You have good concepts. Your attention to expressions, costume design and character interaction give your characters their 'life'. One weak area you may want to look at closer is the inaccurate (and sometimes absent) use of shadows that the figures should cast on the environment you are putting them in. It makes your characters look pasted on a scene and not fully part of it. Your attention to detail and lighting with your 3D models is developing beautifully and your 2D background environments work well with the characters, you just need to pull the two worlds together a little better. Remember, an object effects it's environment and the environment effects objects in it. You are doing excellent work, Mira and I look forward to seeing more.
Artist Reply: Hi tony, Thank you for the concrit! Yes, light and shading are very frustrating for me, especially when combining 3d and 2d. Hopefully practice, while it won't make perfect, will at least leave room for improvement! Truly, I appreciate the comment - that's what this site is all about - eh? From Mira
