This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Maybe it's just really thick water? 😁
Do you think it looks slimy everywhere or in specific spots? If the second do you mind sharing which spots look that way the most to you other than right of the nose? And it is because I use a wide color range that brings in greens like to the right of the nose do you think?
Ooo just came across this one after revisiting the prior one. Agreed, much improvement. I went through comments first to see what feedback was provided already. I have to agree here, there's a sort of slimy quality to the water. Water has pretty low cohesion, so the swatch over here nose seems a bit wide and the runoff from her chin has a bit too much of a tail. I could see it being from a sudden water balloon burst, though, where the shear volume of unstable water ignores surface tension limits for a moment. But some things to point to during more study is how different fluids behave between differences in surface tension, adhesion to surfaces, cohesion to itself, and viscosity. Alcohol is low in 3, high in adhesion. Water is close. Syrup is in the middle/other end. Hocked phlegm is the other end.
The context of the scene adds some confusion for me as well. Where did the water come from? Seems like it's a tropical beach on a sunny day. If she popped up from the water, the water lingered a little too long. If it's raining, there's no raindrops. If she's a mermaid that shot out of the sea, there could be more water flying off to show the motion.
But again, my buddy, I love the continued work and contribution to the community. I genuinely continue to enjoy your green grim reaper as it continues to rotate through my backgrounds. Please, continue.
Good feedback, thank you!
