	So, are you going to trace it? I love the original art. I can't wait to see how you'll shade it. The asymmetrical swords bother me, but otherwise it's good.

	Thanks for the views, guys. I don't undertand so much why the base colors was too bad (because my english knowledge)... but let's go foward! Edited by Paulo Peres - 09 November 2008 at 9:16am

	Still, the colors are a bit too saturated/bright imo.

	Hey Paulo, I agree with the comments on your colour palette. More than anything, there isn't much variation! Sure brightness and saturation are important, but the shades are all the same hue. Without hue, you'll have trouble for example, making skin tones look anything but pale, so don't forget it! You should also try using blues and subtle shades of purple together or if you want to make gold, use shades of yellows and oranges. Just treat it like a palette in real life...you're going to have to mix things together to get exactly what you want out of it! Besides that, the lineart isn't as sharp as it could be in places, there are still some instances of double pixeling which could've been avoided quite easily. I also think you lost some of the original drawing along the way, particularly the woman's face and the handles on her sword. In terms of shading, you should use a rounded brush to show the curves of her thighs etc and then just remove the extra pixels. Here's an edit for you: Edited by Ravey - 10 November 2008 at 11:58pm

	*Originally posted by Fatalis67* Still, the colors are a bit too saturated/bright imo. Ok... I think I find the problem, is the monitor in my home. I see the image in the monitors in my job (it's better calibrated) and there, the image it's very bright too... I gonna try a modification. *Originally posted by Ravey* Hey Paulo, I agree with the comments on your colour palette. More than anything, there isn't much variation!

As I say to Fatalis67 I will try a alteration in the colors in my monitor's job. Let's see what happen. But about of the hue choice of the colors... I think this is relative, my intention was really a predominance of a red tones for this character, because I feel this colors combinated with the personality of the her. Before choose the reds I maked the experience of more colors for the clothes and hair, but nothing was too good like the red and derivatives, for me. Ah! The lineart need be more worked better indeed, there is much work on it yet!

It might even look good if you used the same shades of red for the entire suit and you would even save a few colours that way too. Sometimes variation can be good too...maybe try a shade of purple with a red highlight? Anyways i'll keep an eye on this topic if you get around to posting a new version.

	I like it, but...the colours seem to bother me a bit. On the body suite it doesn't look like the colours contrast that much or define a specific movement well enough.
