but it seemed like too much work to fix for little payoff

I think the same every time I make such mistakes, so I wholeheartingly agree .

Awesome lineart and good coloring! I like this style very much.

Definitely the armor shading sucks rock nuts and outer glow is a cheap photoshop move (which I use too ) but the hair texture and the whole lineart are very cool (and you can protect the lack or proper "shading" as a specific style, I'd buy it because the pic is really cool).

P.S. ALso I've noticed that you used a chainmail texture and didn't warp it to follow the shapes. Well, there's a "Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo" anime where they use the same "artistic feature", so I guess it's ok too .

And you inspired me to quickly shade my queen to consider it "finished".

Yeah, consistent shading is something that I'm still pretty inexperienced at. And I only do that glowing edge thing so that the outer black lines are visible against the background (I don't really like white backgrounds all that much). I should proably look into a better way of presenting my art. Also, I did try drawing in the chainmail at first, but it looked pretty bad, so I scrapped it in favour of the quick, lazy texture.

Also, that queen frightens me, somewhat. I really like the shading, though. There's great depth to it.

[Deon]

I've found out that a good way to separate your lineart from a black background is to color your lineart, adding some hue where appropriate (i.e. dark gray where there's a white color on the main pic, brown where it's red etc.) but it takes a lot of time so I rarely do this (although it makes the pic to look better).

P.S. Also I know why she frightens you. Such a huge tube full of scrolls with mandates would frighten anyone .

I think it's the eyes.
They seem to have a cold, lifeless stare.
Similar to a doll.

[Deon]

Well, the answer is simple: magma. It will make them warmer .

I think I know why it creeps me out. It's Them. They're the size of her head.

Which isn't natural.

[Deon]

It is natural for drawn dwarven nobles . I have experience.

 I'm still under the impression that recoloring the mushroom to purple would be for the best.

[Deon]

It's a mushroom's stalk so I don't see why should it be purple.

[Soadreqm]

Deon: Well, they're purple in game. Then again, so are nobles and hammerdwarves.

As it is, the plump helmet looks a lot like meat, but since dwarves eat that too, I don't see how it matters.

Also it doesn't look like a penis. If it does for you (including a BROWN color), well, a weird anatomy is a weird anatomy.

Why are you wasting time justifying your own work? Get back to making blatantly sexualized fantasy creatures!

HEEYA! MUSH!
