This is a work in progress of a friends character, Titania using a magic called Gate. using this she can superheat something to its maximum heat. (here is a cannonball, hope you can tell >.< )- OK this is the fixed version of it! I am glad and thank everyone for there views and critiques. I tried to fix everything and I think it looks a lot better so thank you all! please enjoy (and I am still open to critiques!)

That is pretty sweet! I love the sense of warmth and texture to this.
Also, that gate magic is badass.

I love the circlet/spell/trancy thing encircling the actual cannonball. Did you do that freehand? (As opposed to find it somewhere)

I had to do a lot of it free hand, but I graded the base from some tools I downloaded.

Wondeful job !

Great job keep it on !

First of all, this is great. Real dynamic pose and a solid composition, and beautifully painted.
Since you asked....I'd do a couple of things, though. Stronger highlights, particularly around the muzzle of the cannon, her face, hair, and shoulder. Some extra scatter coming out of the muzzle might help, too.
Next, the spell effect is too opaque: if I didn't read the description, I'd have thought it was some kind of shield or exploding umbrella. I'd make it transparent and glowing (not too difficult to do if it's on its own layer in Photoshop...)
Finally, the cannonball doesn't look like it's moving. Make sure you've got some sort of speed trail on it, and don't get too into the surface detail on the ball itself: such details will detract from the sense of movement.
Again, this painting kicks ass and I look forward to seeing where you take it.

This is really cool, I love the perspective!

This looks awesome! Love the concept.
I'd think her expression would be even more intense if her eyes were brighter and stood out more.
Maybe the cannon ball would be more recognizable if it had big pock marks/dents.

ok eyes, and dents in the cannonball, I will defiantly try that. Thanks for the critique!

Really awesome piece.
It looks pretty much done.
the only think I would like to suggest is to darken the background to make Titania stand out more
i would also decrease the intensity of the rock below, they are a little distracting
Your very talented, good luck.

I will try that, thank you for the suggestion!
