Eya, this is one of my first finished color pieces I think and would like to get some crits on how to improve. Also posted it in FF some days ago but got no responses there, so I'm hoping I could get some good pointers here

Both of your characters are sexually ambiguous. Yes, they have breasts, but their faces aren't particularly feminine, and they have broad shoulders, muscular arms, and massive hands.

Perhaps look up some ref for their feet, the painting looks rather unbalanced because most of the bottom part is blurred off.

shemale extravaganza?:}

- faces are not very femine
- hands and arms too muscular and big for a ordinary girls
- If you want to draw more muscular girls /like amazon warriors/ you should study the figure of female athletes - fitness models etc, some bodybuilders. But chose carefully, some of the bodybuilders arent very.... ehm... femine looking:-)
- if you draw this kind of dominant/submisive pose - you should chose if the submissive figure should be really submissive or to shown some signs of defiance. Your character seems to enjoy her submissive position (she has hand on thight of the second character) but in her face is some kind of fear or something. Or she fears something/somebody different that her mistress?

Thanks for the crits :)

I have been drawing way to many males in the past, and that shows I think :)

For the elf I actually wanted her to look a bit manly, since the females of the night elf race are warriors generally. For the human girl, totally not, but it did slip in there I guess :)

These are actually the observations I wanted. I aimed to show an inner conflict in the human female, by having her face tell a different story then her gesture. Not sure if it is the right way though
