So great! Shading face with light coming from below is so hard, I`m doing something similar right now. Maybe I`ll learn something from you

I love the golden colours in this picture. She looks so sweet and innocent, who knew she could lock men away in tiny prisons, lol! I like her outfit and the design on her forehead.

Love it as always. I like the different sort of culture you brought into this one, with the jewelery across her forehead and her clothing. Such amazing detail. I must ask about the area near her eye and on her hand...there is what looks like an orange signature. If thats used as a watermark, may I suggest making it a little more obvious? I wasn't sure what it was at first.

I know, I was in a hurry and needed to do something before I left for the hospital for a day or 2.
It's a big DA watermark now lol

I HATE watermarks, but I need em now...

christwriter [2007-07-13 03:25:12 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful.

I love the lighting and how you gave her skin that glow...especially her nose. Just enough reddish tint to make it look translucent, the way skin would look. Her skin texture is marvelous.

I think you could have thrown a little pink on her fingers, especially her thumb. Anything that would light her face like that would make her fingers glow red. Her hair appears a little stringy. You could go with a little more detail, perhaps a few more individual strands. The fabric is a little too stiff and fuzzy-looking. Finally, I think you used a tiny, transparent version of your signature to watermark the image, which is visible on her hand and near her eye? Don't do that ever again. It's utterly useless as a watermark because it's easily mistaken for part of the painting.. I only noticed it because the bit on her hand looks like a scribble intended as a tatoo, and everything else was so perfectly meticlious that I couldn't believe you'd let something as interesting as a hand-tatoo be that...scribble-ish. If you're going to watermark, you want it to be obvious and clear.

To sum...freaking gorgeous work, worthy of a thousand favs. Perfectly meticlious shading, with the exception of her fingers, which could use more of a red-glow. Your signature-as-watermark is completely useless, as I said, because it blends in too well. The best use of watermark would incorporate the URL of the website your art is being displayed on in clear, readable, unrecognisable text that would let every viewer in the world know where your art is supposed to be. It defaces your art, but unfortunately, that's the point of watermarking: to make it obviously stolen and useless for any serious reproductions.

PLEASE keep it up. Your work is pro quality and I'd love to see more.

Thank you so much for such an elaborated comment!!!
About the watermark: I know... just needed to have something for the first few days.. DA watermark is on it now.
And I'll see what I can do about those fingers, because I had another look and you're right...
They could use more magenta/pink tones!!

Thanks!!!
I really appreciate it!!!
