Originally I was imitating Syosa for the weekly challenge with this piece. His work is really inspiring and I wanted to see what I could learn from it, but as I worked on it I found I couldn't help but make it more my own. It's funny what you can learn about your own preferences by trying to copy someone else. I still learned a lot and I think looking at Syosa's art helped push me in a direction I wouldn't normally have explored.

I'm still not sure how I feel about doing this much anti-aliasing. I go by feel a lot as far as things like aliasing and outline colours go, I'm not a machine and I don't like to make art like one, but I could probably refine my approach.

 

March 29: Updated proportions a bit

I'm tentatively calling this done but I assume there will be corrections I will want to make later, critique is welcome!

Perfect emulation for clothes style!

Actually I think what I did wrong was make her thighs way too long

I drew over the figure and the upper arms and thighs seem to be the problem. I'm going to make an edit.

She seems to be a little pale (like she's wearing a white mask). I know it's the same base as her arms, but her face might need a bit more color.

Her arms look a little simetric, but I really enjoy her pose and expression.

Nice work.

Nice attempt, it is funny to see his clothes and colors in a piece that is yet so different! As stated before... oh nevermind, it is good anyway!

 May just be me, but she appears rather cross-eyed. 

edit: I don't think the torso is too long, if you look at where the waistband is, the proportions seem about right. I think the problem is that the head is way too small.

As said, the torso is too long, but you may be pleased to know that when I saw the preview, I totally forgot about the challenge and thought it was Syosa posting. Good work!

Nice colors!

 You've done a decent job figuring out how Syosa makes his palettes work. Also, I've seen enough Syosa imitations to know that it's not as simple of a style as he makes it look, so I get the impression that these personal changes you've made may have saved the piece. So, aside from the one glaring problem that everyone's already poked holes in, this looks like a job well done.

Her torso needs some significant shortenning. Otherwise this is very nice and captures Syosa's style reasonably well.

AA seems fine to me, and it's clear you're copying Syosa.

She seems a little  s t r e t c h e d , though.
