FANART : Panzer Dragoon Orta

[maya_a]

Hello fellow artists. :)

I'm trying to get more of an illustrative feeling to my art, but coloring is damn hard while maintaining style. :-T
I never took any painting classes, so I'm having a hard time putting in details without flattening everything out. How does that all work?

Crits, rants, and suggestions needed!

Awesome work, but as one suggestion..
If you can, try to make the girls head really stand out more..it took me a little bit to figure out the different forms and realize what exactly I was looking at..

Hey Amphex thanks for the reply. :)

Can you be more specific about what's not clear about the head?
Does it blend in with her arm? Or are the details in the head not clear? Is the hair confusing?
