Description

Edit: Oops. I made a boo-boo XD. Forgot to erase a "color swatch" on the hair layer. Didn't notice it until I saw it contrasting with the curtains...why do I always forget to erase them? Dammit XD. Well, it's fixed now.

It is done, finally. (Not to sure about the category, may change it later, it was a recommended one, so...we'll just have to wait and see XD.)
And while I think all my artwork is terrible, this is definitely an improvement to the original.
Originally, her hair was too big, so I made it smaller, the face was too srunched up, so I spaced it out a bit.
The color scheme was too dark (I got critiqued on this.) with added lighting I also tried to even out the colors, now it's like a pretty rainbow!! :D *shot*. And I also added a few filters, one for the background, and another that I made myself. I also took the liberty of removing the lineart to the ripped curtains to make it a tad more realistic. And also darkened up the wolf sitting behind her to make it stand out more from the wing its behind. And added a few details to the hellhound at the bottom. And also erasing some of the lineart so it wasn't so damned crammed (like on the dress) and blurring up the lineart on the vines so it wouldn't take away from the details on it. And it made it look softer too, yay me!

Now besides all the corrections, I'll point out the characters.

The Girl -- Known as the soul collector, she will make any wish you want come true, in exchange for your soul. She is opened up to interpretation, she could be a demon, she could be a god (she kind of fits Persephone's profile if you think about it, surrounded by plant life, in a place that seems to be underground, and has two wolves and one hellhound (I know, not Cerberus, exactly, lets just say they have the power to combine or something if you want to think in this interpretation.) And there is a possibility one might think she's a fairy/nymph/some other mythological creature due to her wings.
Sorry if the words are hard to read, I have it on full view, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Lulu - The wolf behind her, she has the ability to change her fur coat depending upon her mood, her coat's original color was white, when it's blue (like now, for instance) meaning she's peaceful. She also has the habit of being shy and timid, and also loyal. She is also known for scolding the other two (the hellhound, and the other wolf with a more visible body.) when they do something that goes against their mistress's wishes.

Cerbe - Headstrong and impatient, he likes to intimidate humans who ask for their wishes granted, is usually scolded by Lulu, if not by their master. And while rough around the edges, he is usually loyal. Again, usually.

The last is Grenir - The Hellhound, you could consider him the wild child of the bunch. He's a trickster, he loves making fun of people (and his own kind alike), and also tearing them (the humans) apart so his master can collect their soul, as long as he gets to some of the remains (he usually is not allowed, unless if it was a human that really pissed his mistress off.)

Now, don't think I had too much time on my hands, giving them personalites and names (well the animals anyways), I'm thinking about making a comic out of this, of course though, I'm going to have to write it out. And make characters designs for the people who want their wishes granted...yeah...

Hey! Great job on this! The new colorfulness of this is very nice. Her dress is really striking and stands out from the rest of the picture. Other elements stand out nicely as well, such as the wolves and the hellhound. So yeah, very nice. :D

So how's it going? Haven't talked to you in a while, so I thought I'd write a comment cuz I really like your redo of the pic, and to say hi. ^_^
