oh thats pretty awesome :D

Thanks, glad you think so.

I say, she looks good with that figure. :3

Nice work. I like the detail.

Oh? Thanks, glad you approve then.

OH SHI- SHE'S CASTING THE INSTANT DEATH SPELL! RUN FOR YOUR LI- wait a minute...
*takes out a die and rolls it.* Come on, baby, anything but a 4! I need to live to see tomorrow, ANYTHING BUT A 4!

Geez, Tirae looks like a completely different character in this pic! And not for the worse; I'd forgotten that you can draw slim figures real well!
Now then, onto the amateur critique! One of her hair wisps seems to have got caught in the trees; it gives it a transperant, washed-out color; perhaps you missed it because of the overall canvas? Her get-up is nice and the shading went real well considering the size you had to work with. Looking at her right arm, just below the gold circlet, (near the elbow,) the curve seems to be just a bit too accentuated for the forearm's position. You might want to prevent such an inward curve in later figures when working at this size.

Other than that, there's really not else that went wrong. Other than the water effects, (which look fantastic BTW,) I'd say that her hair sells the pic. That and her overall frame. I'm not dissing your roster (Really, your large ladies are awesome,) but you might want to bring out a thinner frame every now-and-then. You know, to bring in some variety to the gallery.

Great job overall. (IMO, the water could double as a plasma of sorts.)

Yeah, I plan to draw the characters that have weight gain based stories at different sizes in the future. So I'm sure you'll be seeing more of thin Tirae sooner or later. Also, I have drawn a thinner character within every ten submissions I've posted here for a long while, so I've been working on that for a while now.

As for the hair, I must have missed it during everything, and the armband is probably something I'll let slide this time.

But thanks, glad you like it.

No prob man; thank YOU for taking the time for answering back to my little nitpicks. (And for tolerating them!)

what a effects and good pose you done nicely work here

Thanks, glad you like it then.

<3

Epic.

Hehheh, thanks.

You're welcome. =3

Absolutely splendid, but I don't understand how casting spells can link to growing larger if I'm quite honest. Great pick all the same

The short version would be that this kind of magic's "cost" for using it is not a loss of spiritual energy, mana, life force, etc etc, but rather that one can essentially do any spell they want. However, using this magic reflects back at the caster by turning them into a physical representation for their gluttony for power. It's sort of like those kinds of magic that make an evil person look more evil and heroic person look more divine. Well Tirae just wants power, morally neutral outside of that, so she looks/gets more gluttonous for it as she uses it as a result.

But anyway, that's the blunt version, but hope that helps clear some things up. Anyway, glad you like the picture though. Thanks.

Makes sense I suppose, peculiar idea but an understandable one nonetheless

Oh?

Oh, what?

Well, you said you suppose, wasn't sure if there was a lose end I might have been able to clear up.

No, I understand it perfectly, I just think that the plot and mythology is flawed but then, your chosen style doesn't really demand such things so I wouldn't worry about it

It is? Interesting, do tell.

Well, one can never truly be neutral whilst acting without moral guidance. For example: if she needed to murder an innocent man in order to gain power then obviously the moral choice would be to let him live and not gain said power and the immoral choice would be to kill him and bear the rewards. When acting without moral guidance, the immoral choice is almost always made hence making her amoral, which is often judged as being another form of immorality.

See what I mean? Also, in mainstream fantasy, this character would probably last quite well as a villainous antagonistic character, due to the amoral glutony based concept.

But (getting back to my first point) seeing as though the vast majority of things in your gallery are plotless single images that do not require deep involving characters, it doesn't matter too much unless you've suddenly decided to go under a radical change and start doing something completely different.

Yeah, healthy or constructive criticism is fine with me. As long as it's respectful I'll try to hear someone out.

Ok, so in response to your comment, I have several points in rebuttal.
-Granted, it is certainly hard to be neutral without some sort of grasp on good ad evil. One cannot say what is good without knowing what is bad and vice versa. You still have to be careful. I say this because morality tends to be subjective. Many people that are seen as evil in one culture are seen as heroes in another. As such, neutrality by definition should to be amoral. By being amoral, subjective ideals and concepts of good and evil are no longer relevant. Ideally, neutrality is cross cultural and universal. This leads me to disagree with your comment about immoral choices being the default option people without moral guidance would take. Now, without getting into human nature (or "anthro" nature I suppose hehheh) I would argue that true neutrality uses enlightened thinking, rationalism, or logic to make decisions. It might be a very cold sort of thinking, but an educated opinion nonetheless. People without moral guidance do not have to be neutral either. Just because one does not know if the action they take is immoral doesn't make the action itself is free from judgment. And just to clarify, I see amoral as being outside of morality, and immoral as in violation or against morality.
-However, I never said she does not have a conscience. She does know what it is to be good and bad, she simply steps away from the two as much as she can. Her "moral guidance" in this sense would just be an orientation device, telling her which way is moral, and which is immoral and then trying to avoid both. She typically does that be keeping to herself. She's not really a people person. So she would be very unlikely to come across a situation that would require her to kill someone for power.
- As for mainstream fantasy, I typically try not to let other "universes" really step into my characters. Sometimes I think it is better to actually take what someone expects of a character, and have the character do something different. So yes, someone that is gluttonous and amoral might possibly make a good villain, but that doesn't mean she is prone to being one. It just means people might expect her to become one.

I should also make the point that while my submissions are lacking in any sort of plot depth. I do have a rather extensive story lined up for most of my characters. I just have yet to find the means to really articulate these stories appropriately. I plan to make a comic or something similar in the future however.

Interesting points, I'd get into a philosophical debate with you about morality and amorality but it's a little too late at night for me

Also, I'd very much like to see you make a comic of sorts, I know you can draw and it'll be interesting to see how you write :D

ps. Good to see you're welcome to criticism though
