Is this any better?
The orb she's holding is from the Spell Breaker skillicon, but I'm going to change it into a staff and lower the arm a bit I think. Orb seems too random

Tried exagerating a bit, but I guess it was a bit too much

I think that looks much better.
And I like the Spellbreaker orb :P

Hmm, if you maybe draw the orb smaller, but floating above her hand with some light effect from it, wouldn't that be better?
Also, I think her breasts look huge for a small monky like that.

Heh, yeah I slimmed her boobs a bit, I always tend to make them too big. I really have no idea why *puppy eyes*
And nothing is stopping you Gemini!

Ok quit the previous monk because skin color turned out to be wrong Too lazy to change it so I started over. New wip:
Bad idea: use myself as ref for a girl. Slimmed her waist down 10 times and still too broad xd Its nice to finaly render a face again, missed it.

I don't think the problem is her waist, it's her upper body/rib cage area. The waist is fine, but right now she lacks ribs. Remember that the chest curves out from the waist, instead of being straight as a pole all the way to the neck.
Her shoulders are good though.
You just need to widen the ribcage area, and then leave the waist how it is.
I love love LOVE how you did her face. She looks cute as a button! The skintones are great too, I couldn't stop staring at the lovely smoothness of the skin.

A little better, but it could curve more.
Something like this?
The boobs can be smaller though - just remove the booblines I drew, but keep the general width the same or something. Just because she's got less boobs doesn't mean she's got less ribs. It's hard to do smaller boobs though, because finding the right size for the upper body (without it looking too thin or manly) is difficult.
And yes, buttons are super cute! <3 They're so small, and round, and usually colourful. :3

That has got to be the most adorable monk face I've ever seen so far!

Remember I am not an artist, so I am asking this out of curiosity..
Does it matter? After all real people are always not totally symmetrical or is it a bit too much to be realistic?

Good catch Charlie. I'll see and fix that. Also still need to find a way to make her eyes look less scary
And Aero, it doesn't matter when intended I guess. Though its not really intended. When it comes to gaming characters I have a certain perspective of doing it 2 ways: Either realism and giving them flaws and character or a different style and try to make 'm look smooth and perfect. Ofcourse there are all sorts of combinations, but if I draw game characters I oftenly try to make them look 'perfect'. If I do things for friends or something then charicature all the way xd So depends on what you try to acchieve I think.

For a picture like this, it comes off that the monk is supposed to have a rather idealized face. So that means she'd have a fairly symmetrical face - unless whoever commissioned this says otherwise in regards to facial features/structure.
The main reason I pointed it out though is because her entire face is pretty symmetrical and even. But that right nostril of hers really comes off a lot bigger in comparison, and throws off the balance of her face.
IMO, it's easier including non-perfect features onto a study that's exclusive to the face. That way, you can really accentuate ALL the imperfections of the face without it simply coming off as disproportionate because of one purposeful imperfection.
Now that I think about it, I feel it's almost a natural tendency to sort of idealize the faces on figure drawings in regards to their proportions. It's not until we do portrait studies where things like wrinkles, crooked nose, moles, and other imperfections are really included.
EDIT Or he could just increase the size of the smaller nostril to match the larger. That could work too.

Thought I share it with my fellow smudgers.

Lookin' good - liking the darkness of her roots in comparison to the rest of her hair. Are you using that new brush you just posted on this WIP?
InfestedHydralisk
Looks very good, very nice work on the face, and great detail on the hair.
Nian
Whoa I looove her face! She is soo cute. You're awesome Tommy's. <3
Sorry I don't check in here too often recently wah. I just love that expression. It's exactly like I would imagine her, a little goofy. :'D

I used that brush partly. I did most of the hair withone of those ps-standard hard edge brushes, then locked the layer and added shading on the hair with a rough edged brush, unlocked the layer and started smudging with the brush posted above at a bit of a big size, then continued smudging at a higher strenght and smaller brush for some small strands of hair. I really like the brush though, if you use it on a bigger size you notice you get a 'real brush' look, imo better then those realistic brushes adobe added in PS CS5.
And glad to hear you like it Nian <3 And thnx IH :3
Edit
Oh also had this lying around, party is now already over so I figure I could upload it. Text is in dutch so a few you will understand what it says, though its not really interesting xd I know have it printed on poster on A1 size, think I'm gonna put it in my room ;3
Please full-view on dA.

Nian gave me a freecard to make a true genuine Tommy-armor design ^^ So I'm gonna have a go at a sort of skirt with labyrinth mixture, a bit of a monk/rit combo Still need to think it around a bit, here is a start of it.
Still debating if I want to make her head a bit smaller, its her head that makes her look cute, smalling it make her chest look a lot broader.

OMGWOW ;o ; ... So pretties..
InfestedHydralisk
Yeah, her head does look quite big compared to her arms and stuff. It doesn't have to be THAT much smaller, just a little bit in my oppinion.
Nian
Oohh still lovely <3 Oh I kind of like the large head, it's cute like you said. She seems that way ingame too because of the giant hair buns. :P
Tommy's
Some more progress. Added some ambient light, made her head a bit smaller after all, some small changes to the body aswell, think it looks a bit more balanced now. As for the armor, I still don't know what I'm gonna do, must say I'm really liking this very simple pover wrapping, really something a Monk could wear Meh, I'll have to think things over. Hopefully I can finish the hands and spellcasting animation tomorrow.

The head looks better proportioned now.
However, now she looks a little thin in the arms... and her shoulders might be too broad. But that might just be me.
it looks really nice so far though, the detail in the face is amazing!

Funny thing is I slimmed her shoulders down from the previous, just because I made her arms thinner aswell she looks broad. What proportions can do.. I must disagree that she looks too broad, if it wasn't for the fact that her right shoulder is longer, so it might be that, I already made sort of symatrical again. So in my current photoshop version I think she looks correct . Thnx for pointing it out though :3

Head looks better now. I think her arms look too thin though.
Ravenhawk
Proportion of the head does look a lot better. She's so cute, I want to pinch her cheeks!
And yeah, arm could be a little less thin but it looks good as it is to me either way
