Ok, although someone will rant at me for this, critque time.

This peice is awesome, I love the attention to detail and realistic colouring. The shading is also done really well by a kean eye. Well done on all of that, only slight problems I can really see with it and nothting that really ruins the work, just something maybe to avoid next time is the neck seems a little long. Great work though, when I get my printer working again I am so printing this out :D

I have to agree with Baloki too just because he usually does good critques... :upsidedow

Actually the neck looks like it has a little bit of an adam's apple going on with it...be careful with that!

Otherwise its really good!

>>> Wow, thats very nice..
I wonder about the reference picture, it was from some japanese FF8 manga/doujinshi???
or the picture just came out of your mind??
if you didnt use a reference picture then you have some great manga skills there..

Very nice coloring! I love how you did her eyes. But why does Quistis look so mad ;_;?

Can I post? PLEASE? I wanna say something!! Hehe.

You have a great talent about you, as I've told you before.

Head to toe, or in this case, chest, hehe. For her hair? She's a natural blonde, and you showed this quite nicely. In fact, down to a very minute detail since most females who are blonde have a VERY slight trace of red in their hair. I see you've done that with accent color, which is nice. The detail work on the shading, along with the useage of a light source to fade her hair in certain spots was done nicely. You know that if it were done in a different way, the end result might not look as good. The thing I've noticed that she's lacking dealing with her hair, is a clip to hold up the top part. She has a black one, I think, and it's missing from your picture. I only say this because it seems kinda hard for hair to naturally do that without some sort of manual help involved. Thing I've noticed too, which is cute enough to mention, is that the specific area in question looks like the crest on a chocobo's head. Have you noticed that?

Going from her hair to her head and face in general, it's a change. She has a nicely shaped head, but when it comes to the face, it's a little off. Doing this to be nitpicky obviously, but you did ask for comments and constructive criticism, so you're receiving it. She has no shape or contour in her face aroundher right eye. I saw this the first time and didn't really notice it, but when I looked at it closer, I noticed something was off. It's a small detail, but her eye seems to just melt into her right side of her face, which is kinda off to me. She has BEAUTIFUL blue eyes, and it's an improvement on what I've asked of you before (The direction of eyeshot, if that was you I talked to about it last). The details on her eyelids, her eyebrows, her face in general in that aspect are very nicely done. She has a cute nose, and to be honest, that looks great. I've seen some nose drawings before, but this one is good. Her lips are a little odd to me. It looks like she was in some sort of fight because her bottom lip is swollen compaired to her top one, or lack thereof. That looks weird now that I think of it. Her size is off. The lighting effect is nice on her bottom lip though, but she doesn't have an edge to it, making it look like it's missing, somewhat. Nothing to say about the chin or ear.

Her neck is something that I'll leave alone, since most everyone has said something about the Adam's Apple. My bone with that though, is that she has no neck in the back. The lighting effect took away her neck! o.O;; She also has no definition from her chin to her neck, which is kinda weird. Oh, that, AND her neck is too long, sorry.

Her SeeD uniform is AWESOME. Thing is, she looks too small in it. Need to fill her out more in it, otherwise she looks like a child. The way her right side is drawn makes the uniform seem distorted. Her right shoulder is bigger than her left. If she's facing off to the left (Viewer's right, as in the picture) her right shoulder should be smaller than her left, otherwise it looks like a conflict of proportion. To be nitpicky again, hehe (Sorry), the humps on the shoulder blades (Connecting the blue shoulders to the outer black sleeves) look like the uniform was sewn badly. Nothing else to say about the uniform, except that the SeeD emblem is fantastic. Love the work.

Again, with every nitpick comes admiration. I can't draw worth a crap, but I make a better critic. As I said many times before, you truly do have talent, and I envy you.

That's beautiful. The hair is awesome and I jus love the way you colored everything. You're like a major talent.
Though the neck is a bit long but it doesn't matter cos everything else is perfect.

I think it is extremely awesome!!! Squall and Rinoa - I have to disagree with your comment on her neck and the fading of the color all together. The intended line is created in your mind as you let the color completely disappear. It's a way to extremely exaggerate the lightness there in comparision with the rest of your picture. It's a trick I was DRILLED ( much blood spilt ) to learn while in my AP art class. I think it was portrayed very well here.

The coloring is wonderful and I adore the jacket. Nice work!!
