Okay here we go...

Detail - 9/10
Not sure what I can say here but I don't believe a 10 is in order.

Originality - 10/10
Again, not sure what I can say here but I think the score says enough.

Accuracy - 15/20
Accuracy refers to how much your drawing actually looks like my character. That makes it the most important category and is therefore worth more points.

So it looks like you just put the spikes and claws over her wrist and fingers. It's not at all like the reference I provided when you asked. She also looks very masculine, but she is supposed to be very cute looking.

Still, not bad. You still have a chance.

Hmm, my aim wasn't to make her seem masculine (I thought I made her skinny enough? I probably got the body proportions wrong, though I used myself as reference when looking in the mirror - I'm nowhere near masculine, but again, the body proportions are probably making her seem like that. Somehow I figured I should have made her look so much younger though, but I wanted to keep somewhat of that 16 year-old look but with the body of a child - should have worked on that a bit more). Also, I think her gauntlets are also adding to the masculine illusion, unfortunately.

I'm taking you wanted the gauntlets exactly like the reference image you provided me or similar, but with more spikes?

I'm definitely going to get around to fixing this image (after the contest though since it's already been scored). The changes won't be anytime soon, but I'll definitely work on this once I finish a ton of other things on my to-do list.

Well when you get that done let me know. I'm interested to see it.

Whoo! Arrogant little artist, that splat, ain't she ^^

YOUR WATER NEEDS MORE WORK

I love her face, and I think the pose feels very strong, despite what you think. The water is shaping up very well, I'd love to see it finished! And the way her legs show through the water is very nice work. I also love the clouds, though they be rough. The hair is interesting! I don't know how I feel about it, it seems to not fill out her head enough but it also looks very good.

Not too sure about the body. Her neck looks very thick, her shoulders look misplaced, and I would never, ever put anyone in that colour. It looks like it would be impossible to shade, like bright mint green. Not a comment on your work, just a general wince at how difficult the colour must have been to work with. Her outfit looks very shiney, like she's in spandex, and her eyebrows are very heavy and not lady-like. The eyebrows probably make me think she looks masculine the most, with help from the neck. Narrow both down and she'd look delicate and lady-like.

The character seems rather bland, but I don't think that's your fault, haha. It isn't really big things that are your problem, over-all I like the composition, and all it'd take to get it looking perfect are small bumps to the near shoulder and a light narrowing of the neck and eyebrows, probably a 20 minute fix. I like it! Good luck with the competition, and I can't wait for the finished version

I disagree with the eyebrows thing. I think it's more the shoulders and neck than the eyebrows.

For the record, the clothes are supposed to be red, [link] but in one of my pictures of her the tiny bit of her shirt that shows looks(is) pink so I guess that's where she got this color from. The pants are supposed to be darker, and not even a shade of red, but they're red in the reference too so that's my own fault.

If you can look at [link] and think the character still looks bland then there is something wrong with you.

Ahh it's been a while! And naah, Splat isn't being arrogant. The rating was for the contest, don't worry And I'll keep these ideas in mind.

Still think she looks bland. Guess I've just seen too many characters that are girls with 'super-cool' water powers, sorry. Magical head symbols and water powers do not a unique character make. Been done a million times.

The pink still looks hard to shade.

There is a lot more to this character than what is in this picture. That's what you don't understand. You won't look at anything besides what is in front of you. I'm not saying you need to go read a bunch of stuff and research the character(most of it is still just in my head at this point anyway, and I'm still removing/changing a lot about her) but you can't say it's bland just because all you see in a picture drawn by not me is some water powers. The word for that is "ignorant," like it or not.

And I'm pretty sure I already told you her shirt is supposed to be red, not pink. Pink is no harder to shade than any other color anyway. It depends on how you do it I guess.

I really find mint green harder to shade then pink.

Pink is still hard to shade, whether or not the character's shirt is actually pink or red or marigold.

How am I supposed to know how AWESOME the character is if you haven't even said/told anything about her? I'm supposed to be a mind reader? How silly.

I have looked at as many pictures of her as you have linked, and she looks pretty much the same in all of them, I confess.
