I re-drew this: fav.me/d360y5q for a contest on :iconnot-exactly-the-best:
I was originally going to re-draw a different thing, but I couldn't think of any way to make it more creative. And then I happened upon the old version of this and said "yes."
Not one hundred percent happy with it. I keep tweaking the background and bits of shading on Bullet herself. Her stance doesn't look quite right, either.
I was going to keep her pose similar to the original, but then decided not to, since the story behind the picture is that she's a vigilante of sorts and hears someone coming down the path so she's quickly ducking behind the rocks. Maybe she'd just been sitting on them in a pose similar to the original and has only now just gotten up? c: I liked the motion of it.
I like to think I've improved on a little bit of everything with this. And I love that speedpainting technique for backgrounds. Still can't draw rocks for shit though.

I also changed her ears because they were wrong in the original. >.> Colelli have fuzzy ears not human ears.

If this is changed too much to not really be considered a 're-draw' so much as a new drawing entirely, just let me know and I'll draw a different thing for the contest. c:

I'm not sure if I've drawn anything this...ambitious as of late. The shading on Bullet came out strange in a few places. I may darken the bit where the light's shining through the middle just a bit so it isn't so blinding. Was experimenting with air perspective, sort of, and also trying to incorporate that clearing area as the biggest light source. I'm not so good with perspective.

Apologies for the horrible delay, there were some major tech issues. On with the critique :)

I love how you left no details out. The detail of bark on a tree, the grass with maybe some clover growing? Awesome. I think there should have been more defining lines though. There seems to be too much emphasis on the character. While that's what you want, I do want to see the detail of the rest of the picture. Maybe the person she heard walking down the pathway a bit (just a small figure, barely recognizable).

This drawing is just so good it's hard to come up with any negatives for it. Bravo and continue on. :)
