Not too sure how much progress we have to post but here's my outline sketch so far

Mohamed Saad · Oct 2014

good job , keep an eye on the anatomy later on

awied18 · Oct 2014

Finished outline fully now to start coloring

KemoPaw · Oct 2014

Looks nice, but the pictures right wing seems to be set higher than the other. I would suggest using a show grid if possible :P

AdrenalineAngel · Oct 2014

I love her face so far

I would watch that hand on the viewer's right though, it looks like it may be bending a strange way.

Wanted to say thanks to everyone who has commented with constructive criticism its really helpful so thanks guys!

Try to do a double check on her legs, even if the perspective is right, the legs looks too short. Maybe change the angle of the spread a little? This shot can get a lot of benefit from the skirt forms.

Did the base color and gonna call it a night and play some league (if anyone on NA wants to add me I'm CosmicRobot btw)

Pierson3d · Oct 2014

So far so good, my only thought is that symmetry isn't represented in any of the splash art I've seen. They tend to have a dynamic diagonal slashing compositions.

RedDawnWalker · Oct 2014

You may want to consider making the fingers a little more realistic in the amount of joints they have. it may just be the base color but it looks like they only have one joint per finger instead of two.

also, give the shoulders more of an angle. the shoulder of the arm on the ground would be at a lower point than the one of the arm that is up and will help it to feel more dynamic.

Neebler · Oct 2014

Not a bad start. You've already gotten some good feedback from these guys.

A quick anatomy point that jumps out at me right away. Her left hand (the one on the right side) is at a very strange angle in relation to her wrist. I believe that we would see more of her palm, and that it should be pointing in the same direction as her forearm. currently it looks like her wrist has been severely damaged.

Additionally, you should really try experimenting with the composition of this more. While it's not a bad start at all, having your primary subject basically in the exact center of the page isn't a very dynamic shot. As Pierson3d pointed out, there aren't really any character splashes with that sort of set up.

I recommend looking through Morgana's newer splashes, especially her default skin picture. Maybe that will give you some cool composition ideas, as well as some anatomical reference.

Hope this helps, best of luck!

So was looking at everyone's feedback and decided to do a new pose sketch while in class
What do you guys think? More dynamic?

RedDawnWalker · Oct 2014

Definitely a much more dynamic angle. Try also pushing the pose a little more, and adding secondary movement to the hair and clothes since she's lunging forward. it will help it look like there is more movement to her action.

Adam Chilton · Oct 2014

I prefer your original. You could make the original more dynamic, by using the wings, making them less symmetrical, and also lighting will play a big factor in determining how the scene feels.

AdrenalineAngel · Oct 2014

I agree the angle is much more dynamic! If you want that Splash Art look I would extend the cavas to the left to include her whole wing and a little to the right.

awied18 · Oct 2014

Got some base colors down and more detail background not really set in stone cause I'm trying to think it up cause backgrounds are my weak point

AdrenalineAngel · Oct 2014

Awesome! I might move the ball a little left and make it larger, like its really coming out at the viewer!

Good work so far.

awied18 · Oct 2014

Did some experimenting with the background and finished up coloring the eye and some of the hair
