I've made a similar thread on another site, but I don't really get any critiques or advice on how I'm doing or anything that needs improving.
I like advice as I go so I can fix it as soon as possible instead of when I feel it's too late.
So here's my current work that I've been working on as well as the progress shots before it for comparison on how it's going 'n whatnot.
The subject is a character of a friend. Do
not steal her character or the design.



* Current Notes*
Almost done adding the base for all the details and the basic shading markings.
The halo is supposed to be flames. I'll be studying flames before painting it for real.
The cloak isn't complete.
The background is no where near being even halfway done.
The weapon, tail, and wings aren't even started with the defining, they're still basic shapes.
