Description This is inspired by the nose art of the "Memphis Belle" B-17F ; started originally for a forum activity.

I'm not quite sure if I am yet satisfied with this, but I've put a few hours into it already and need to put it down. Maybe I'll set it to a background in the future... you know if I don't hate it at that point.

Anyway, hope you like!

Photoshop : 10-15 hours (I lost track, could be more or less)

What forum were you on when you got this idea? I have to check this place out if you do this kind of art there.

Very nice! very nice indeed! I think it would pop a little more if you added the name Memphis Belle into it like the bomber, though.
But the girl... I don't know what to say. Utterly amazing.

I'd say there needs to be more of a difference between highlight and shade in the hair (now, it reads as basically a field of middle tone), the right hand and telephone need finishing, and she needs the barest intimation of something to lean on (so the weight of the image balances a bit better).

Otherwise, perfect. I especially commend you on using a bluish shade for both the skin and the bathing suit. It could easily have looked unrealistic, but it doesn't, and it makes the image really pop (the suit especially).
