Critique on Possible Print?

[B455-W07F]

A few months ago I asked for a critique on a WIP (well, maybe more than I few months ago, considering the theme of the print series was 'Colorful Cocktails' for summer...) anyways, I finally finished the first print this evening, but it doesn't feel finished? Maybe its just me?

If there was anything I'd ask for critique on, it would be the liquid. A previous critique I was given was to change the shape of the water I had originally, but I'm not sure if it came out alright- plus I tried to keep simple in a cell-shaded style. Is the thing good? x]

Thanks in advance guys! ;w;

The liquid needs more sharpness. it doesn't LOOK like a liquid. it seems to have a glow or fuzziness to it. Because it's a slow-mo or frozen shot, the liquid needs to look almost gel like with a sharp outline that's much lighter than the body. Concentrate on the small blobs and driplettes and give EVERY one a bright glowy spot in the same corner. The purple "After" shot looks better but if you highlighted the corners and curves with pure white, you'd have a better looking liquid. if bright white clashes with the white fur, try darkening the white fur ever so slightly; it'll still appear white but the highlights of the liquid will look lightER.

Hope that helps / makes sense...
( i'm also in a hurry to leave so i can't find examples at the moment )

Aye, that makes perfect sense! No worries, I've been busy and almost forgot about posting this thread...
I think I was worried about making the white highlights in the liquid and the white in the fur blend too much so it was indistinguishable- but I'll fiddle with the settings and see where it goes ^^
