The main problems I see are that you have a lot of saturation. See the FAQ for info on what that is.

The other major problem is that your aa is very broken. I think this tutorial would do you worlds of good.

One last thing: I'm not really an expert on anatomy, but the cloth covering her abdominal area as a contour that implies she has something most women don't have down there.

There is no AA at all. And She is a she and when your legs have fat on them and they are together things can't move, such as cloth. That is why its away from Her body like that. I checked the FAQ for whatever you ment about saturation, there was nothing in there about it. I suppose the palette is too bright... but I really don't understand why the color is an issue? I understand if I should try and use less colors maybe.

Color is what brings a peice to life! It is very important, and have a great impact on your final product. Choose colors wisely, and try to stay away from anything near the two ends of the color selection chart.

The trasition from the ribs to the pear shaped hootsnatch looks odd. Perhaps you could make her less pear shaped?

The face/flesh areas are good. I can see where perhaps a mod felt that the blue areas are weakly colored and a bit unrefined.

You have a lot of gradient-like shading going on, e.g. the scarf. I'd try to avoid shading as gradients unless you're doing backgrounds.

original->

Okay so I re-worked the palette and used less colors, and I changed the way I shaded the skirt (not scarf). I used 17 colors, yes I know thats allot. But I have two different colors in Her outfit, Her hair Her skin eyes and lips (shame color). I have four colors for everything but Her leggin thingys, only three there. Another thing is I still haven't done any BG and it will be colors taken from Her outfit or hair, I'm not going to add anymore to the colors.

almost forgot, the reason for Her shape

also its an odd angle

TBH i liked the way the skirt was shaded before was much better... now it is pillow shaded. i cant see much reason why they wouldnt allow this peice to be submited compared to some of the other peices that have!, maybe tone down the brightness of the blues a bit

I like shiny things, i do indeed.

I did tone down the blues a bit, took away some of the lighter shades. I don't know if you can tell though =P. I really liked the way the skirt was shaded before also but whatever. I couldn't really understand it either, I mean I know its not the best or anything but I still couldn't understand >,<; I suppose I'll try and make a BG then show y'all then see if it can go into my gallery.
