Finally finished 7. Heaven. Tried my hand at a somewhat more environment concentrated art for the first time. I'm not really good at backgrounds so I apoligise ;A;
So this is Red Night series' version of 'HEAVEN' or basically just the "stairway to heaven" huehuehuehuehuehueheueheu
Ummmm I guess it's pretty obvious who those 2 characters are going to Heaven are. But I wont say anymore >w<

The best part about this challenge is trying out different things. I went back to photoshop to draw this, well for the background anyway. The 2 people were drawn on Sai first and the lineart and first block colours were done on Sai too.

Infact I have requested a critique! Will anyone give me a good one please? I'd love to know how I could have done things better, like lighting tips? What photoshop brushes are good for environments? Any other flaws that can be helped? PLEASSEE I'd love help to improve!!

The stairs are beautiful done close to the 'camera' but are a bit off-center on the path that they rest on. Also on the stairs it looks like there's like a 'guide rail' on both sides, but it's more visible on the left and on the right it just disappears. On the left there are places that look as though they've been erased, but are not smooth.
The pillars in front are great, but being the closest object I'd add some blurr effect to them to show the effect of looking past them to the main point.
The character with the blue hair *who's name has escaped me* His anatomy looks great at a glance but upon looking closer it's fairly out of wack. It looks like his torso and arms are too long, and his neck and legs look too short.
As for that portal to Heaven *which is what I'm calling it XD* It's hard to tell if it is meant to be standing vertically or laying horizontally. As I said in my comment, I love the rainbow cracks, they're gorgeous, a little more glow to them may give more impact *not too much glow though* but they're really beautiful as they are now. The final thing is that the white center glow could use a tad bit of blurr to it so it doesn't look quite so sharp. All in all the drawing is absolutely gorgeous. I applaud you for this, it's beautiful.
