Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Thank you! I like detailed work although I rarely put in many details myself. Had fun doing it this once though "

I like this, I was convinced it was hand-inked till I read it was all computer-drawn. That’s a lovely pose (and not an easy one) that you’ve captured very well in a good composition. : )

Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Thank you! I think I might try something in this style again. If I ever find the time again..."

Wow, is this really digitally made from scratch? Even with a tablet, I’ve never been able to do anything from scratch with a computer program; I’ve always needed either a sketch or a photo as a base I’m impressed!

I’m actually glad that, instead of going all manga-style, you mixed in your own style. Makes it so much more unique and interesting. I love the pose (it’s perfect!) and all the details. Great work!

Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Actually when I started this, I did have a reference I made in Daz Studio. But I wasn’t happy with how it looked and started doodling and got this pose and liked it. Doodling is a good thing "

I really like this piece. It’s the most vivid of all of your work. Brilliant colours, great movement and proportions. I, as well, though this was hand-drawn at first. My only complaint is the low resolution.

I love this. great style great colouring... and i really just love it... Her pose is good, and she really looks like she could be moving... Me Like

Good pose. Cool cloak.

This is pretty amazing. The line art is excellent, as is the coloring! (:

Very nice!

Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Thanks! "

I like this valkyrie very much. Frankly, I generally like valkyries (as you might notice when looking at my gallery^^), but this one here has something special about her. Maybe it’s the choice of colours, but I think it has also something to do with her facial expression, she seems to be lost in reverie (just as I am very often ). Again, a very good job!

Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Maybe it’s the "earmuffs"? "

wow the clothing design and the clothing folds are really cool. also I like how you did with the feathers on the helment. and the coloring is very awsome.

Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Thanks "

Hej Charlotte.

I like the dynamic pose and the hair and headgear. She could use some more fire to be a fire valkyrie though. I can understand that you had some problems colouring the cloak. Before you shade an object you have to understand the shape of it, and the cloak is really undefined. It doesnt fold like cloth it just bulges like a some kind of cloud. Heres a reference picture for you. http://www.wga.hu/art/r/reni/1/atalantb.jpg

Anyway, The word cell shading has its origins from traditional handpainted animation. When the term is used in computer graphics its because its mimics the style of tratitonal animation. However people have started using the term whenever a picture is coloured in a style where the colours are clearly separated and no gradiants and blending are used.

I thought for a long time that it was called cell shading because the colours where separated in "cells" But its really named after the sheets of plastic that the animators painted characters and objects on to separate them from the background.

Well that got a bit lenghty.
Theres a really nice smooth movement to the image.
