Useful critiques only please.

There is nothing wrong with the WP but the BG is a little too plain for me....I do see some strokes of faint line nehind the BG but thats all....so all I gotta to say is maybe if u work a bit on the BG?....other then that the whole WP looks good!!

[Xian Pu]

I say that A)Rei stands out too much from the BG cause she's a bit grainier than it B)that you could bring the BG forward a bit in the brightness scale.


All in all so far so good.

[MuZ0NaZ]

Firstly, as Xian said, raise the brightness, it's really hard to judge anything when I can barely see the bg.

[Princess Minako]

ok brightened it for you picky peeps :P <3

[Xian Pu]

MUCH better. ;) However, there are a few extraction errors around her arm and the BG is still a bit... lacking. I can't put my finger on what it needs, but there is an air of SOMETHING missing. Other than that, you're almost there.

[Princess Minako]

I also feel that the BG is lacking SOMETHING, but I can't figure out what...

Thats why I came to you guys. :P

P.S. where on her arm, I keep looking but I can't see it ;_;

[Kurumirina]

hmm....I think Xian Pu means the arm that is facing down....it kinda looks a little too long....O_o.....and the other arm....well elbow...kinda looks a little too pointy....o_O...well that is my opinion....

In general she stands out well against the background, but the darker parts of her chair and her costume (most notably, under her right arm) blend into the background too much.

Try maybe raising the brightness of the background some more, while at the same time playing with the saturation? I think the saturation of the background doesn't match that of the character; maybe you need to lower the background's saturation.

Or, try using a dark green background instead? Something of the same general hue of the green areas under her breasts, but a bit darker.

original picture... I didn't extract her other arm at all, and her elbow was originally that pointy. Altho what I did do was add her knee caps.

[poppy]

in yours the background around her is too big it might be making her look a bit weird
its too plain to be that big

[Razor Clarence]

her elbow was originally that pointy.
Well, you could try to remake that pointy elbow if you like. Either that or you could try change its position.
