I'm glad you think so, I wanted her to look mysterious. Yes, although at the time I painted this it seemed finished to me, I see that it isn't now, thanks for pointing that out. It would need some more blending and general refining.
Yes it does help, thank you!

It's amazing what happens when you step back from a piece after a while. I'm actually beginning I should force breaks on myself during pieces...

Indeed. That's why I always wait some days after I finished an artwork before I upload it to dA, to see whether it's really "finished". Most of the time it isn't^^

What a very creative choice of colors. A very interesting way to use green without making it look radioactive. Instead it looks very mystical and intriguing. Good job!

I love the colors. They blend well with each other. I love how the snake earring looks like it is glowing. And I like the expression she has on her face. Great job!

I think you've done a great job with the proportions and lighting. However my personal opinion is that it would have been nice to have some details. Right now it's all very blend in together. Maybe if you did the snake on her headband and her eyes and mouth a little bit more detailed, it would have been even better.

Riemea In reply to Hemispheree [2012-06-02 22:56:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! You're right, I should have rendered them better But I kind of like the painting the way it is now, so I won't change anything, though maybe I'll revise it someday in the future
