Artist's Comments

"I watch the western sky, the sun is sinking.." When I was finished with this, that snippet of one of Sting's songs popped into my mind. I believe it is appropriate. Ghost Story is a beautiful song.

So yes, I spent a lot of time on this. I believe I am most impressed with how her hair turned out. I am least content with her face... I can't get skin down for some reason, but I redid the skin over and over. Feh!

I used a few of :iconmree:'s tutorials as far as pointers are concerned... that and a lot of reference images from across the web.

Anyway, comments would be greatly appreciated- especially critiques on my style and helpful hints on how to make future images more realistic.

I can agree with you that I'm getting better. Look at my older stuff.
No wait, don't look at that, you might unwatch me. XD

sankyuu! And you fav'd it too. =)

Yes I've been doing my best to improve myself. I did a lot with the background on this one as well as the woman herself.

hehe thanks for the compliments

OH WHIT!
It looks so good! you've really improved! haha I love her expression too, whatever she is looking at (with her gorgeous eyes XD), it must really interest her! she looks so disgusted/intruiged/astounished I can't really describe it! XD Also very nice work on the shack.. or the environment in general!

The only thing that I can think of as critique, is that her mouth is perhaps located a little too low in her face, which gives her a really tiny chin. But that's all~
~colored-wine:iconcolored-wine: Jan 9, 2008, 5:32:51 PM
Do you like her eyes? I had trouble doing them, because I followed a tutorial but my eyes were a much smaller resolution so I couldn't do that great of a job with it. But thank you!

The critique is well-taken. I need to work with more realistic faces. I'm trying to move away from that anime look.

yeah I noticed that... it's definitely well worth it I think

^_^ and you're more than welcome!

I will be looking forward to seeing your next piece
