Meli's Finished *or so she thinks*Art Thread

[Meli Hitchcock]

Right, so I've held off ever putting anything in here, but I'm being brave and starting a thread.

Anyway, the first image is a piece I did for deviant arts Wacom Good Vs Evil: Bring your vision to life contest. Just finished this last night, or rather early this morning. :B

The second image I did a month and a half ago roughly. I wanted to go color with that one but was having difficulty with my values so I ended up desaturating the whole thing, working primarily in black and white with the full intention of color at the end. However by the time I hit that stage, I grew fond of the B&W version.

The first image is just great. The idea comes off nicely and the comp is great. Demon fighting nuns that look like they're ready to kick some butt.

Ah ah, I very like the "sisters act" in the first image..nice!

What bothers me in the first image are the nuns' clothes, that look too stiff and plastic-like, even if this was not meant to be a iper-realistic piece... Try to work a bit more on the garments and you'll improve so much a piece that is already good. The demons are missing some highlights here and there, and more yellow reflected on them.
Just a few touch ups !

Those monsters in the first piece turned out great!

Somewhat off-topic but didn't the Wacom contest's deadline end last week?

Good point! Thank you for the crit! I've definitely got a lot more practice to do regarding a looooot of things.
