How about some "constructive" criticism?

@ Mariana: Scars are not just dark colored stripes. They are still fleshy and often protrude slightly, even if they may still have a groove in the center when the cuts were deep. I believe they may look a bit more credible when colored with some embossing effect, and either a bit reddish or pale, rather than blackened.

@LigH: thanks! Yeah, I realize the scars have no sway towards realism and look sloppy. These are really more sketches than anything though, so long as they come across as scars  I'm comtent.  ;D

@Demagul: I can certainly give it a go!
