Artist's Comments

Main character for a story I created long ago and that I'm still working on. I tried a few differents styles, to see what fitted better with the action scenes and general mood I had in mind.

Some thoughts behind those concepts
She's some kind of elemental martial artist and using her powers affect her body (the reason behind the tinted hands and feets). I think I'm going to stay with a more cartoon style because it's more dynamic as much for poses than for color palettes. And for those who thinks she's too sexy for a martial artist, lets just say I have some reasons behind this design. I also got rid of the megasleeves for action lines purpose.
I'll post some sketches in the scraps section today and other characters tomorrow.

Someone made me notice Marine is not a name in English (and it confused some people too). The closest match would be Marina I guess.

I really like your coloring and shading. The cartoony but also realistic effect is cool.

Personally, I like the one in the middle. I've always loved simple coloring styles.

I like the one in the middle best, with the one to the left a close. The third one, the nose doesn't look quite right (sorry, but you *did* ask for critiques :) ), and the one to the right, the hair style seems like it could limit facial expressions a bit - make it harder to tell what she is feeling, though it's better than the third one.

Still, I really like the character, and added the concept art on as a favorite, which I almost never do. :)

Thank you :)
And yes I asked for critics, its the only think that can make you better :D

Perhaps, but most critics are about as pleasant as a rabid weasel chomping on your foot - especially since most (and I say this as someone who was just one :) ) know about as much about art as a painting cat. So criticizing is awkward, especially when you like the thing and are only looking for flaws because the person wants opinions on how to improve it. :D

(Well, there are some people who are natural-born critics and don't feel awkward about it - see the previous comment about rabid foot-chomping weasels ...)
