No you're right. It's an amazing drawing, really. Very nice. But damn Will, calm down lol.. I don't think he's gonna lose any sleep tonight because a couple asshats don't rate him a 10 on here :P
Asura: I used Copic Markers on marker paper :) A4 sized. 10hours to color in. The head alone had aboout 7 diff colors in it.
Thanks for the nice comments, been meaning to post this for a while.

Guen: Yes you are right, this pic was rushed as a late gift. 1 only draft done for it^^
I have a lot of other work and work on improving all the time, latest pic NOT ff related tho:
I really love the details on her hair and the wing things. The only thing I notice really as a stand out is that her lower arms and legs seem really gray compared to the rest of her skin. Maybe it's a Garuda thing, but it's kind of distracting!
Overall: your use of color is visually striking and your meticulousness with it strongly shows. Base structure could use a little work and same with proportion. Coming from a professional illustrator I'd say you have some serious potential and I like your style. Just spend some more time on preliminary sketches before you work up to color and your work, as solid as it already is, will improve tenfold. Cheers!
