.Arphids' bases. by Hetiru

This is a really nice piece, and you never fail to disappoint me. The colors are really lovely, and the shading is excellent. However, I think the boy's face should be a little lighter. It feels like there's really intense lighting behind the girl, so I don't think he would be completely in shadow. His expression seems kind of void of emotion. There's a slight look of apprehension, but it just seems like he's not fearful enough (if that's in character, then it'd be perfect. I don't know your characters too well D The angle of his back leg seems kind of off, as well. It's twisting too much towards her, sort of like the socket got stuck and doesn't want to turn. I really love your choice in colors for him, and the green is really defining for me. The girl, on the other hand, looks perfect. Her proportions are spot-on, the energy from the jump is definitely there as well. I'm not entirely sure what's going on (I have yet to read your comic/manga), but the girl's expression is perfect. There's everything in there that I would expect with no background knowledge: She's determined, angry, and ready to make her mind known. The background is amazing. I love what you've done in the back, with the gears and the lights and the streets, but it feels like the perspective isn't accurate. The houses and buildings seem kind of "straight" whereas the streets themselves are "slanted." The background definitely serves it's purpose characteristically, though.
