    I was sick and without much to do and Chev, like a knight in shining armor(lolpun), came to my rescue and saved me from my boredom. Together we made this collab to pass the time.

    CnC?

    Nice pun./fail

    It's a bit hard on the eyes, but I like the coloring, goes pretty well with the overall theme, though something darker could've been appreciated as well. You guys did a good job. c:

    But Kingdom Hearts is light D; you're all darkness dwellers. Lol, thank you for the feedback. I am kind of a sucker for lighter stuff.

    That picture is absolutely stunning.

    What I like about this is the interesting pose you designed her in. The background's pretty nice, too.
    It also looks like she doesn't give a care in the world.

    Who is she, by the way?

    All in all, though, 10/10.

    this is really stunning, literally. (sorry for stealing your phrase amaury, but I needed to say it) Like, I don't know about in the light, but in the dark, all that light in the middle kinda makes it hard to look at. But it also makes it really beautiful at the same time. Talk about making someone out of your league.
    And was the blurred cloud in the back you, or was it already there?
    And might I ask....why are there blocks in the picture? Did the pixals not like to go alone with you?
    But the way you made the person almost seemed to make her look like an illusion or something, and that's really neat.
    I give this a 9/10

    Her name is Saber, from Fate.

    All the effects on her were done with Smudging/Liquify. And those pixels are actually invisible text, believe it or not, haha.

    that's it, smudging. For some reason I had blur in my head. But yeah, I can sorta make out the invisible text now that you say what it is

    I like what you guys have done here, but there is simply too much lighting on her right side. Left side of the image, for clarity. You need a bit more shading to make her look more three dimensional and give her a place in the image. It looks flat as it is.

    Makaze pretty much summed it up... as usual.

    What I like about this piece:
    1. Great use of colors for the background, i see different shades that keep it entertaining.
    2. The flow of the clouds really compliment well with the character, it helps bring movement to the picture.
    3. The use of "sun flares" and sparkles are very well placed. They help lighten the more obvious darker spots.
    4. The hair is exceptional. The chiaroscuro (use of light and dark) tones are very apparent, it brings about a 3D feel.

    Things that could use some work:
    1. Be careful of composition. It is almost never good to have a character smack-dab in the middle. Not because it's wrong, but because it usually doesn't bring out its optimum visual beauty. This knightly woman is off to the right a bit, but maybe just a tad more to the right would be better.
    2. There is too much light. It makes the colors seem too diluent, and thus loses a little of its appeal. It makes the piece lose its chromatic feel.
    3. I am unsure if it was intentional or not, but the invisible lettering hurts the visual presentation of it. It feels like something is tampering with the lights and darks of the picture.

    Hahaa i dunno if any of that made sense... However i must say this was a good turn out. Collaboration is often very fun, and i can tell you both had a good time.

    I actually find dual artist art to be quite intriguing. It brings about more insight and thought, as well as more meaning.

    I really enjoyed this piece and i hope to see more from both of you. Good job!

    P.S. Great title for the artwork, i love latin, it really is mystifying too look at! bellatrix sauciata, "hurt by martial" is its direct translation. However i am curious as to its original meaning. Greek and Latin have MANY translations, this is only one. Hahaa! Good job on that too!
