Description
I'd fly awayto a higher plane
to say words I resist
to float away
to sigh
to breathe..... forget
From Wolf's Rain OST << The.. second CD. Which I happen to like better. : D
I drew this a LONG time ago, found the lines and liked it. I used a reference from some 'how-to' book, so the concept/idea/design/pose is not my own. (If anyone knows where I got this, lemme know << )
The drawing, inking, and coloring are all mine though. : D I had too much fun coloring this. I reaaaally like the way it came out. <3!
EDIT: PLEASE Full View! Or better yet, download it in original size. The preview destroys it! D:

You have commented on several of my works. I have finally had a chance to take a look at your work this evening. I very much like all your work: both finished work and sketches. I'd have to say that "Fly Away" is my favorite, probably because of the "man" within me. I find the art piece sensual because of its fanciful nature, its richness of color, and the overall form and lines of the image.

And I finally get a chance to reply. (: Wow that piece brings back memories. I did that so long ago, before I had a tablet, and now that I have one I feel like I can't draw that well anymore because I need to completely re-learn how to draw.. since drawing with one is so different.

Thank you! I can see a few problems with the pose, but I'm glad you like it anyway. xD I was happy with the way the coloring turned out though. : D

Just caught one more thing. Just above her belly button the markings on her stomach are diffrent from each other. Tis the problem with trying to go perfectly symetrical. Very hard to do with complex designs. Hope I was a help.

Checking in. You've gotten better, least in my eyes. Again I'll say what I see wrong and you can take what you think is right or wrong. Starting from the top, her right hand a bit more definition to it knuckles shadows etc. Right fore arm should be a bit longer Left fore arm Im guessing her hand is pulled back so cant see it but either way the cuff for the arm should still be visible if the arm lengths are to be both the same. Right upper arm, very skinny, even though its the closest one. Definitally needs to be broaded out some, even the same width of the left one would be good. Her ear piece looks to me as though should be underneith her hair if shes got her head turned like that. Back, maybe a shoulder blade? Not sure on that one. Chest, should never use same color as skin to make clothing. As you have already seen will make it look as though shes topless on that side.. If she is then good job. Top stomach, rib cage would be good although I can just faintly see a few lines that look like it might be on her right side. Down to her hips, her right hip looks as though its got too much of a indent for her stomach. Should be an easy fix to smooth that out. Outter thighs, the markings are a bit messed up on the edges the left side is diffrent from the right which just looks like spikes. Ok as for the pose itself only way I could see it being performed is if she was in the air looking down about to throw somthing. All in all it looks good to me. Keep getting better.

Wow, thank you for such a thorough critique. o__o
I forgot about the other side of the shirt, so she IS topless, or half so, anyway. I realized that she needs ribs after I was done... lol As for the rest, they're all valid points, I see what you mean for them all. The pose and whatnot isn't my design, so I don't know if some of the things you pointed out are my own mistakes, or the original's. I'd love a critique like this on something I did from scratch, but thank you so much for this one!

Wow thank you! The background was just a gradient fill, but I WAS proud of the coloring, so I'm really glad you like it so much!
I have to be honest, I haven't watched the anime. O: I just really like the soundtracks. I love the ghost in the shell OST, too. Am I still cool? 8D

lol You spoil me with advanced critiques XD I was hoping you'd do that this time.
My jaw dropped when I seen this lol ITS AWESOME. I love it.... but
The thick inking looks great everywhere except for her body. I think the color you used on it might just be to dark, but then again to lighten it would make it REALLY stand out around her hands. I know it would be a super pain in the ass, but maybe if you had switched the colors in certain places, or just made it thiner while using the darker brown around her waist and face and area? The rest I'm good with, although I'm also a fan of the hair 
OH OH!! and her arm uhhhh... her right arm is so skinny XD Yes. It's evily skinny.
Besides that, and the painful pose, as well as her lack of ribs I love it <3 The design from her waist down is so neat

Yeahhh I need to switch the coloring around a little on the lines. I did that with the hair a little.
WHO NEEDS RIBS. >|
I just forgot about them, honestly. XD
I'm glad you like it! <3! And thank you as always for the crit. xD

I love the hair and the colors. ^^ (The following comments are directed to who ever drew the orginal XD ) The pose is slightly impossible though. ._. And the clothes kind of bug me. -_-;;
