I didn't color her Iris because she looked odd with them colored, for some odd reason...

I know what you mean, I've experienced that before myself.

About the drawing: it's God.

I agree. I couldn't see the irises any other way. Very good.

That's perfection right there.


Everything looks amazing.

No crits from me. 5 of 5

This is Fantastic. Kitana has never looked better. Awesome job man.

Great work as usual Jax007!
Man, your colouring has improved leaps and bounds and is really impressive...you use a Tablet for your colouring, right? You must!
You should try to get work at Dreamwave here in Canada, you'd likely get on there.

WOW. That drawing and coloring is excellent. I think this is one of the best art, if not THE best art i have seen on here. Everything about this is perfect. Even down to the little things such as the little ring holding the fans together and the strands of hair hanging outside the ponytail. Flawless. 5/5

Wait a minute, I see something that needs fixing.


She is not self shadowing!

Her arms should be casting a shadow on her leg.

Some other areas need shadows too.

Awesome pencilling, as normal ^_^

I took the liberty of filling in her eyes, lemme know what you think; I for one like the result:
Eyeball goodness

And I guess I'm a little biased, but the hair needs more detail/contrast. ^_^
And I know it's not easy, but the black's highlights need a lot of work, although I know some people that get away with not shading the black at all. o_O Boggles me. Bleed's right though, her arm would be casting a shadow.
And for some reason she doesn't oil her arms as much as she does her legs O_o cuz they're not as shiny as she thighs. Foreheads tend to shine like bowling balls, too. ^_~

I do love the skin tones though :3

The eyes look great colored in.

I think the eyes that Rammspoon did look great.

Nice work. The colors are the best part. They stand out so well.
Her hair looks great (the bun look great), nicely colored too.
I like her finger nails but her fingers seem a little odd.
Her ears are the best I have seen...ever!
I must say her boobs look a little too big. Her right leg (or the one on the left) looks kinda funny. It looks like rubber.
Also her left elbow looks pointy.

Overall this is excellent. My favorite Kitana drawing ever. Jax007 you never cease to amaze me.
*Ram, great job on the eyes.

Thats fuckin sweet. Best kitana i've ever seen. The drawing and colouring is very neat. 5/5.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Wow, I love it.
I wish you could do a Jade like that ;P
Nah, it's ok, you have done your share :D

Alot of that is Jax's drawing style.

Anyway, seexxyyyy. The way it's colored almost looks more painted than digital. Depending on the software it's difficult for me to get the appearance of strokes instead of solid tones.

While the shadowing is missing it isn't necessarily a loss. There is actually alot more shading that would be necessary besides just the arm area. As intense as that light is it would create some pretty stark shadowed areas. Left side of: face, forward arm, forward leg, back leg, inside of the cleavage. The hand, parts of the fan, behind hair, leg area from the forward arm, will be completely shadowed. Check the light intensity by checking the hotspots. A very bright and focused light source would create the shine on her skin. Textures can change that but skin is a good indicator. My general rule is shade everything or shade nothing to keep it consistent. Jax has shaded nothing so it works out okay.

All things aside, I think your other Kitana drawing is much more gorgeous. This picture is more acurate to Kitana however, and the coloring is beautiful.

Take it easy

insane......

That's great.
Her right leg looks a little weird. I agree with Bleed, it needs some shadows.
Pretty good.
5/5 Dragon Points.

Looks great. It always looked odd when I tried it. She has brown eyes, tough. ;)

Thanks for the comments peoples.

How long did you spend on this?

Im not too sure, probably around 1 hour to finish the sketch and about 3 hours to color. I never really time it.

I think it's top-notch, I just have an issue with her face. It's a well rendered face, no question, it's just a bit more evil looking then Kitana normally looks. If you had done this pose, but changed it to MKD Milenna, then it would have been perfect. Cuz I find she looks a bit more demonic then usual.

I like her fun curves tho. ^_^

..... >.> What do you mean, "She has brown eyes, though"??? always had brown eyes. I think you'd better take another look, cuz I gave her brown eyes; ask anyone.
See for yourself!

I don't think it looks as good as before, but not bad.

well that puts all my coloring efforts to shame!! That’s damn awesome, kudos for raising the bar that much higher.
