I like the newer design the best. I'm not quite sure that the neck thing is good or not, and the gold medallion looks rather clunky. I definitely think that her chakra stone ought to be oval or diamond in shape, it probably should be higher set as well. I'm tempted to suggest the use of a page-boy hair cut as bangs are often used as a visual short-hand for an "evil" character. But it also is used for "innocence" as well. It would be hard to do without hiding the chakra stone, unless it was particularly low set.
While I'm not really a big fan of the aquiline-faced Raven of old, maybe she should have a slightly narrower jaw-line and "pointier" features? Maybe the chakra-stone might be restyled to be vaguely like a somewhat sharp beak? The oval upper part being on her forhead--but the sharper lower part extending down to her nasal bridge? Could look cool--might also look terrible!
She's looking damn good and the slit eyes totally work for her. I'd suggest taking the jewel on her head and making that a vertical slit as well, maybe inch it up a bit.
I'm liking the black and blue combo as well, nice deep shade of blue there.
Have you thought about increasing the shadow over her eyes, since in both the comic and the cartoon the hood gives a rather unnatural shadow over half her face.
The cleavage is interesting. I'm not used to seeing her show it off, but I certainly don't mind it, the points you gave her top fit in well with her look. As for the loin cloth, it works way better than the body suit.
Also, out of curiosity, what do you think of the Teen Titans cartoon design of Raven?
-B!
and yeah, i've seen the Teen Titans cartoon. while i thought it was fun stories and a good retelling of the titan's mythos, my major issue with it was the frankly, very BORING costume designs. i mean, go look at the new Young Justice designs, and then at the Teen Titans, and you'll see what i mean. they over simplified it.
and yeah, when i saw the cartoon i thought Raven was a fun character, but dressed in a VERY boring costume. (sadly, i always look at things from an artist viewpoint FIRST, which means that i sometimes dislike good shows/comic books/etc for the lack of good art)
At first I was a little saddened to see the 20-something Raven as opposed to the 18, but I quickly realized you've got the older Starfire as well, so you're certainly well set in the current continuity and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm happy to see more Raven!
Also, if there's any DC gals you would like to see me draw lemme know, I've got time and the near constant need to draw!
-B!
and i honestly dunno what to ask you draw, DC wise. if i had my druthers, i'd like to see my OC Orbital Girl, ([link]) but i realize she isn't a DC girl /_\
As for brushing off a few years, I'd say you could also take a little off her height, but I don't know how easy that is.
And for Orbital, what sort of personality does she have?
-B!
as for Orbital Girl, she's the Straight man to Blond Bomb's ditzy Funny Girl act. i really need to get around to doing a Promo Pinup, but honestly i'm so bogged down. if you just wanna do a Quicky DC girl, i'd pick Zatanna (since i don't recall seeing her from you)
anyway, i'm glad your happy so far with Raven, and i hope i do her justice (once i get back around to her, i'll do a proper test render, and note you for critique and suggestions)
-B?
