            Love the painterly style and how the lighting is working. Great textures.

              Okay working on the poses

              To flush out my story idea, my idea is that she lives in a village that is under siege by frogs, and she's been sent to find repellants (lemons from the lemon tree) but she has to travel through frog territory to get there (the pond).

                @carlianne Beautiful illo.Also the layout sketch is nice. An idea if you want it 🙂 Maybe add a close up of her looking at a lemon tree picture ,so she can recognize it once she looks at it at real life (indicating that it is her first time stepping out of her village and she had not seen a lemon tree yet in her life)
                Just my 2 cents!!!
                Keep it up, the character is beautiful!

                  Just refining and cleaning up, would love to know if that cast shadow in the bottom right is working

                    Looks great! I think the shadow is a nice touch since it draws your eye back toward the center.

                          I wasn't feeling happy with the shadow, so I swapped out the pose and made some other changes, just trying to nail this down before I paint later

                                I didn't like my layout, so I am trying to make one of the poses more of a focal point

                                      I like the newer layout structurally! It's has a nicer flow. I think the only potential problem is the "close up" on the face - it's the same size almost as the one below it in the pose. I think even if you decreased the name a little bit and made the face just a bit bigger that would help separate it.

                                        @jdubz Great point! I've adjusted it 🙂

                                        Now Deciding on a background treatment. Do you all prefer dark or light bg?

                                            I love the dark bg, hard to say why though. Her wings stand out more, and it makes the other colors feel richer.
