This was going to be promotional art for my band, The Planet Pluto but we decided to scrap it.

This one is a mixed bag. I think the girl in the middle is very well drawn, especially the details around her hair and the flowery crown. On the other hand, the background is very noisy and detracts a lot of attention from the focus of the piece (the girl). I think you might need to remember the old addage: less is more.

Also, the pearl necklace and the lines along her shoulder seem very rough compared to the fine details of her hair. It sticks out and makes the work seem unfinished (which might be the case).

Overall, it has potential to be a really cool piece if you removed some of the clutter in the background and polished some of the details of the girl a little bit more (and judging from the beautiful details in this piece so far, that shouldn't be a problem for you.)

Keep up the good work!

Knocturne responds:

Yup, this was not a finished piece and actually the drawing included her body and everything but I cropped it out. Personally, I like the conflict between the busy background and the simple girl. It's the specks of stars versus the lines that form her and I thought it worked but maybe not, also I spent more time on the background than the girl which is probably why I'm against simplifying it if I ever do go back to this.

Thanks a lot, your review was refreshin!

looks dope.

there might be too manythings happening in the background.
The close ups of the snowflakes makes it more interesting though

Knocturne responds:

Hehe those are supposed to be stylized stars! Guess I should not simplify some things, thanks dude

This is absolutely astonnishing, maximized this is all I can see and there is a ton of work inside of this piece. I have a pretty heady blasted feeling so this is all just very euphoric and wordly, like she's a universe and I'm merely a molicule basking in its limitless valor. Great painting!

Knocturne responds:

You really brightened my day and convinced me this drawing was a lot more than what I was making it out to be, thank you
