Description
In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.I missed doing portraits. Managed to finish this one pretty fast, although I procrastinated a lot. Hope you guys like it! Comments and criticism most appreciated

Again, the face gives exactly the feeling which would suit my notion of a siren. ^^ I start to wonder how you're doing this....

EXCELLENT work! Did a great job on everything. The gold dust/leaf effect on her face is really cool too.
Critiques....can only see one thing (and I had to look hard anything out of place) Her thumb. I tried putting my thumb in that position and ouch. Then again, we're dealing with non-human or hybrid anatomy so that might be normal. I don't know. I hate saying it though because the rest of the work is soooooo good.

You're very welcome!
I only bring up stuff like that to try and help others improve. (God knows I need to improve myself) And I'm not good at doing hands myself at all, so that's probably why I noticed it. I'm so used to looking for hand mistakes in my own pictures.
Thinking of getting a small mirror for just that purpose. That way at least my characters finger bones won't be curved. O.O (some of my early fists looked like pretzels)
Anyway, I hope it helps in some small way.

The green shading gives a mysterious yet dangerous touch. And her face is beautifully round-shaped and the way her eyes are widely separated from each other she doesn't look totally human. A very nice peace of art.
