HERE you can see the work

So my girlfriend just had a commission asking for an elf that's a Paladin and an Acrobat, from a role-play game :)
She wants to improve with armors, so constructive critics are really welcome!

If you want to see more you can visit her gallery on Facebook, ArtStation or DeviantArt

Thank you guys! :D

The face is amazing and very lifelike. I'm impressed. :O
The only thing I would try to improve would be the armor/weapon textures to match the quality of the face.
The shadows are fine, just the textures could use more "oomph!" XD

Yeah, she makes really nice bodies, but what it costed the most was the armor.
Also she has got issues with Photoshop making strange lines :/
Thank you!

Yeah no problem.
She's definitely very talented. XD

I'm a painter/illustrator myself, and there's no way I could create something like that on the PC. :)

No, no site or DA or anything -- I'm not that ambitious. :P
Just a hobby I've had most of my life and something I love doing. :)

You can share your things in some web like that anyway!
Whatever, keep creating, if you like what you do that's the most important thing to carry on :)

Is it just me, or does that elf look a lot like Robert Pattinson's portrayal of Edward Cullen?

This looks like a Twilight character. :B xD Hehe, don't worry, it looks awesome. But the armor, especially on the shoulders, doesn't look like it fits. o.O

I think she did an Edward Cullen with armor. Great job though!

Pretty impressive! I don't think I could ever do stuff anywhere near that. My best artwork is still my profile picture, lol.

Nope, she doesn't, the customer just asked the elf looked like this, anyway if you see the face is different from Cullen xD

Her works are gorgeous!! Highres makes it look more appealing. But upon further inspection it seems to be a bit unnatural, I mean pose. Even though armour looks great! Like really really great!

The feet look a bit odd but that might just be the way the boots are drawn. It looks pretty detailed. Good job!

Paladin without a shield? I also don't like the colors she used for the armor. Paladins armor should be either white, silver, gold or a mix of those.

Anyway, I remember you from that time you posted about the bad situation your girlfriend is in. Were links to those websites for art jobs and commissions I gave you helpful for her?

Well, this is not something she had to select, the customer wanted his character like this and he's been very pleased, so we are happy for that.

Yeah! She registered there and looked some jobs to do, but now she's taking some commissions and book covers.

Thanks for the help :)

Hey, my girlfriend could also use those links. If it's not too much trouble, could you possibly reply with some of the useful ones you mentioned? :)

Sure, sorry for the long delay with the reply, my monitor is dead.

http://www.conceptart.org/go/artjobs (This website is for art jobs only)
https://www.behance.net/joblist (This one is for all kinds of creative work, she can filter jobs by category)

Then there are lots of general freelancing websites like Freelancer, Upwork, etc.
These are all I can remember now. If she can't find anything on the first website she should probably register for all of them, including general freelancing websites.

Acrobat with this armor? Hell no :D I see great concept on his forearms - hands are protected by armor but it's not so heavy
and elbow retains it's mobility. Chestplate is nice - maybe too thick in the middle comparing to lower part of it. Bottom armor is too heavy for acrobat and I think it's a main reason she need advice (this part seems to be unfinished so I think she don't like this part too). Legs should have some mobility like arms, it should be more like light armor. To have good mobility and protection on bottom part of body I would consider "dress" concept of armor like this.
Shoulder pads are ok for me - only color make them little out of this story, and maybe there is something unnatural with belts near neck. Here is an example of simmilar part of armor.

Also I love weapon shading, its awsome :D

I hope my broken english won't offend you or sth and my opinion will help to improve this picture ^^

The art is great. The commission... not so much.
I mean, an elf that's a Paladin and an Acrobat? Come on now.
