I recognised that this was from you from the preview c: Nice movement!
This is a gorgeous piece! The leaves and pose are really clever, and I love the colors. The hair and ruffles are excellent, and I like the shading on the legs a lot. I adore the little bow on the ribbon around her middle. I do have some crits though that hopefully make sense!
Her legs seem a little thin. I guess body types vary plenty, but if you compare your forearm to your leg, the entire leg is pretty much thicker than your arm at any point (for mine at least - maybe I have big legs?) but her leg is still as thin or thinner than the arm at some points (mostly looking at the viewer's right leg and its ankle here). The legs also seem a little long, but maybe that's just a consequence of the dress being empire-waisted and throwing off my sense of proportions.
The hand seems a little weird, too. I wish I could be more specific than this, but it seems to me to be mostly related to the palm (not a lot of definition), the thumb (kind of looks like it's bending in a weird direction), and the fingers (too short - compare the length of the pinky to the pointer).
Her neck is a little weird with how her head is leaning forward but her neck isn't really following it. It's hard to really describe this without a reference, so here's the closest one I could find:
You can see how it's sort of jutting forward along with her head. There's also this which is a bit closer- it's not jutting out as much but you can see that it's a bit straighter. I'm not sure if we would see more of her collarbone or shoulder from this position or not? Her other shoulder also looks a small but maybe it's a trick of perspective making her shoulders look too small for her head.
Anyway, that's all. They're a little nitpicky, but they stood out to me. Great piece!
When I was sketching this out a few weeks ago, I just remember knowing that I wanted the work to have a really flowy looking dress. I didn't think of the dress as a summer dress while working on it.
It has a nice fall feeling to it with the orange colors but why would she be wearing a summer dress? Great pixeling!
The piece is very good but the preview is weak I must say. The leaves are the strongest part so maybe you should include them in the preview (and make it larger).
