(created in HeroMachine)
Another superhero character. No backstory for her yet other than the fact that her powers are magic-based.
EDIT: On the advice of one of the guys over at the HeroMachine website I dialed back the alpha on the smoke effects so it wouldn't dominate the character so much.
EDIT2: Props to
for helping with the energy effects around the hands.

So this Image really impressed me.
1st, the visual elements:The energy effect really captures the eye and draws you in. I really like it. The tiara over the mask is a nice touch, adding flavour and character, a nice personalization. The face is great, awesome shadows, I'd be interested to know how you got the mouth shadow that way. The costume design is just amazing, the only thing I would have done different would have been to mask the Insignia to the costume, unless your intent was to have it magically floating in front of her. Masking the Leafy vambraces to the arms was a nice touch, and added a nice colourful break in the chromatic symetry. The energy around the hands is a neat effect, but feels just slightly flat. I love how you created thigh-high boots by using spandex, I'll have to try that myself.
On to the technical aspects.
So like I said, the costume is amazing! great use of spandex to create a nice piecemeal costume. The boots are especially impressive, masking the trouser-stripes to the leggings in that way creates a wonderful effect. I would have continued it to the boots themselves, It can be difficult masking in such inconvenient elements, but with patience doable. An example of what I mean can be seen here: [link]
As for the Energy effect around the hands; I would drop the alpha to ~45%, and add swirling satellites of more similar energy circles or the like at even lower alpha, this would make it much more dynamic. Finally, I would try to eliminate the black line across her belly. I would do so in one of two ways; either masking an identically coloured piece of spandex to a suitable insignia and having it seamlessly cover the line, or alternatively, colour a suitable insignia or other shape and set the outline alpha to 0% just covering the line. I suppose you could hide it with energy as well. If the line is an intentional part of the Costume, you have my apologies. It really does not look bad, it just looks like it should all be one flowing, smooth piece.
Personally, I try to avoid Black outlines whenever possible. While it does provide a traditional Comicbook feel, it reduces the naturalism, and dynamism of an image, but that is just my opinion.
