Description

EDIT: replaced the old file with the cleaner revice.

I colored my portrait now. Experimented with secondary light sources because I can, and I like green light it makes his eyes go pretty. Please eveyone, remind me to never eeeeeeeeeeevvveeeeeer do jewels like these again when I plan on coloring. they were an absolute freakin nightmare to get colored, took me 2 hours to do them. which is a lot if you know that I did the rest in some 4 hours. I really wanna know how you guys like this pic. So leave a little critique behind yeah? I'm here to learn!!!!

Personally, I think this piece worked better without the colour, or would have been enhanced far more by very little. Despite this, I do believe you've done a fantastic job; I adore the golds and blues adorning his face, it's a unique image of the trickster. The green hue you've managed to subtly draw through the piece adds to the point; it's his colour, and his eyes still stand out in spite of the greenish shadow you've incorporated.
The hair though, needs work, I think. Personally, I'd have preferred it to have looked far more wispy - as though the individual strands were capturing his features... One shoulder looks like it needs drawing in a little, due to the angle, too.

My favourite features on the piece are the ears (because I'm not overly fond of drawing them myself, and when I do, by the Norns they never look like that. Your shading is nigh on perfect), and the eyebrows (bizarrely, they stand out to me most in the image. They look fantastic, I think). It may have worked better if only the eyes had been coloured so brightly, and you'd left the rest as it was before... Nevertheless, a beautiful piece.
I can barely fault it, spare for what I've already pointed out. I adore it; very well done.
