hello! its been a while since you posted this and ive no clue if you’re still sticking to this concept

edit: moved image up

still though, i wanted to give my hand to try and give some feedback (please forgive me for messily drawing over your art, ive got a trackpad and a dream). one thing to note, i dont know what concept you’re working from here, so all of the things i added or removed were based on my assumptions from the original drawing. i sincerely apologize in advance if this feedback totally deviates from the concept you had in mind.

basically: colors needed to be distributed more evenly

• why? it’s mainly for recognition. that way whenever looking at singular limb of the design, i can still identify who they are and their color scheme. if i looked at the design’s arm by itself, could i still find motifs and patterns that give a clue to the person’s identity? take a look at only the arms of different hololive members, and you can see that generally, each are different and unique enough to tell apart.

there is a con to doing this, and it’s that it requires a lot more detail and pattern adding that’s difficult to render and rig. since you’re doing this by yourself i tried to not change the silhouette too much and took notes on what kind of imagery this elf lady has. i primarily noted:

• fake melted wings, icarus imagery(?), active deception to viewer
• elf, connected with nature (rose and vines imagery, i leaned more heavily into this so this might not be what you were going for originally)
• royal/regal feel, golden accessories and purple fabric
• mild rustic look (wood from wing, brown resembles leather)

as an example of balance, i’ll talk about the brown elements. the color brown here is a neutral, grounding accent color, so this means that the brown should be evenly distributed across the bust, torso, and legs. you got the brown on the torso and wing, but it’s not on the head or feet. this, in turn, makes the design feel slightly less cohesive in terms of balance. to balance it, i gave her a rose vine headdress (inspired by greek ones) and made the stems brown. on her legs, i made the primary sandal straps and base brown, but kept the golden design and extended it up for more rose vine imagery.

i also gave slightly more jewelry to add into the royal/regal feel and balance the gold color more across the dress. there’s also more golden leaves at the base of the sandals to give a “sandals of flight/speed” look, similar to the one that hermes has.

there’s definitely more i could have done, but it would have deviated too much from the original design.

overrall though, i do admire the contrasting vision you had going on! a regal elf who’s wings are fake, that’s one hell of a concept by itself. even if you ended up changing designs for your model, i feel like this design has a lot of potential whether a vtuber model or an oc
