After 24 hours of pure torture and about 5 hours of sleep, this is ALL I HAVE DONE. I estimate the entire picture will be done in about a week.

So anyway, could someone please tell me I'm not wasting my life on crap? Haha because I've been spending so much concentration on making this perfect that I'm totally exhausted XP

There's going to be a person in each little.... trapezoid? Yeah, so there'll be seven people in all, and so far I only have two... This is why I usually only do pictures with one or two people T~T
If there's a 50/50 chance of getting something wrong go for it anyway because there is also a 50/50 chance of getting it right

Wow, Micki, you've definitely taken on a huge project here with the multiple characters thing O_O. I've never done a picture with more than two characters at a time, and even then it takes me more than twice the effort! You really have to have a lot of determination to finish something like this xD

I'm wondering, are you drawing each character separately and then copying them onto each trapezoid area? Or are you drawing them straight onto this background? To me, I think it would be VERY difficult to draw them straight onto this picture. It would be really hard to keep your proportions steady when you are trying to squeeze your character into boxes. I would recommend the next time you do this, draw each character separately, like onto separate pictures, and then cut paste and readjust their sizes to fit them into a group picture. I think it would take a LOT less time, and look cleaner, I think.

Anyways, so far this looks really good! I definitely see all the effort you put into coloring this. I like the highlights you added to their skin and hair. The shading on his tie and her gray arm bands looks good too. This will turn into a great picture ^_^

For picky comments, I would say that I think the guy's eyes might be a little too big or have too many lashes. Right now, it looks a little like he's wearing makeup. It doesn't look bad, but if you didn't intend for that character to have a makeup or slightly feminine look, I might lighten the definition around his eyes.

With the girl's eyes, I think they look good, but they are missing a black pupil. Unless you intended for her to look like she was in the middle of casting a spell (that's what it reminds me of XP) you just need to add that small detail.

The only thing I'm worried about is making the other characters look not squished when you add them into the picture x)

But I think this pic will be a great learning experience for you lol ^_^Hope I helped :)
