i'd say that the cat needs more work done on it. it's body is way too stretched out and the lil broom seems to be sticking from its neck, not in its mouth (unless that's how it's intended to be). both figures tend to be kinda static, what could be cool is if the cat is curving its back up like it was in a rage or something, just a thought. other than that i think the chick looks good. just more focus on the cat :)

Nice.

I think it's a bit bright for the subject matter, the clouds and apricot colour doesn't help the mood of the piece.

The cat looks a bit too stylised and a bit stiff. But it's meant to be some sort of robot cat, is that right? It has more of a daschund's body at the moment.

Also if you follow the line of the woman's shoulders, her neck ends up being way too long.


The face and the hat however, are well done.:)

This seems like a very cute little witch. Like something out of Harry Potter:)

Nothing wrong for me here.
It looks brilliant, I like it!

Looks good.

The background doesn't seem to fit. I guess you were experimenting with Painter8?

I found it fun to go through all the brushes, but hated the layout! Why oh why did they have to change the layout! They may as well have called it Photopaintershop. If they're gonna change something like that, they should have the option of reverting back to the old style somehow.. ermm... right.. /stop ramble/

Anyways, the witch looks good, the cat is a little too long. The broom looks far too small for the witch (unless it's for the cat?). Also, I like the rubber look you got with the hat.

Good work.

She looks nice!

I agree on the background though.

Great concept! I really like this piece. I actually like its roughness, with bits that are tighter where it is more important.

Funny, when it was dowloading, I saw just the top with the cat and the pointy hat and I was like: "Oh great, another old, evil-looking wizard wearing a pointy hat!" Then I saw the rest and I was pleasantly surprised.

Me likey.
