So, just did a drawing for Zanaziel (TDS) as an incredibly belated trade for some script work. It's the first art I've done in almost a year, so I wanna know you guys' opinions.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv648%2Fjoymason%2Fouroboros.jpg&hash=754fe068e050b2277308c6b595700c6b9951d201)
Character design is 100% Zanaziel (TDS). Don't use it or redistribute it without his permission. He gets it all to himself.
Oh~ It might be better to say it's for TDS not Zanaziel since he's widely known for that name instead :3
My only comment is that I think his lines are too uniformly thick? :(
It's very nice. I like it :)
I think it'd be safer to place a watermark on it though if you don't want to have it distributed, even though you've posted no one can besides Zanaziel.
Also, I think I like how you've done the gems on both the cloak and the sword. I just happen to enjoy those details there.
His left foot looks a little weird and the bottom of the cloak annoys me for some reason, but other than that I think it looks great.
I think it looks good, but there's something about the eyes that I don't like, almost like there aren't any eye sockets or something

I see that, too. On the right foot, the shoe has that V-shaped divot half way through the foot. On the left foot, the foot is supposed to be facing slightly towards the screen, yet the divot is not visible (and therefore not half way through the shoe, like the other foot).
Oh and what is he doing wearing all of that tight heavy clothing when he has a flaming sword. That must get really hot D:
Having the cape flying every which way when he is fighting probably aint good either.

He's based off the hebrew description of a Seraphim.
Quote
Seraphim literally means "burning ones" in the Hebrew (Sarap, 'to burn'). The word is sometimes used for venomous snakes (e.g. Isaiah 30v6), possibly due to the burning sensation of the poison. It is often used alongside, or interchangeably with "nachash," (heb. "???") a more common and generic term for serpents (e.g. Numbers 21:6-7.)
His main ability is to manipulate light which his weapon Lucifer amplifies giving it the odd look of flames gathering around the sword when it forms and only causing heat at will to burn it's target..
Interesting that the Hebrews consider the seraphim a snake, when Christianity considers them the highest rank of angels in heaven.
yay words!
I like this a lot.
The biggest issue for me is the folds in the clothing, especially at the bottom of the cloak and around the pants (the knees and crotch).
