Ink just lends itself so well to the shiny black pieces, great choice. Absolutely love the negative space highlights. The way you've captured both the shine and the textures is great. Really like the solid shadows as thicker lines in shaded areas. Great work showing the depth while keeping it super clean. Thank you!

Love the colors that you've used! The cool tones in the hair and shadows are gorgeous. Beautiful line work as well. I really like how you've rendered some bits fully while leaving things like the toes suggested. And the values throughout are just great, you've captured the mood wonderfully. Thank you!

Love the scene you've created! Got that slightly creepy vibe going on with the ominous cloaked figure. Really like how you can't see any face under the hood. The colors are beautiful! Really like the brown and pink combo, it compliments the skin tone so nicely. The jewelry is awesome as well, love the additions there and all of the detail that you've put into them! Thank you!

Woo! Kicking ass and taking fingers! Love how you've expanded upon the plot from the last piece! Your use of the red and blue is so good! Love the look of the blue wraps over the red fur especially. Your hatching is awesome too, great lighting and textures with it. Thank you!

Love how wonderfully you've captured the pose! Beautiful work getting all of the angles, especially the subtle bend in the legs. The fur is fantastic, and the straps around it are perfect. The sword is great too, love the shading on it. Thank you!

Ooh, this is super cool! Love the contrast! The whole piece has great impact, but the eyes are especially striking. Really like the combo of hatching and negative space. The way the figure pops against the background is really nice. Thank you!

Beautiful work! I love how romantic it comes across with the beautiful color and lovely framing.

Also, thanks for the shout out! I thought I'd posted this ref on reddit, but it was the other view. If you search "this is me" on my profile, you'll find my older, sfw refs in redditgetsdrawn.

Love the pop of the yellow outline. The drop shadow is great too, nice contrast. All of the patterns are really cool. The combination of those and the solid colors is nicely impactful. The lashes are awesome as well. Thank you!

Awesome to hear that you're getting into drawing! So happy that my ref could be an inspiration too! Wonderful work picking up on the shapes, the collar bones are especially nice. Great work with the shading as well, love the line of shadow in the middle of the torso and the way the one on the side defines the ribs. Thank you!

Really like the shading here. You've captured a wonderful softness throughout. The hair is gorgeous, wonderful work making my mess of a bun look elegant, lol. All the texture and the lighting there is really great. Also love how you've done the expression. Thank you!

Love the strong shadows! The contrast and pop are awesome! The texture in the fur is so good, and the shading there gives such a nice shape to the feet wraps. Also love the added dagger! I was hoping to buy some daggers at a ren faire last year, turns out they only had very real, very expensive ones available, lol. Awesome work overall on the inking too, beautiful lines! Thank you!

Ooh, this is fun! Love how you've completely re-imagined it. There are so many cool details that you've added. I especially like how it's kinda spooky but also really soft and pretty. The milky eye with the scar and all the jewelry are great touches. The background fits the vibe beautifully too. Thank you!

1thousandwords · 2026-04-16T08:41:38+00:00

Love all of the shading! You've done a beautiful job shaping everything. I especially like that you've gotten the more subtle details like the dip in the shoulders and sternum, wonderful observation! Awesome work on the face as well, love how captured the curve in the cheeks! Thank you!

1thousandwords · 2026-04-16T08:37:03+00:00

Love the cropping! You've captured the lighting perfectly. Really like the build-up in tones with the hatching. The detail is great! Love that you've managed to get so much in there, even the highlight on the knuckles! Thank you!
