Description
Here's June in the red dress she wears in Champion. I wanted to make her more elegant and restrained than the others, I don't think she's the type to pose dramatically in a big, poofy dress with the wind blowing her hair into tangles. That said, I think June looks a bit lifeless in comparison to the other girls, possibly because there's a lot less movement in the picture? Constructive critique on this would be greatly appreciated :)

Been a while since I've read a Legends book, but good job. Your depiction of June is very elegant, and there's only a slight hint of cleavage for the dress, which is an important detail to take into account.

I hope you get to read them soon, I feel that Legend is one of those rare series where each book is progressively better than the previous one :D

gahhh i really need to get champion......i've read the other two books but im pretty sure nobody even knows that the third books exists..........ah! though on the critique.......ermm............imonna try to be as complex as my brain can comprehend........I do love the contrast between June and the background, it really make give the work a sort of just appeal to the eye! The detail of the dress was quite exceptional, and the lighting enhanced the gown even more! I also like the expression you put on her face, really setting the scene and making it look elegant, though it's the type that's comfortable and warm, not just crowding as many jewels and designs on the dress as possible. Overall though, it was very intricate and pretty!

omg, yes! So great!
And I actually think that this fits June in a dress, she was not that comfortable in it, so I don't think she looks lifeless, she just looks June.
But if you want movement, uou could try adding it on the background. But I think it's great, it fits her and it's so pretty! Colors, texture, etc.
AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ARI! <3

Thank you so much :)
That's a great idea, adding movement in the background, next time I'm drawing an intentionally stiff character I may give it a try :D
And same to you!
I wish you good food and good presents and lots of time to relax <3

This is beautiful. I love it. ^^ Couldn't even say what I love the most about it - I do like the textures a lot though - because the over all piece is so well done. Keep up the good!!!

No, problem! I love seeing the progression of your art. I think you get better and better with each and every piece you do. ^^

I love the elegance of this one! Her pose, the way the material drapes her body, the choice of colours - it's all so elegant.

I still have a lot to improve on though. But practice is very important!

mhm.
Btw, I finished Allegiant.
I AM NOT OKAY.
Why Veronica why???
I knew there were going to be dead people but not the main character QuQ
My life is over...
I'm not sure if I even want to read anymore popular young adult books because the ones I read made me cry.. Not in a good way.
( but I'm a really sensitive person so yeah...)

Awwww, have a hug!
I personally like tragic endings, but I totally understand why other people might not like it.
Have you read Veronica's blog post about the ending?
veronicarothbooks.blogspot.co.…
I know it helped a lot of people come to terms with the ending :)
I think, though, that Allegiant is the exception, not the norm. Most of the YA books I've read have happy endings, I can only think of three (Allegiant, TFIOS and Mockingjay) that left me feeling sad. What other books have you read that made you cry?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't mind tragic endings either. But the thing is that with Tfios and Mockingjay; I felt closure and also more sastified with the end. And I didn't really felt it with Allegiant. You kind of know what I mean?
That doesn't give away the fact I still love the trilogy.
It's probably only Allegiant and Tfios that made me really cry so far. Mockingjay made me just feel sad about the characters dying and about that it was the ending of this beautiful trilogy.
But I started with Hush Hush and I get a feeling that I'm going to cry or feel sad too.

Really? I felt like Allegiant had heaps of closure (because Tris was satisfied with her choices when she died, and because we got to mourn with Four) but I didn't really feel like Mockingjay had much closure at all - the characters all died so quickly and since Katniss was too emotionally wrecked to mourn for most of the book, I couldn't really mourn properly either.
I haven't read the Hush Hush series (I'm not really a paranormal romance fan) so I quickly googled spoilers for you and according to the internet (SPOILER WARNING IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW SAD THE ENDING IS) lots of sad things happen during the final book but the overall ending is happy and Patch and Nora are alive and together at the end of the series. So there you go :)

Hmm when you say it like that, yeah. c:
And That about the characters dying so quickly in MockingJay I agree with.
I didn't even noticed when Finnick and Prim died. I had to read it over before I realised it.
And about Hush Hush..
Noooooo...
Always that final book where a lot sad things happen isn't it?
But I am happy Patch and Nora both stay alive and together!
Thank you ^-^
