knight fencer whatever a girl with a sword

Just started working on the lines. Two problems I know of: the right arm is in an awkward position; the legs are uneven in width.

Critique is very welcome! I particularly would like some help with the draping of the cape/cloak/whatever you call it behind her. I've seen a few of the...anime-influenced (as I would like to call it) artists flip out when they get critique here :} Rest assured I am not one of them. If you think it will help, feel free to take a jab at my style!

Looks nice. Reminds me of an RPG character. I can almost see her casting heal spells. Cape looks good, can't say I'd do anything different.

Nothing wrong with you style. I think concept art should be clean and simple so the main idea is simple to understand and give whoever it's going to be passed on to some freedom.

One thing that immedeately occured to me is that the way her thighs are shaped makes it seem like she has a very big crotch. You should make the inner curve somewhat larger wich should help on the general lookout of her legs.

As for the cape... I don't know much about cloth dynamics but I think that maybe it shouldn't be so folded in the middle as it hangs directly down from her shoulders without much to interfere with it. I'm a bit uncertain about this however so someone wiser than me feel free to correct. :P

Thanks for the input! Yeah I'm growing more and more displeased with the legs. I'm probably going to redraw them. Along with what you said, I think the entire legs are making her unbalanced and should be positioned more like they are in the tiny sketch. I'm hating the shape of her boots to -- I'm just not good at feet/shoes lol so I'm going to dig through my images to find some references.

I redrew the legs and repositioned the right arm. Although I'm still not completely satisfied with the legs, this is probably as good as I'll be able to get them :rolleyes:

So cute :)
She looks better now, but you have to consider that she's concentrating her weight over her left leg, so, this leg must to be straight.
Please continue is coming along nicely.
