Description

Please check my Art Status Stamp by Chibi-Nuffie:iconcommentplz::iconreadplz::icondonotplz::iconusemyartplz:
Melody Tonus the Nightingale, also known as The Siren, is the 23 year old sole surviving member of the House of Tonus. Melody is very headstrong and and confident and doesn't know the meaning of "no", though she will concede to Kallis' orders. She has harbored feelings for Vulcan the Bull for years since he gave her the headband she now wears. He commented that she can't fight properly with her hair in her face and told her she should tie it up. Melody has been wearing her hair like that since. Vulcan has also commented that while he hates the color red, he hates it less when she wears it. Melody is skilled in sound manipulation and music magic; she can manipulate sound waves, produce a sonic shriek and utilize music to enhance or diminish powers and produce physical attacks. Melody also has a special power inherited only by the female members of her family: a Siren song that can enchant and lure those that hear it.

I think Melody is the first case where I actually purposely tried to do something sexy. Here's what I mean, since I had the whole "Siren" thing surrounding her and her family, I couldn't help but think pirates... and when it came to Melody, I couldn't stop thinking sexy pirate >.< I also for the life of me could not give her normal hands. I just couldn't X3 I also went with a Common Nightingale for Melody because I just really liked that soft brown on her and couldn't see her with flashy colors. But I did throw in some markings to liven it up a little.

Name origin: 
-"Melody": Greek for "music, song"
-"Tonus": Latin equivalent of the English word "tone"

Alright, since I wasn't familiar with your works, I had to browse your gallery to get a good feel of your talent and skills. I think that by now, I've got a handle on where you are and where you've come from.

Vision: Seeing as this is par for the course with many of your character profiles, I can't say if you really did anything particularly different, but you didn't do any worse. I liked your character profile, though; nice background story.

Originality: It's not often that I see a lot of bird characters (the popularity of which jumped after the appearance of the Babylon Rogues), and I do like her design. those boots are lovely!

Technique: Your technique has improved a lot as you keep submitting art, and it shows. I feel that you've done extremely well with shading, which is very apparent on the face. The face under the hair is appropriately shaded, and it brings some real depth to the picture as a whole.

Impact: I have a new artist to watch. ^^
