I enjoyed working on this concept ,,but i wasn't sure if i could finish this in this year xD ; i'm glad i'm finally done. It took me around +50 hours. I was drawing this on Join.me so you might notice this drawing =D


and I hid the cheshire cat behind the background.. Go find it xD

Hey, I felt I could contribute something by giving this piece a crit. Now before I start I just want to make it clear that what i say is for your benefit and I',m not trying to be mean at all. That being said lets get going

This might be a long crit so I'll structure out up into a few parts. I also want to say I won't say anything that has to do with manga, I don't do it but the problems in this have nothing to do with style.

Composition

To start out, this piece doesn't have a clear composition and due to the over detailing (something ill talk more about later) even if there was a composition, you would have trouble seeing it. You had a bunch of swords going in a V format but they blend in to everything else so it doesn't even matter that they're there (compositionally speaking) So study composition to try and improve this.

tangents

Now this is something I can talk for days about. Tangents are shapes/forms that share the same edge or matches something in a bad way. Tangents make an image look fake, flat and draw awkward attention. This piece has a lot of 'em. I'll mention a few: the dude on the left has a sword that perfectly goes parallel with his body and skirt thing. The handle on the sword Alice has is fitting over that guy's arm way too well. The big sword she has, has this part near the handle that matches the line of her leg, and her skirt also is too parallel with that.

overlapping shapes

A thing that is connected to tangents is overlapping shapes. You need to make things overlap or else it will look flat. This is something that you've actually done a lot and thats good! but a lot of those tangents take away form the overlapping of all the shapes.

Detail economy

When it comes to detail this is a problem I se in a lot of peoples work. They detail everything and they put things to fill out space so every last bit of the piece is detailed. Too much detail ruins a piece. I se it in a lot of manga art and it's a consistent problem. You can have a really detailed piece but you need to know were to put it and were the eye can rest. Without places for the eye to comfortably rest it will look too messy. To lean how to do this you'll just have to practice and really be honest with yourself when it comes to improving.

To se how a lot of detail works you can look at people like Frank Frazetta, Drew Struzan and Beksinski. They all have a lot of detail but at the same time their paintings never look messy.

anatomy

Even though this is manga I still think I can say something about the anatomy. The pose alice is in is really awkward. Her right arm is bending in a way that looks very uncomfortable and her feet look very inhuman. Her facial expression is also very weird. My tip for correcting this and making sure you learn how to construct a body better is to study from life. Go to a life drawing class or something and don't do manga when your there. Trust me it will help a lot.

color

Looking at this I kinda can se you haven't really studied color theory. All the colors look nice by themselves but when you put everything together it's kinda messy. It's not that bad but study a bit of color theory and try and unify your pallet.

Okay this crit has gone on long enough. I just wan to end with saying that this crit was aimed to try and push this to a more professional level were you can make a living doing this kind of stuff. It's a grate piece just needs some improving on your skills before you get too professional quality work <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
