I'm not sure who these characters are, so you're not going to be hearing "please swap" from me. I think sometimes people tend to get caught up in the subject matter rather than the art itself when it comes to fanart.



I can tell you worked very hard on this. I have way too many thousands of thumbs pop into my devWatch each day, so sadly I have to be choosey about which ones get a look. This one POPPED out at me right away! The contrast is well-executed, it's dynamic, and the background is detailed enough to be intriguing without distracting from your main focus. There's an easy path for the eye to follow. From our foe in the area of light, down her blade to the dark orb, and up into our second character. Very nice triangular arrangement of focal points, slightly off-center.



I spent some extra time looking at the background because you said it gave you such a headache. It may have been a pain, but it really is lovely. The rocks are believable, the atmospheric haze (fog of war, perhaps?) is strategically placed, and the flying pieces do feel as though they are in motion rather than simply blurred. You did an amazing job, and should be super proud of yourself.
