When they say a "work of art" I don't think it gives this image enough credit XD This piece is a testament to the community. It shows the characters in a new light never before shown off, and you do so in a way that not only conveys the characters in a humanizing way, but also in a way that makes the Fandom, feel closer to them, as I feel the shadow crowd is a quite literal interpretation for the Fandom, always cheering on and enjoying the show the Characters are in, but never being able to stand in the same light as they are quite literally in the Shadow of the show. But that's perfectly fine and quite the artistic input for this piece XDalthough this is a Critique so I feel I should not simply sing it's praises (even though I love this so much)First I love the dresses, they fit the style and characters perfectly, Ruby's shows the least but is still influenced by Yang's more flamboyant personality being her older sister, and Blake's being the perfect mix of conserving and flashy, as the lacy front is a dead give away for the lack of a back in the dress which is perfect for Blake and we don't even have to see the back to understand that's what it looks likeBut. I must say that the Chests of each girl is a bit larger than necessary, I understand it was mostly done for Fan service and such but this piece is so well done already that it's not really needed, Blake and Ruby are especially victim to this, Ruby is only slightly more developed than Weiss in Canon but here it appears to be multiple cup sizes, and Blake is on the same level as in Canon Yang which shouldn't be the case, so I feel they are a bit too large for their own good, but none-the-less they add to the pieceThe Eyes are also a tad interesting to look at, because I can definitely tell it's a unique style to you, but it also draws a tad too much attention, especially Yang... While I love the pose you put Yang in (Bumblb all the way) I can't help but find myself fixated on Yang's right eye, something about it seems entirely off, I couldn't tell you how to fix it for the life of me, but it definitely seems to need some kind of tweak.I love the way each of their arms add to the personality of each character, Ruby wanting to stay close and hold onto Weiss for comfort in crowded areas while still wanting to show her joyous and outgoing spirit, Weiss holding restraint and keeping herself as elegant and presentable as possible, Blake trying to be modest and not wanting too much attention on her, and Yang making sure to claim Blake by holding onto her Shoulder and taking a picture of them together, all in all, the detail of how they're arms interact with one another really adds to the piece, but again there is a minor detail I can't unsee after having found itBlake's right arm falls next to her side and for some reason I don't know which, it seems to shrink to an unreasonable width, now, upon viewing this image over and over I've discovered that it is merely going behind her Hip and so the transition is much more reasonable, but at first instance it is very difficult to see that so I don't know how you could make it more prominent whilst keeping it's fluid lighting but I still feel that it's not entirely a viewers mistake, but that could be all it is, which in case all I can say would be to try and avoid those as much as possibleall in all, I can't find many things in this to critique, the piece is truly amazing and I can't give it enough praise, I especially love the addition of the Poster and the Volume and RWBY title in the back, the way you managed to make it all obvious without making it obvious and keeping it in the back and not the center makes it seem much more lifelike and realistic, it's truly a stunning effect
