Description

wow. I am...not satisfied with this :\
it looks good to me, but something about it bothers me -- a lot of things, actually, i think............. mostly coloring-related...
but i sorta tried new things with this, sooo I guess that's to be expected. totally bsed the background, it looks kind of eh because I had no idea what i was doing, LOL. it's kind of really messy/chaotic too, and not in a way that I really wanted it to be.

FORESHORTENING IS HELL, AND BARE FEET ARE HELL TOO, Y DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF LOL.

anyway...

song is Orbit! a friend showed this song to me and it is the best thing ever so i was like. hell yeah.
can you imagine my character singing the vocals in this? because that's what I've been imagining hehe..

REF OF THE CHARACTER
that I made..for...well...ref.

yea.................

edit: ohh yeah, i totally forgot to add design notes :P

if you look closely at the character's pupil in the ref, you might be able to see... circling arrows? because "orbit."

alsooo, the character is not human, but a robot, this is actually --I didn't come up with that because the song is like some electronic kinda thing, but because of the lyrics "A brave adventurer like me remembers everywhere that I've come from" -- the first thing I thought when thinking over these lyrics, my way of interpreting...this sort of implied idea of "coming from" more than one place -- if you would interpret "everywhere that I've come from" as "all my various birthplaces" -- was that the character is a robot whose individual parts come from many different places (maybe even many different galaxies since this is a space thing) ...yeah!

"
Follow the trail of the star dust" is a line in the song as well, and so my original concept for the actual submission was that I'd have my character walking on a literal trail of stardust in outer space. what I ended up doing is sort of similar, because all the sparkly stuff is supposed to be stardust. I can't draw a lot of stars without it looking really messy though :( maybe i'll figure that out eventually.

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeahhhhhhhhhhh

Ha ha, this is now one of my favorite songs ^^
You did a really good job on the character's pose! Whoa!
The character looks really cute, especially the hood with it's "bunny ears"
The lighting is done well too! (heh heh... i can't do that)
The background looks really nice, but all the stars distract a little from the main character
Maybe instead of having most of the stars white, try having more slightly different colored stars, or stars with different opacities/effects and only a few bigger white stars
