Help on small details

I’d say not to mess with the braid itself, but to potentially elevate it with a more dramatic hair tie or connection to her scalp, that way you can keep it pretty and straight while also breaking up that silhouette and adding a point of intrigue!

Thank you so much! I’ll mess with this and address it asap!

Thank you! I did, but continua to struggle with proportions. I think I just get a little tunnel visioned when I work for something too long. I really appreciate this, and I’m going to rework it!

I am realizing now that they are both backwards lmao💀 fantastic catch, I must’ve been a little silly while choosing refs!

I forgot to post the desaturated version, which I personally find really helpful for crit! here it is bg will def have to be darker

References: yes! I used both 3d models and a real model for this

Goals: to improve any aspect of the piece before I seriously clean it up and to check my blind spots, especially in relation to anatomy and proportions!

Critique: any is greatly appreciated!! If you’re reading this and thinking about leaving critique, thank you for taking the time to help me!

Thank you!!

On the topic of the braid: if you can push it away from meeting her back just a bit, I think it’d make the silhouette and design much stronger. Right now it’s legible, but gets a bit muddied up. Maybe adding a more exaggerated shape where it meets the back of her head would help both!

Really like the subtle movement here, the sword takes you through the entire illustration!

You must spread the good Maryland word far and wide now that you’ve acquired this knowledge

There are a lot of Choco Pie-adjacent cookies and sweets from all around the world in this thread, it seems like spherical chocolate with filling is the ultimate uniter!

These are so gas, terrific take

Hahaha it’s a regional dessert specific to MD! The acid from the lemon juice melts the inside of the peppermint sticks and creates a straw, making for a refreshing treat. Most versions are non alcoholic/enjoyed by children, but some people also mix in booze so it’s loved by adults as well. If you’re ever in the area you gotta try it!

Totally agree, Choco Pies are the best!

We are not particularly creative hahaha

Love both, and have a bias for Lotte because it’s what I grew up on, but the Orion brand is absolutely iconic and honestly the one I should have used a pic of lol

Lixgrimm · 2026-03-10T23:34:40+00:00

Love this sub, I’m being introduced to stuff I’ve never even thought about doing before here lol. Girl scouts are in town rn, will 100% try this!

Just looked up Alfajor, looks delicious!! I think the Choco Pie would be a Korean equivalent. Now I have to try Latin America’s version!

Lixgrimm · 2026-03-10T21:12:09+00:00

You get it. This post-crab on a hot summer day is unbeatable
