Love creating artwork but you can't find that extra-little push you need to get going? Looking for a community of artists to share your progress with? Want to press your foundations and aesthetic choices to the max?
Look no further! Open Crits is now a WEEKLY DESIGN CHALLENGE that will push you to get back to your foundations to enforce well-rounded drawings. All artists are welcomed, though for now the assignments will be geared more toward animation-themed work.

I am... not entirely sure what this is. But I sort of like the idea. I'm just not terribly clear on what the idea is. Quick sketch in maybe 30 minutes?
I like the aura of this character, she def. looks tough. She doesn't strike me as very native american though, more african tribal. I'd definitely check the proportions of her neck/head, they look a bit off (head too far from the shoulders maybe). Cool ^^
I thinking Rachel's critique is pretty spot on. She's got a great attitude in that stance, you can tell she is confident in her power. Although I don't think being more African-tribal is a bad thing, it does seem to conflict with the totem reference with the headdress, and the weapon she's using doesn't seem quite native American.
I don't know, she seems more relaxed then tough to me. Like the calm before the battle. I like the idea of the mask, I would play that up in more design then just a bird's face, like in Princess Mononoke. It would be awesome to see her in action poses.
